Temperature Control: The Forgotten Feature That Saves Your Lungs
Look at the menu of almost any advanced vape mod, and you will see settings like “SS,” “Ti,” “Ni,” or “TCR.” Most vapers ignore these and stay in “Wattage Mode.” But these settings unlock Temperature Control (TC), a technology designed to prevent dry hits and burnt coils. If you are a tech-savvy vaper in Sandy Springs looking to refine your experience, let the team at Paradise Vape Smoke—the most technical Vape Shop sandy springs has to offer—guide you into the world of TC.
The Problem with Wattage Mode In standard Wattage Mode, your mod delivers a constant stream of power (e.g., 60 Watts). It doesn’t know if your coil is wet or dry. If you accidentally fire it when the tank is empty, the mod happily pumps 60 Watts into dry cotton. The result? You inhale burning smoke. This is the dreaded “Dry Hit.”
How Temperature Control Works In TC Mode, you don’t set the power; you set a temperature limit (e.g., 420°F). The mod monitors the resistance of the coil thousands of times per second. As metal heats up, its resistance changes predictably. The mod uses this math to calculate the exact temperature of the coil.
The Safety Net: If the coil reaches your set limit (420°F), the mod cuts the power.
No Dry Hits: Since dry cotton burns at around 450°F+, setting your limit below that means it is physically impossible to burn your cotton. If the tank runs dry, the vapor just stops. No pain, no coughing.
The Catch: Wire Material You cannot use TC with standard Kanthal coils. You must use specific wire types:
Stainless Steel (SS): The most versatile. It works in both Wattage and TC mode.
Nickel (Ni200): Only for TC. Never use in wattage mode (it can melt/off-gas).
Titanium (Ti): Only for TC.
Consistency is King TC isn’t just about safety; it’s about consistency. In wattage mode, your first puff is cold, and your tenth puff is hot. In TC mode, every puff is exactly the temperature you like.
Long Drags: If you like taking 5-second long inhales, TC is perfect. It throttles the power up and down to keep the temp steady, whereas wattage mode would just keep getting hotter and hotter until it burned your lips.
Is it Worth It? For the casual vaper, TC might be too fiddly. But for the dripper (RDA user) or the person tired of burning coils because they forgot to refill their tank, it is a game changer.
Conclusion Most modern mods sold at Paradise Vape Smoke—like the Vaporesso Gen or GeekVape Aegis—have excellent TC chips built-in. If you want to try it, ask our staff for a pack of Stainless Steel coils for your tank. We can help you navigate the menu and set up the protection that ensures you never taste burnt cotton again.
