So...
Anyone keeping score? Looks like the neck beards are in the lead.

How about the whole quote in context? Or does that not suit the agenda to push your way?
"Now that I’ve started using an rda and an RTA on my two iStick Picos 75, I’ve realized that I can easily switch to temperature control, if I use the right coils. It seems to me that there are only upsides to TC, and it’s basically a no-brainer to switch to it. Or is there a significant downside that I’m missing?"
No there is no significant downside to TC.
It is worth trying every way of vaping. If you're bored with the topic stop coming into it.
Loads of reasons
It's a pain setting up
The inconsistency how it works from one device to another
The fact it only works in a fashion with some devices
The fact that they have a nerve even having TC on other devices because it doesn't work at all
The fact i have done both and i know about 4 others (not forums in the flesh) that have done both and we all just use power modes now basically because we all came to the conclusion TC was **** in our opinions i have met nobody outside of forums that rate TC at all.
I hear all the arguments for TC, no dry hits burn't hits etc but i never get dry hits or burn't hits using power mode.
I find it very interesting in an interview about replay when it was mentioned at Evolv they were discussing amongst themselves why none of them used or could be bothered using TC and the answer seemed to be they found it a pain in the .... for no real benefit. And that's the Evolv staff even when the reviewers with the data charts for temp control are talking about them they are doing so while vaping in power mode.
People are not stupid and if TC was so great that's how people would vape, those that use it and like it great for them.
Odd how I don't have a problem setting it up, even on mods that are supposed to not do it right. It's a pain for you, not me.
I had one mod that claimed curve was TC, much like someone who questioned my abilities. And a mod that had real TC but for some reason just wouldn't always apply the same power.
So should people who want to try TC listen to those who tried it but found it a pain to set up or should they listen to those who have no problem setting it up?
And why do you have such a problem with those who can do something teaching how to do it?
It doesn't matter if you have no problem burning a wick pocket firing or getting dry hits. How many posts from others are there about those problems? You do not represent everyone on the face of the Earth just like me using TC exclusively doesn't represent your tastes.
If I didn't have TC I may as well go back to MTL gennies (the real gennies not what newbs call gennies). I don't do well with burn and science says unless you limit the temperature you are getting aldehydes.
So basically you're saying the people from Evolv are scamming everyone by making a product they don't believe it but hype beyond belief because they know it sells? Or maybe they are just hyping a new thing to sell.
If you think people are not stupid you haven't worked retail or paid attention to the stuff people believe from politicians.
And basically if you think telling people who TC works is ramming it down throats, all your posts here are trying to ram your way down other people's throats who want to try TC but shouldn't because you don't like it.

