Which wire is suitable for temperature control (TC) in e-cigarettes?
Myvapesite: Your expert for the best vaping experience
Have you ever heard of TC (Temperature Control) heard and wondered, how this mode actually works? Many vapers are unsafe, which Wires or coils (Coils) you can use them for a TC mod and exactly what the advantages are.
As e-cigarette manufacturers are constantly looking for ways, to perfect vaping, The introduction of temperature control was a real milestone. It optimizes the taste and lifespan of your coils, by intelligently controlling power based on wire material.
In this article you will learn everything about the right choice of wire for temperature-controlled vaping.
Why temperature control?? Never again “Dry Hits”
Every vaper knows the problem: The tank is almost empty, the cotton dries out, and suddenly it tastes burnt. This so-called “Dry Hit” is not just unpleasant, but also harmful.
This is where the TC mode intervenes:
- Protection against overheating: The chipset of your battery carrier recognizes immediately, if the coil gets too hot (z. B. because no more liquid flows).
- Automatic shutdown: Before the cotton burns, The mod reduces the performance or interrupts it completely.
- Constant vaping experience: TC mode acts like an autopilot, which dynamically adjusts the wattage, to maintain the temperature you set.
How does the technology work?? (The TCR value)
Not every wire is suitable for temperature control. The mod must be able to, to measure tiny changes in the resistance of the wire, while it heats up.
This happens via the Temperature coefficients of resistance (TCR). Materials such as stainless steel, Nickel and titanium change their resistance predictably, when they get hot. The chip uses this data, to calculate the current temperature of the coil and regulate it accordingly.
The best wires for TC mode
There are three main types of wires, that are compatible with temperature controlled mods. Here are their pros- and disadvantages:
1. stainless steel (SS – Stainless Steel) – The all-rounder
Stainless steel is the favorite of many vapers.
- Advantages: SS wire is extremely versatile. Due to its heat resistance and safety, it can both in Watt mode (Power-Modus) as well as in TC mode be used.
- handling: If you accidentally switch to Watt mode, nothing bad happens. It is also easy to process and is ideal for complex windings (“Fancy Coils”).
- Security: It only oxidizes at extremely high temperatures, making it very safe to inhale.
2. Nickel (Ni200) – The sensitive one
Nickel was the first wire, which was used for TC.
- Advantages: Ni200 has a very high temperature coefficient, which puts him in TC mode extremely precise might.
- Disadvantages: The resistance is very low. The wire is also very soft and difficult to wind.
- Important warning: Nickel is allowed exclusively in TC mode be steamed! Overheating in Watt mode can produce toxic oxides.
When it comes to building your own coils, I would personally remain clear from Nikel … The resistance is simply too low. And I think the wire is only so soft, to work. Plus the fact, The Nickel makes some seriously toxic oxide in the upper tempon steps, So you can only evaporate in TC mode. I have to admit, If adjusted correctly in TC, an absolute pleasure works.
3. Titan (Of) – The middle ground
Titanium offers a good balance between nickel and stainless steel.
- Advantages: It has a higher resistance than nickel and is more precise than stainless steel in TC operation.
- Disadvantages: Titanium is a very hard one, springy wire, which makes changing diapers more difficult. It is also often more expensive.
- Security: Like nickel, so should titanium only in TC mode be used, to prevent oxidation of the material.
Which wire is right for you?
Choosing the right wire depends on your experience and preferences.
- For Beginners and all, looking for flexibility, we recommend stainless steel (SS). He is safe, easy to use and forgiving of errors.
- If you maximum precision in temperature control and have experience in self-winding, could Nickel or titanium be an option.
Temperature control is a fantastic tool, to get the most out of your e-liquid and protect your coils. Try it!
