Electric Kettle Vaping

Is there any point I wondered, hence not commenting on TC with nichrome...

I'll leave this nugget, decide for yourselves but the science is there, I doubt Chinese mass produced vape gear can handle such low resistance fluctuations (yet).

Of particular interest is this nugget

Reminds me of the days people were quite insistent that TC with Kanthal worked.

I believe this part of the discussion has moved to the General Chat section, tc beginners guide thread, just so you know

Either way, I won't be drawn any further into it and I know what I'll be vaping on for TC, others can do as they see fit

Let me say rather categorically, a dna mod is still just a mod, iow a battery with a voltage regulating chip In the old days(?), dna chips were far superior when it came to protections and precision, but proprietary chips have come a long way and evened out the field. While other manufacturers’ chips have gotten better, dna chips haven’t “evolved” much in the last few years (you may or may not get the joke). Many proprietary chips are more user friendly now, and precise enough to get the job done for many vapers. However, the only mods I would ever charge using a usb port are dna mods (I don’t anyway, but you get the point)

Why a dna mod for tc vaping? There are primarily two reasons: 1) They are extremely precise when measuring ohms/resistance. Since tc works by measuring the changes in resistance due to heat, this means that tc functions more effectively. This is also why most build on, or at least test their builds on, a dna mod. 2) Escribe is a software program for dna chips available online for downloading that lets one customize their settings. This allows for bespoke settings that can change the tcr, metal types, tfr curves, the UI, and several other functions that can give even more precision and functionality Sounds complicated, but it doesn’t need to be, you decide.

Mods with dna chips will not give a miraculously better vape, but there is a reason most tc vapers choose them

Everything I’ve said regarding dna chips goes for Dicodes and Yihi chips, as well.

I update my firmware through escribe and I did get the joke lol. Thank you for passing over all your knowledge.

I definitely agree it is best to stick with what is ‘technically’ right with anything and I’ve no doubt my setup is probably not giving me the ultimate temp control performance.

When I say ‘it’s working’ my mod is most likely not performing perfectly according to the script BUT it is giving me enough control to be able to raise and lower the temp of my coil so that what comes out of the drip tip is as good as I need. Along with the way I’m building my decks, the addition of TC has put the vape quality through the roof. Obviously I was thrown by seeing Ni80 included on the TCR chart and I’ve been fortunate that the TC function is doing what I hoped it would.

Possibly one thing which might be helping is that the mod I’m using is pretty new so the chip software is sufficiently up to date to mean that it can better handle the coil I’ve thrown at it.

Regardless of the technical rights and wrongs, as long as I keep getting such a superb vape, I’m going to change absolutely nothing with my setup until I can see a good enough reason why I think I need to.

As I said, you do you, at least you are levelheaded to understand if it goes pearshaped the likely reasons why and have the knowledge to correct it.

Thanks @John R

You clearly know way more about TC than I do so I know I've been a bit fortunate with the result I'm getting.

It's just nice to have more TC vapers on the forum, for a while it felt like it was only me and Craig that were using it... now if I could only see some people enjoying the clean taste of Titanium or the control of NiFe I'd be in heaven.

Absolutely. I think people do what is easiest for them and they have such busy lives they usually don't have the time to go too deeply into how to improve their vape.

I've been sub ohm vaping for about 5 years and it's taken me that long to learn the little downsides and figure out how to get over them. Temp control has definitely made a huge improvement with my vape and helped to avoid burning my cotton to slow down the amount of gunking so I'd certainly agree with you that more people should give TC a try.

Forgive my piggybacking but I`m only now becoming interested in TC and picking up nuggets along the way, so If I were to set TCR on my quest200 chipped mod, and set a temp and wattage, if I then install a coil that is not suited to TC, would the chip overule the tc setting and fire at the wattage that I`d set?