And will only get better. TC is here to stay and improve. Wouldn't even be surprised if it becomes required by law like TPD.
If you don't find it a pain to set up good for you and if anyone likes and prefers TC that's fine by me but to the question to are there any downsides you said
"No there is no significant downside to TC."
Which is a fair enough answer because it's your point of view and others would agree but that statement was made in a response to me. So i merely pointed out my opinion which i am just as entitled as you of reasons against it. You and many others won't and don't have to agree with me but many would else why are so few people using TC and why so many who have used it have gone back to using power mode.
When it comes to Evolve i simply stated a fact in an interview between Brandon and Daniel it was discussed why people don't use TC and it was mentioned the same question was asked to the staff of which most don't use it. I just am repeating what was said in an interview, not accusing, implying, or anything simply saying what was said. But the answer did come out as it was a pain to use.
Is that an admission that you think people are stupid?
I suspect the interview you are talking about and took out of context, he didn't say no Evolv workers use TC. Of DNA users including Evolv workers 10% use TC all the time, 20% use it some of the time. He did not say they only surveyed Evolv employees.
What he focused on was the volatilization temperatures of flavors. His solution for that is replaying TC. Maybe Replay works with power (it doesn't sound like it does) but what he says is it uses TC wires.
He also said before Replay he was a die in the wool TC vaper. So if he is your one to listen to he said use TC if you don't have Replay.
That temperature volatilization would be better taken care of with temperature control curves. If Pineapple is coming out at 350 and coconut is coming out at 380 set up a curve that does that. Don't rely on randomly having that happen and then hitting Replay.
I know some people wouldn't mind that but that would be very disappointing for me, as I cannot stand using any of the TC wires. I am one of those few people that Kanthal and Nichrome are the only two wires I don't get weird flavors from.Wouldn't even be surprised if it becomes required by law like TPD.
It wasn't that interview no it was Brandon and Daniel and it's a while since i watched it but it was along the lines that that even Evolv staff don't tend to use it. And your figure's say only 1 out of 10 use it all the time and 2 out of 10 just sometimes and that is in an environment where you would think even if subconsciously pressured into using it. Not exactly a shining endorsement.
I use replay and like it and i am not going to pretend to understand how it works, but yes i set it in wattage and i think the reason the coil has to be a TC wire is temperature plays a part in the calculations but it's not set by temperature. I click save after taken a vape that i really liked the flavour with then every vape after that is identical until running your cotton dry if i wish to do so. It's just one click.
I know some people wouldn't mind that but that would be very disappointing for me, as I cannot stand using any of the TC wires. I am one of those few people that Kanthal and Nichrome are the only two wires I don't get weird flavors from.
Then you do use TC. Replay needs TC wires because it is TC.
I figured that out because I was thinking it was replaying VW, which would require replaying the air temperature and puff. But it doesn't.
1 out of 10 or 3 out of 20 isn't nobody. My disease class is 5,000,000 in the world and it's not even classed as a rare disease or separately as rare diseases.
It says something that some Evolv workers think it's fidgety, you would think they would understand how it works enough to realize how to not have to fidget.
Any overstep of regulations is going to leave people out in the cold. Limiting vape style, nicotine, or wire materials.
It also works with kanthal coils as long as there is inclusion of at least some TC wire.As i understand it temperature comes into it but it isn't controlled by temperature again in the interview between Brandon and Daniel Brandon States "It's definitively not TC"
You can use a mainly kanthal coil as long as there is some TC wire present, you also don't need to pick a TC wire in the menu you just set it in wattage until you get it spot on then save.I know some people wouldn't mind that but that would be very disappointing for me, as I cannot stand using any of the TC wires.

I take it you are assuming from the "out in the cold" statement that I wouldn't use it. I only said I would be disappointed, because I would be using wire that tastes weird to me. I'm sure I would get over it with time.Any overstep of regulations is going to leave people out in the cold. Limiting vape style, nicotine, or wire materials.
I know. I've tinkered with replay. But just like any other regulated device, I lost interest and went back to mechs.You can use a mainly kanthal coil as long as there is some TC wire present, you also don't need to pick a TC wire in the menu you just set it in wattage until you get it spot on then save.

REPLAY essentially works off of duplicating the "live ohm" curve of your seed puff.
That "seed puff" can come from either TC mode or wattage mode.
If you care about max temp, then you should use TC mode for the seed puff, as that is the only way you will have any confidence you arent exceeding max. While it may sound redundant, it really isnt. We have all seen builds that would go wonkers in TC mode but REPLAY smooths that out.
The reason you need TC wire, and reason it doesnt care what kind if you seed from wattage mode, is that it still needs to have enough of a resistance change to track the change in LIVE ohms during the puff. Non TC wire doesnt have enough resistance delta.
So, once you capture a seed puff, it then try to duplicate the LIVE ohms trace of that puff, which gives great repeatability, BUT no temperature protection unless the SEED was obtain from TC mode. If the seed came from wattage mode then you have ZERO clue what the temps are because REPLAY has no clue what the TCR is, it is simply looking at the LIVE ohm change.
TBH, I see Evolv moving away from TC and promoting REPLAY, which unfortunately leaves us with no clue what temps we are actually running. It is a response to the market, the vast majority of folks love the quality of a DNA but most dont run in TC mode.
