Guys..I need some help..I finally gave in and ordered the SX mini (M class) from Breazy. This will be my first time to venture into TC. I am not planning to subohm by any chance and my builds are usually in the 1-1.5 ohms range on a Rose V.2 or a K4 ..etc. (I rarely drip or use a Subtank). And my nic level is usually around 12 mg.
Now I wonder:
1. what's the best wire to work with (tastewise, healthwise, and ease of building)?
2. Will i stay in the same resistance range? or should I aim for a different resistance?
3. Will I have to lower my nic concentration?
I know I have to do my homework but I thought you guys can give me the relevant pointers and guidelines and I can take it from there.

Congratulations! I think you'll really enjoy the SX.
First of all, it more than holds its own as a VW device, so don't feel like you have to use it in TC just because you have it. I tried it out, discovered that I personally prefer kanthal, and still use it as my daily driver (although I'll likely try it again soon, as TC is still evolving rapidly).
Anyways, Ni200 and titanium are still the most prevalent TC wires, but the consensus seems to be shifting over to stainless steel. There are health concerns about overheating Ni and Ti (so no dry burning) which don't seem to apply to SS. Also, Ni200 is relatively soft and can be a pain to work with.
Resistance doesn't matter as much with TC. It will be lower, but that's okay - SXMM can fire coils as low as 0.05 ohm in TC mode. Since the mod is regulating temperature, the resistance won't have nearly as much of an effect on your vape as your temperature setting and your coil's surface area.
I'd keep your nic concentration the same, at least at first. I personally use 6mg juice, and it works for me both in VW and TC. You can always get lower concentration later if you need to (or mix what you have with 0mg to lower it).
Finally, I'd recommend checking out the SXMM review by pbusardo (think it's a 2-parter). The device is relatively simple to use for all of its functionality, but there's still a fair amount to learn to get the most out of it.
