I’ve been a long time user who enjoys TC but I’ve been reading a lot of posts from people that tried it, weren’t satisfied and keep vaping on variable wattage. I’m a bit stumped by it to be honest…
Personally, I think the name TC (temperature control) doesn’t do it justice and it should really be called temperature protection. I believe Evolve (the brand of DNA chips) does call it so. Anyways, it basically acts like a protection to avoid your coil getting too hot and scorching your wick…
If you like vaping your atty at 50W for example, simply set your TC settings to 50W and apply a temperature limit that you enjoy. Most TC mods allow a temperature setting from between 180°C to 315°C (350°F-600°F) which is the range between a cool and a very hot vape. It saves you from changing your coil unnecessarily, driving up the costs of vaping and I don’t think anybody likes to get that dry hit of a lifetime.
Using TC should give you the same experience as variable wattage does but if your wick gets too dry and doesn’t cool the coil enough, the mod will limit the power delivered to the coil so you don’t get those annoying unwanted effects of burning your wick.
Obviously you have to be vaping on a metal coil that is supported by TC (Ni, Ti and SS are the most common ones), but even then, there are people who swear by VW. So here’s my question… why?
The intention of this post is just to open a discussion to understand why some people dislike TC and what reasons they have for it. Is it because TC is too fiddly? Is their mod not performing well? Do they dislike the metals used for TC or are they hard to come by? … whatever the reason is, I’m interested in your opinion If you don’t use TC but you have questions or you’re interested, feel free to throw it in the discussion as well.
I believe all people who do use TC know and appreciate all the advantages that a temperature protection offers but if you do, don’t hesitate to chip in.
