117F cannot/willnot produce any vape. Period

while i agree tensions are rising (needlessly) There is a lot of good questions, very little answers just conjecture and perhaps off-based anecdotal responses We have people saying they are at 330F and not reaching temps... Did they calibrate their tc with any KNOWN variable such as the "cotton burn test" or are they purely going off of a CLAIMED wire type (316L has been faked/forged with 304 not to be mistaken with 340) TCR values will still vary even if metal purity is within spec for said variety Understanding that people who are new to tc all of a sudden claiming they are 100% safe within a couple hours with very few questions or information leaves one to be skeptical about their response. I am not claiming anybody is wrong but even I who have been vaping EDIT: WITH TC for 3+ months now cannot claim to be vaping at anything specific even after calibrating my device i know i am at least +/- 20 from where i set it, and that is good enough for me.
Under Ideal conditions is it possible for kanthal to never reach the thermal breakdown threshold for these liquids, sure. Is it far more propable that they will exceed these thresholds over the lifetime of a tank/wick/coil vs a TC regulated one... absolutely. To vape a week in TC would give more of an understanding of how you vape. I notice when my wick is seemingly not wicking fast enough by the time my coil decides to heat, when it isnt wicking properly with zero change it doesnt heat long... sometimes it gets airlocked not often but does happen when i change liquids and go from a nearly empty but not empty tank. Walk a mile in my shoes so you know how i feel... I think those who are "trying" tc should do so for a longer stint before claiming they are safe.... That is my opinion and it is very opinionated

When dealing with the unknown lets try and know as much as possible as can be known...
