Not Much Love For SS In TC??

[longy01]

I've noticed recently that a lot of reviewers ( especially Daniel at Dj Lsb vapes ) are now pushing more towards SS as their goto wire for temperature control. Having tried it myself, i'm still on the fence and prefer NiFe as it seems more stable to me.

The pattern on the forum seems the same, not much love for SS, due to poor sensitivity. Yet the reviewers rave about it.

What am I missing here?

Nothing probably, I can't see any great advantage to SS wire, and it's TCR response is very flat - any instability in your connection is going to throw things out on TC...

I can't see any reason to use SS over a NiFe wire. I might be missing something, but until someone can provide a convincing and reasoned explanation as to why I should be using it, I probably won't bother.

My cynical opinion is that all the hype is just because SS is relatively new, or at least widespread availability of mods that can handle SS in TC mode is a new thing.

So, not missing anything. The way some reviewers are going on, we should drop everything we are using currently, and swap to SS.

I think, even though I have a lot of respect for what Daniel does, I'll take what they say with a pinch of salts.

I struggled with titanium, got one coil out of about 20 to work relatively well but even then the flavour wasn't quite there. SS on the other hand has worked perfectly for me in tc...great flavour and vape down to a dry wick without a hint of a dry hit. Done 8 different coils now and no problems with a bonus of using wattage if I want. Current coils are 430ss , 0.18-0.22 ohms, 315f at 70J in titanium mode on an ipv3li...performing spot on.
