is it safe to vape in temp mode with kanthal?

First... that ignores the existence of Titanium, Stainless Steel, Kanthal 52, etc. for TC use.
To your question, yes it's safe but most TC mods will kick out of TC Mode when they don't see the expected rise in resistance. Others allow it, but there's no TC function or dry hit prevention happening.
And the IPV D2 needs it for high ohm/low power coils because it cannot "step down" below the battery voltage in power mode.
I haven't looked more into this, but I believe in Power Mode, for "hotter vape" users, we run a tad higher than the standard max temp of TC mods (~600F).
So yes... KanthalA1 would be safe in TC as well, though of course the TC isn't limiting it.
Well I think your cousin needs to update his knowledge as titanium and stainless steel are being used by a great many people with very good results. Until I got into ss recently I didn't realise how much of a taste nickel actually gives a vape but now my vape is noticeable in clean taste. True kanthal temp control doesn't exist at the minute the asolo has what it calls taste control for kanthal which users of the mod say prevents dry hits and innokin at some point are releasing their new tc tech but you'll be locked into proprietary hardware to take advantage of that.
It's impossible to vape in TC mode with K1. Anyone that says they have or can is not vaping in TC mode. The chip will not read the high resistance of kanthal. It doesn't work.
I don't think it's possible, never mind safe. A well designed mod won't allow it.
What you need to remember is nickel and titanium are ONLY for TC and should NEVER be used in wattage mode
There are some mods that you can put in temp mode and then vape kanthal, but the temp control doesn't actually work.
Temperature control works by measuring the resistance change of the coil as it heats up. Kanthal has almost no resistance change as it's heated so temperature control doesn't work.

Dna and a few others will just automatically turn off TC mode. Others wont care and work just fine. This girl at work has a D2 and she cant seem to figure out how to switch from TC to Power mode. Forgetful or whatever the deal is so when she changes a tank I have gotten her to lock her resistance every time and it works just fine.
Not
Phrasing this correctly.
Mode is Functional position of Mod.
TC Mode indicates the ability to regulate as Temperature control<under correct provisions>
IPV-D2 Set to Temperature Control Mode - TC, Will allow Kanthal usage. No, it will NOT regulate Temperature.
Correct statement would be - NO you cannot Vape kanthal(A1) as a Temperature controlled material. Or, Kanthal A1 does not Regulate in temperature control mode.
VV Mode
VW Mode
TC Mode
Off Mode
TC mode wasnt designed to do Kanthal... and a Lamborghini Diablo wasnt designed to pull a 40' trailer...
If u are able to fire a kanthal in TC.... well surely ur TC is not working properly.... most of TC s will kick back to Power mode when fires with kanthal....
regardless.... if u Can fire... safeeis not an issue
regardless.... if u Can fire... safeeis not an issue
Yes you can use Kanthal safely for TC.. IF YOUR MOD has Kanthal settings. Problem is that most TC mods are not accurate or sensitive enough to regulate Kanthal or nichrome in TC mode. Mainly due to the high resistivity of the wire. kanthal and nichrome are actually SAFER than the wires used for TC, as they off gas less bad stuff when heated.
Kanthal in TC mode is not a danger. Safety becomes an issue when you fire nickel or titanium in power mode. First off you will get the worst dry/burnt hit of your life, and more importantly you will be inhaling some nasty chemicals that are reported to be carcinogenic. You will have sad face :-(
