It seems Evolv use a fuzzy logic algorithm to control power delivery in TC, this allows good temperature control even if the TCR of the wire is not well defined, or if there are small resistance variations caused by not perfect 510 contacts.
Dicodes relies, on the other hand, on lower front-end noise and higher A/D conversion rates, to a level unseen in other TC devices. Therefore if the TCR setting is not spot-on, the device will not work as expected.
Evolv = better software; Dicodes = better hardware.
The TCR of Chinese SS heating wire is more of a lottery, simply I don't rely on their stated numbers at all - because I noted a variance of 20% of the stated TCR of 92 for 316L wire.
I sometime use the Dicodes wire (NiFethal) which is 320 - spot on.
Also I bought a 30 meters (100 ft) roll of Ss316L wire and spent few hours to find out its precise TCR; it is once-in-a-roll job, and my roll is very big... So no more SS blunders for quite awhile now...
