Stainless steel.....power or tc?

You can use SS wire in either VW or TC mode. The problem with nickel and titanium is if you get the wire too hot it oxidizes fast and it may not be safe to vape the oxidation products. SS is stable enough at high temps.
1: Why do tc mods offer a stainless steel setting:
So that you can run steel in tc mode.
2: The wattage range printed on the coil is basically the wattage range corresponding to the right temperature.
If you run a coil at the recommended wattage,
- in wattage mode, when the wick goes dry, the coil will get red hot
- in tc mode, when the wick goes dry, the mod reduces power so as not to burn the wick.
A tiny little coil inside a BLU can only take a tiny amount of power.
A big fat octocoil takes a lot of power; printing the recommended wattage on the coil is just so you know whether to bother buying the coil or not; for example, if you have a 30 watt mod, no point buying tfv4 120 watt coils; doesn't matter if they are steel or nickel or whatever.
Stainless can be run in either mode. I usually run it in power mode. But it works just fine in TC as well.
The problem is with the Uwell Crown, guys. even though it "says" ss but the leg of the wiring, if I'm not mistaken, is not ss. That would throw tc in most mods off.
But it works really great in vw, as I've found out. And out of so many mods I have, the only one that works with the Crown tank using SS TC is the KBOX200.

BTW, actually, come to think of it, it even says on the box's sleeve. TC is the Ni200. Which means SSs are not.

I run it in both, almost wish they'd give up on Titanium, Nickel and Kanthal altogether since most new mods are capable of temperature control, how many times do newbies accidentally run Ni/Ti in wattage mode without knowing better, if all tc mods sold with tanks came with SS316L coils it wouldn't be a problem.
SS316L is all I use now...

Too bad I, and many others, don't have the Hohm Wrecker G2. But I'm trying very hard to get my hands on at least one, if not two.

So, using my homemade ss316L coils in power mode, will the resistance fluctuate???
I've accidently ran wattage when I first started. Did that for about half a day and was wondering why there was either no vapour or very hot vapour and nothing in between. Luckly I didnt burn the wick as I was still learning to vape and only did short hits.
I am gonna try SS coil in tc mode see how that goes. I think SS coil is ok in both vw and tc.
I bought mine from Vapercube. They had a discount (I think 5%) and I got really good service from them. They shipped really fast and if I remember correctly I was also able to get free shipping.
They aren't the prettiest Box Mod I have (or have seen) but I have been really pleased with it so far. Just so you know the Red G2's are kind of an orangish red.
Yes. Mine tend to fluctuate anywhere from a few hundredths to a tenth.
Unfortunately, I live in one of a dark, shadowy country that the only way I can get any gears are from the merchants and if they're not interested in something, then we probably wouldn't be able to get it.
That is, unless I go abroad to, let's say some vape fair, and happen to see it.

I gave up on temp control but I run SS coils in all my RBAs/RTAs in just straight power mode. Works great and no more frustrating changes in vapor production when I go outside or to the garage where it's colder.
