Wattage Requirements for TC

[louiesquared]

So I have a few mechanical mods in single and dual 18650 that I use for all of my rda's. I want to get a temp control device to use with my Crown tank but I'm not sure how many watts I'll need. This device will probably never be used in wattage mode. Will 60-70 watts be enough? Will it ever use more than that in TC mode?

That is plenty. I use a Snow Wolf and Although it can do 200 in watt mode, it only does 70 in temp mode. With my Kanger SubTank and Ni200 coils, I set it at 45 watts max, and with my TCT I set it at 70. With my Rda's and Nickel builds, I usualy run it at 70 max and it doesn't spend much time there. It spends uses 70 watts to get to temp fast then stays below 40 during the hit.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the help.

The wattage really only determines how quickly your coils heat up, depending on how thick your wire is. Since the resistance on Ni200 wire is so low, you rarely use super thick wire like 22 gauge wire. In order to get the resistance high enough to where you can actually fire it in a TC mod without some ungodly number of wraps, you typically don't go lower than 26 or at the absolute lowest, 24 gauge. In my Velocity RDA, I currently have a dual coil Ni200 build made with 9 wraps of twisted 30 gauge nickel. I've got that firing at 55 watts.
