You can use Kanthal on a tc mod,but it won't be in temp control mode,it will be in wattage mode.

The wires most commonly used for coils are kanthal, nickel, titanium and stainless steel. Kanthal only works in watts mode, nickel and titanium only work in TC mode, stainless will work in watts or temp control mode. I'm using stainless lately for temp control. I have switched the mod to watts control and it still works fine. I stopped using kanthal when I switched to temp control. I stopped using nickel early on because it's low resistance make smaller coils than I wanted. Titanium got moved aside when I started using stainless because the higher resistance of stainless means it's easier to make higher ohm coils, 1.0-1.4 ohms, and stainless works on the couple of watts only mods that I have.

If you're new to this it's probably better to start with a setup that doesn't have many settings for you to decide about then hang around this forum, read stuff, ask questions, learn and be patient.

For someone looking to try temp control,stainless is imo the best way to go,because of the fact that it works in tc and wattage mode.I just recently started using ss,and i like it a bit more than Kanthal.

I like the way SS vapes, but it can be a real PITA with anything other than a pair of hardened diagonal cutters, but they can't cut close to posts. I utterly ruined the clippers I used to cut Kanthal on my first SS coil.
