Power mode or temp control? What's your preference?

[Paul lamb]

As above

I was a TC fan boy for a very long time but I find that in all my new rtas that you just can't beat good old kanthal in power mode?

What do you prefer

Both has their advantages and disadvantages. Wattage mode I can build whatever coil I like and it will always work without much problems. But since I am a chain vaper, who likes high wattages, I will often get dry hits when vaping too much.

In tc mode I don't have to worry about dry hits and my wick burning, but I could only get tc to work perfectly with Ni200, so that means thin spaced wire only. Trying to use ss in tc mode has been a big hassle to get working properly and even when it's working properly their are still problems. Also with the DNA200 and UD ss wire, tc mode only works with spaced high ohm builds. So I'm still stuck with thin spaced wire.

SS was suppost to be the holy grail for me, being able to use both tc and wattage mode, but that has not been the case I found. Your only able to do tc with ss on certain builds and then I might as well use Ni200.

If I had to choose I would go with tc and Ni200, as my best vapes are with tc. I often switch back and forth though. I actually bought a second deck for my Aromamizer Supreme, One for tc and one for wattage.

TC for NI200
Watts for the rest.

VV mode preferred.

Power mode.

Temp controll, is ALWAYS different variant of manufacture and coding.

After receiving my nugget mod(first tc device) I played around with tc and went up to the city to a vape shop. The manager was reluctant to let me "test some mods", but did anyways. Come to find, what I thought, was correct....
4 different mods, all 4 set to nickel mode and 420*f. Swapped the tank over/between mods to try them, and none of them were "similar" in heat when it came down to it... one mod in particular was way off and I asked the manager to see a second unit (both behaved the same)


"Power" mode. - I chose my mods specifically to run them in "power" mode.

Note: "power" mode for me is VV or unregulated. I don't have mods that run STRICTLY VW or tc only.

Same here. Plain old kanthal wire in power mode.

Yea, for that Over the top, To hot Vapw that gives that just right Kick to the Throat as it slightly starts to singe things...........Kanthal can't be beat.

Even in a Good Daily Vape build Kanthal is nice.

Properly setup, even a TC Nickel build does wonders.
Ti well, it just works better.
Waiting for my next RDA's to try out SS

I guess I'm saying Both modes have their place.

 

[Deryan3]

For me, kanthal is my primary on occasion I will use SS TC with enjoyment.

If you don't like the ss at first,don't give up on it right away.My first time trying it,i hated it,and pulled the build back out after less than 5 minutes.I finally decided to try it again a few weeks later,and at first still hated it,but after the coils started to get broke in,it got better.I have been running the coils all day for a few weeks now,and they have been great.I don't care for tc,but stainless makes for a nice vape in power mode.

After years, I finally got a TC mod, and after a while found that I really like it, it's stable, it makes the vape constant... I now rebuild my coils with Ni200 and wouldn't go back to just W mode.

 

[rhelton]

VW and VV with plain ole kanthal

 

[Paul lamb]

Does anyone think a single TC coil performs better than a dual coil setup?

I don't know if I'd say better, but darn close with a vertical coil here, and it doesn't guzzle liquid as much.

 

[Falconeer]

I have a couple of TC capable mods but only run them in watts mode at around 8 watts...works for me, but I tend to be a "if it ain't broke don't fix it kind of guy.

When I build coils, for me again, it's the simple solution of 28 Kanthal wire wrapped round my wife's old 2mm crochet hook aiming for around 1.5 - 1.8 ohms.

Each to his own however!

To be more specific

Would there be any difference in a dual TI coil than a single TI coil in the same atty with the same mod?

Actually the Eleaf coils are dual coils (for their Khantal). Between those and once I rebuild them as a single coil, not really any difference that I tell.

I'd say it more about surface and proper wicking.
