what exactly is temp control?

[erin#vapoholic]

whats the difference in using temp control rather than just adjusting ur watts?

Temp control measures the temperature of the coil and doesn't let it go above whatever temp you set it to. Supposedly this way you don't get dry hits, as the coil/wick gets dryer, the temperature goes up(dry hits are hot) and the mod will stop sending power. To utilize this function you have to use Nickel or Titanium wire, which are much lower resistance than standard kanthal(I think).

ok thank you , thats helps me understand it a lil better now. but can u use it on the kanger subtank when the OCC coils are in it?

Certain metals, such as nickel or titanium, change their resistance based on temperature. By measuring this change in resistance, one can estimate the temperature of the coil and thus increase or decrease power to the coil so it stays at stable temperature.

Kanger has two different types of OCC coils for the subtank. One is a regular Kanthal that should be used with variable voltage or wattage devices. The other is Ni200, which should only be used with a temperature control setting. The reason is Ni200 coils have a much lower resistance than Kanthal, so using one in VV/VW mode would likely ruin a Ni200 OCC coil.

You would need to use the Nickel OCC coils, like these Kanger Subtank Nickel OCC coils (5 Pack)

Not the OCC with kanthal , you need the OCC with Nickel wire in them.
Look for a store that sells these = Kanger Nickel Ni200 OCC – KangerTech

This.

Also from what I read some devices/chips are better than others and you need to follow a procedure when putting on or changing atomisers.
