regarding your talk about the dna 75,
whats the big difference compared to e.g. the pico or predator mod with artic fox?
Just accuracy on set temp= actual temp?
Yep, you pretty much got it, assuming you loaded Artic Fox.
Some argue that one brand is better than another, but really it is all about what works for YOU.

I am partial to DNAs myself, in large part due to their customer service. They honor warranties better than anybody, and take care of their customers. That support has earned my loyalty.

But they are not the only TC game in town, and some others, notably Yihi, also do a pretty good job at it.

Classy, does it mean that we're going back to all those "hot links" again? Please say it ain't so... Those things were so annoying.



...they have never been gone, and have been there for several years.

Just reading several of Mike's blogs, very informative....
If I am looking at this right (maybe, maybe not) there is always a trace element of some of these substances, even at lower temperatures. Increasing temperature radically increases the release of the gases (which are present anyways, but can be limited at lower temps).
Personal vaping styles- MTL, DLH, and the amounts of vapor you are intaking also affect the amount of these gases. Longer DTL hits will still intake a certain amount of these substances, even at lower temperatures.
Fuel (wick saturation) and air flow I can understand.
Good work, Mike. I think the Title and OP might be a little misleading to the excellent information you have provided the vaping community.



(for Mike- Boiler Tech, 3rd Class, USS Suribachi AE-21, 1979- 1983. If you were ever active in the Mediterranean or North Seas, we were probably unrep neighbors.)
DNA vs. Yihi?

Sorry, I just can't stop. I blame DPLongo. He started that.

DNA IMHO, boards are similar quality but service and support from Evolv beats Yihi, no contest.

Well Mike, gotta say Thank You for your effort. While I am not a TC user and probably will not change anytime soon. I did learn my style should be well within conservative standards - especially with the other precautions I already take. I do wish you had done a little more with heavy PG mixes, but extrapolating from your work and the blogs you provided have given me enough reading material... Again Thanks...

The best way I heard it put was like this:

HI Mike and ECF everyone, Thank you very much for putting all of this together Mike. I've been trying to wrap my head around this, reading and rereading the data and the posts then the temperatures and watching controls on my mod - both have me confused!! Of course I'm wanting to be as safe as possible if I can control the issue in any way.

I'm using a Smoant Battlestar it has TC, but when I use the TC it seems to burn hotter, I can taste it. Even on the lowest setting for the TC will kick on at 100C or 200F and says it's burning at 75W which is way hotter than I usually use. But if I use the Watts where I normally have it that's at 35W and it's a much smoother throat hit rather mild. Then when it's on the W setting I can't tell what the actual temp is burning at.
So is it better to use it at the 35W or the TC when it tastes hotter?
Which is producing the lower chemical output:danger:
Thanks Again
Jody
