Temp mode gives you a consistent vape from start to finish rather than progressively higher as it would in wattage mode the longer you hold the fire button down. The disadvantage is you need a temp control coil, either factory coil made for TC, or build your own. Wattage is ok with more traditional builds with Kanthal, and SS, which can work in both modes.
Oh, it also gets rid of dry hits if that matters.

Yup. And some go by both. I'm in the later group
If you have some more specific questions about this stuff just ask and we'll do our best to help you out.

It varies on they type of mods, some will revert back to Watt mode if you do not have a SS (Stainles Steel) Coil in them. Some won't. I only use SS coils so if I forget it does not matter. I do prefer TC mode as a previous poster said, no more dry hits. SS is a pain to roll though but if I go for Ni (Nickle) I will make a twist using kanthal and Ni wire. That tricks the tricky mods.
In TC mode you set wattage to balance the heat in the vape and the TC temperature to control the maximum heat in the vape and prevent heating to the point where bad chemicals are produced. The right combination prevents premature cutoff and keeps the vape just right. So, it's both at once.
Lots of vapers use wattage mode and lots use temp mode. TC mode supposedly conserves battery power, but that depends on how it's set up.
Considering TC allows us to take longer, casual pulls without constant concern for when the dry is gonna kick in... I've always been skeptical of that claim in the real world application.
Or is that just me

I think I got a little more battery life on TC than in wattage mode, but I think the savings is projected on voltage reduction time (average voltage) during a vape. Voltage dances around to keep it close, but under the set temp. The additional monitoring circuitry may actually do that, but there has to be voltage and current overhead involved in doing it. The idea that temperature top stop is preventing it from reaching Acrolein producing temps is what attracts me.

Skeptical of dry hit protection? That's supposed to be one of its good features. As I avoid a dry hit at any cost, I haven't tried for one in TC.
Maybe it would be better to think of it more like temp limiting. It will keep the coil from exceeding the temp of your choice and/or maintain that temp once reached and you're still holding the button.
Why would you "like" my post... then quote it while completely missing the point raised?
Did I not quote Dave's comment specifically enough for you to understand what I was saying?
And I thought I explained the "why".
Hell... Dave himself replied back with a well thought out counter point.
To repeat... the long standing and oft repeated specific claim concerns whether TC extends battery life.
I'm skeptical... at best I think it's close to a wash.
That's all I was saying.

I'm not sure why you believe I missed the point of your post as your quote discusses dry hits and not battery life. If you brought battery life up in a prior post I was not responding to that, but I can now.
No, I don't think there is any real world advantage for TC to extend battery life unless it's for a few minutes at best.

Wow, I'm not sure how best to correct you other than to suggest... when you practice "reading for comprehension", don't neglect the previously quoted bits.
*hint: Read closely what I quoted; my reply; and the first three sentences of Dave's response.
eta: At first I was annoyed, but now I'm amused waiting to see if and when the penny drops.
Mostly I use both at the same time, but of course only one variable controls the vape at any given time. I think of it as temperature protected not temp controlled.
I set a temperature that is above the normal wire temp of my atty setup at the watts I want to vape at. When the coil gets gunked its temp goes up at the power set and the same if I run out of juice in the tank. This is very handy when I use an all metal tank. So my vape is watt limited until something goes wrong and then the TP kicks in reducing the power as needed.
That is generally my preferred vape, but I also vape temp limited full time sometimes and in VW mode sometimes. Choices are really great
