Temp Control has kicked my bum. No mas. Done with it

TC has alot of variables that don't ONLY have to do with the atomizer. Contact points, the accuracy of the mod and even the ability to adjust TCR all come into play on top of what coils you use and/or what build you have on the atty.

If you want to try TC I recommend a mod that has adjustable TCR and try it with a few different atomizers, all I can say is play with it until you find your sweet spot, you'll find there really isn't a set rule of thumb on anything including temperature.

As I have found tiny fractures in Kanthal after being dry burned and with a microscope you can see rust in the cracks. So when somebody says they see something that looks like rust on their Kanthal coils, I know why.

Kanthal becomes more and more porous the more you use it, it's the dna of the metal itself. Over time tiny fractures and other imperfections will happen but this is completely normal.

I used to be a big fan of SS, until I dry burned one the other day and I got this awful smell. Dry burned it again since I thought maybe it was just the smell of gunk burning. Nope, smell was twice as strong as it was before. Then I thought maybe it will go away at vaping temperatures. So I juiced it up and nope, it tasted like it smelled. I checked my other builds that I knew I had dry burned before and they all had that hint of that taste too. Replaced all of my SS coils with Ni200 again. Now I hate SS wire.

I would suggest that goes to Dry burning technique, not the SS.
I never dry burn to Glowing Hot and never have issues with any type wire.

Stainless Steel has become my coil of choice, especially for TC. Try some stainless.

I've tried an Eleaf and two Aspire kits and the Ni and Ti coils that came with them. I'm done with the frustrations of trying to find settings that work. Too persnickety. I'll stick with kanthal ... sub ohm or otherwise. Anyone else?

LOL! I'm hardly surprised! My vape has just one setting, that being ON. I push that button and get a rich tastey warm satisfying vape of big vapor. That's all I need. What I don't need is for my vape to be complicated all up and down with settings and chips and menus and boards and weird metal types of wire. I just use kanthal and mesh in a genny on a mech. I wind my coil for .7 ohm, and temperature control is automatically correct. I push the button, and Ahhhhhhhh!

Why people want to so unnecessarily complicate it all to the point of being that frustrated I'll never understand. Simplify your vape and your life. Learn how to build an atty right and you don't need that temperature control business at all. Personally I think it amounts to little more than another marketing gimmick and yet another re-invention of the wheel.
