Why Does TC Taste Better?

[niczgreat]

I have a Cloupor GT 80 along with a Crown tank.

I just installed a SS .25Ohm Crown Coil and was vaping it in Wattage Mode.
Very unimpressive.

Then I tried it in TC Mode at a very low Temperature 270' F. It's vaping like a champ.
BTW I was at 480'F to 580'F on the .15Ohm Nickel Coil.

Is this my imagination or is TC a better vape.

Disclaimer: I'm not suggesting that anyone vape SS Coils on a system designed for Nickel Coils, it's probably inadvisable, I'm just describing my experience. If you do it then start it at a low temperature. I luckily I started it 200' F below my usual starting point. Possibly higher would have blown the coil.

TC IMO tastes better because you can control the heat. Different temperatures bring out different flavors in the vape. As for vaping the SS coils on a mod in Ni mode, it won't be able to control the temp because the TCR of SS WIRE is around .0010 -0013, where as Ni has a TCR around.0060-.0070. So you'll never hit your set temp with a SS coil in Ni mode. Ya dig?

There are a couple simple reasons in my opinion.

The cotton stays fresh/unburnt longer. Burnt(black or brown) cotton tastes nasty and smells bad after a while.

Also less burnt juice aggregates on the surface of coils, so better heat transfer and less decomposition products.

Then finally juice isn't being burnt while being aerosolized (not as much anyways as with many non-TC arrangements).

In my opinion these all contribute to a better flavor experience.

Its from the nickel bleeding into your juice creating super metallic flavor particles. /s

I like to think about it this way...

Wattage is basically power. Power in this case is used to generate heat, but we still see it as wattage.

If you had to bake bread, but you couldn't set your oven's temp; only the amount of power it takes to cook the bread. Then, you really don't have the control over the bread. Depending on how you use the power, you could burn the outside and leave the inside raw. Or you could use the power too slowly and the bread would be raw.

The better way is to let power become secondary, and use the actual thermostat in the over to regulate temp. TC is a thermostat. It gives us options in how we're using the power.

Also when liquid is heated it can cause/accelerate chemical reactions, limiting the max heat your liquid is exposed to will reduce this. You can see how liquid in the wick or in genny tanks where the hot wicks sit in the liquid darkens this is a sign that a reaction may have taken place. For me the flavour is cleaner, more like the liquid would taste from a drop on your finger and the liquid on wicks and in genny tanks stays lighter. ADV @ 380 F

When I first tried TC I taste tested with my kanthal builds and was sure kanthal and watts control was giving me better taste. Then I vaped with temp control exclusively for 6 weeks. When I tried kanthal again the temp control experience, including taste, was better so I stayed with that. I think it has a lot to do with what you get used to. I use RDA's exclusively. TC makes that a lot easier. I'm staying with TC. Since then I'm using titanium which allows me to build higher ohm coils (the build I'm vaping on at the moment is 28 guage titanium, 1.2 ohm starting resistance) and I'm liking that experience even more.

P.S. the specs say my Kangxin mini say max ohms for temp control is 1.0 ohm. 1.2 ohm exceeds that so apparently that's not the true limit.
