I've been vaping for a couple of years. Started with ego and have slowly graduated to subohm tanks and now on to rda and coil building. I still use basic kanthal for basic "wrap around a drill bit" type builds. My most recent mod (g-priv touch screen) has TC mode. What types of wire does this require? Is there any significant difference in flavor/vapor production? How much more time, money, learning would I need to invest in this?

I use 28g stainless because it's easy to work with and will also work in power mode if necessary. TC is power mode with a temperature limit. I can vape at higher watts than I would in power mode.
Titanium grade 1, ni200 (pure nickel), or stainless steel 316l. Other wires such as NiFe and stainless steel 317, 430 will work but require you to dial in the correct tcr number (if your mod offers this function). Kanthal and nichrome won't work in tc. I'd suggest staying away from ni200 as its extremely low resistance and softness makes it hard to work with. Stainless steel is my favourite as it can be dry burned to clean and can be used in both tc and vw modes.

Second and third above. SS is the way to go as it's versatile and easy to work with. Outside of buying the wire, there are no other start up costs to using TC. Time and learning? Not long at all to get up and running with simple SS coils.
SS316L 28g my favourite go to... i like being able to switch when needed between wattage and tc.
Wadcha talkin bout Chea, switch? Why for? Be my hero and splain me this TC. Newb-me.
G'luck.
right now i'm under a blizzard warning etc.... so when i'm driving the truck picking up a customer and get a second to vape... a dry hit is the last thing i need lmao, i'm already stressed over our crappy unploughed roads, a bad vape and my redheaded temper might just flare up a tad... so i use like i said TC now when driving and otherwise wattage.
Oh I heard that. Why do you think this Northeasterner relocated back to his home state of FL years back? You know what the NJTP and US80 approaches into NYC are like icebound! Used to tell folks Cali has tremblers and Fla has hurricanes but NJ has snow. I drive everywhere with two drippers these days and the only thing I concern about are the dazed tourists from Canada. G'luck.
G'luck.
i'm from the rockies originally, just north of idaho really(9 months of snow and possible snow all year round)... but i've been here long enough to learn ontario drivers are terrifying...
If you're suggesting I inferred Canadians are anything but excellent drivers, I said nothing of the kind. Welcome, one and all!
Good luck.
p.s. You're brave souls out there, all who drive. I worked in big-ticket logistics and I have the greatest respect.
