From discussions on the forum and elsewhere it seems as if many people perceive temperature control as some sort of complicated process requiring all sorts of magic and fiddling with the dark arts.
The truth is the exact opposite in fact. TC is to vaping what training wheels are to cycling. @Ezekiel wrote an excellent detailed piece on the the topic here but for those just wishing to get the basics, here is a five minute crash course to get you started.
There are two reasons you may wish to use TC.
1. You want to avoid dry hits or
2. you want your coil to heat up fast but do not want to (or can not) vape at the wattage level required to do so.
Both require you to do the same things, just differently. You will set your preferred wattage and then set the maximum temperature you want to vape at. Your coils must be made from a temp sensing material like Nickel (NI200), Stainless Steel (SS316,304...) or Titanium (TI). Skipping further jargon, lets get to the how to.
How to use TC to avoid dry hits:
Select the TC mode for the wire type of your coil.
In TC mode set the wattage level to the level you usually vape at in power mode.
Set the Temp level at a level just higher than your coil would be running at at your preferred wattage by starting at a low temperature and dialing it up five degrees at a time until your vape is as you usually experience it. (You will notice the wattage remains at your preset level during the whole of the draw and does not get interrupted by the TC cutting in.)
Now when your coil runs dry, the coil will get hotter than usual and TC will stop it from heating to the point of cotton burn. Power mode with a safety net, that's all it is.
And that's that.
How to use TC to boost coil ramp-up but keep your vape cool:
Select the TC mode for the wire type of your coil.
In TC mode set the wattage level to the level where you get the desired level of ramp up speed.
Set the Temperature at the level that provides you with a vape as per your desire. Again this is accomplished by starting at a low temperature and dialing it up five degrees at a time until your vape is as you desire it.
Now your coil will be fed the wattage you dialed in until it reaches the temperature you are comfortable with and then the power will be reduced to just maintain the temperature you set it at. Now you are heating that monster coil in record time and able to take long drags without your vape getting uncomfortably hot. Protection against dry hits as in the first example free to boot.
Smiles all the way!
Having resisted the urge to go into elaborate detail, I am just going to leave you with an invitation to, once you have mastered the above, visit @Ezekiel's thread, mentioned above, and start fine tuning that setup like a pro. Its really easy once you are comfortable with the basics.
Just do it @Dietz!
