I tried TC for a bit last year. Mostly on my Subtank Minis. It wasn't bad but my mod (Evic VT) seemed to be a bit under powered. Because the majority of my tanks are Kayfuns (which don't do well with TC) I really didn't get into it. The Evic has bitten the dust since then but I have replaced it with two newer mods that can do TC. I just don't really try at this point.

Primarily TC here. My preferred wire is NiFe48, 0.4mm. Running at 22W, with an 8 wrap spaced coil at 0.25 cold ohms at 250C|480F - I think the trick is you need an atty with plenty of airflow and a non-adjustable 510. I am a flavour junkie, and tuning the temperature for flavour gives you so much more control than just adjusting the power setting. I get less coil junk, and have to rewick less often :)

I just can't get a great vape from TC these days but maybe I've lost my way a little

May add some CSV files on escribe and see how it goes
I noticed in another thread you were trying to use ss with tc on the DNA200. It can be a real pain to get working. You have to build high ohm (0.5 and above) and space them for it to work correctly. Even then it can be sometimes erratic. I just gave up with ss and tc on the DNA200.

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
By May 2015 I was vaping a 1.5 ohm kanthal coill at 20 watts. These days it's 400 degrees and 30 max watts with a 1.36 ohm stainless coil. With stainless I can switch back and forth and find I prefer temp control, in particular because I only use rda's and they are way easier to live with out and about in TC mode. I'm trying to avoid increasing power. It puts more stress on batteries, consumes more liquid, potentially annoys more people. If I was younger I'm sure I'd enjoy annoying more people but apparently I got over that.

The best ss vape I've gotten so far was on a crown coil, I know they have nickel legs but it vaped so well in TC every other ss build has been a pain
