Which wires need temperature control?

[cluttereddesk]

I've been a long time user of kanthal in all sorts of builds for years and haven't really messed around with other wire until recently. So far Ive used SS and ni80. For the sake of curiosity more than anything I'm looking at trying more.

I can't find much info regarding which wire types actually require temperature control other than ni200 and titanium. Can anyone shed any light on this as I'm eager to pull the trigger on a whole bunch of stuff to try.

There's an entire thread devoted to all the different TC wires and modes for said wires:

However, I find I am using A LOT of SS316L just because it's versatile and readily available.

I'm with Shawn on this.

Being able to run a RTA or rda in either Power Mode or in TC Mode with the Same Wire and the Same Build is a Huge Plus to me.

I can just Grab a Atomizer and Grab a mod and run it however I want.

Those are it. Ni, Ti, temp-control only; Kanthal, Nichrome, Wattage mode only; SS can go either way. I'm not aware of any other wire types that are used for vaping. Was there one in specific you were curious about?

All I use anymore is ss316l for the reason mentioned above.

Thanks for all the replys I have tried ni80 and ss316l both in power mode as I'd both were fine. I've found both for me anyway have a much nicer vape than kanthal. I was initially looking at ni200 but from what I've read it's really low in resistance and I don't really vape below .2 on a regular basis. I've seen ni90 and a whole bunch of different grade SS that I'm eager to try just to see what they vape like more than anything. Titanium is on my list to try as well.

JMO. But I thought Ni200 was a PITA to work with.

Maybe it works well in a Multi-Wire coil? But for Single Wire coils, it was too Flimsy.

Also been finding myself doing the same lately for simple builds. Very versatile and easy to work with.

The coils I use the most are fused claptons. All ss of course. It's extremely simple with the daedalus.
