Are you ready to take your vaping journey to new heights? Say goodbye to the limitations of Temperature Control (TC) mode and embrace the incredible world of Power Curves. As a vape enthusiast constantly exploring the latest vape gear, I rarely find time to craft my own coils using Nickel, Titanium, or Stainless Steel. Instead, I rely on the reliable and cost-effective options of Nichrome80 and Kanthal coils, which are widely used in pre-made coils and coil heads.

While Temperature Control mode may seem appealing, especially if you’re vaping with a Nichrome coil, let me debunk the myth. Yes, some chips might allow you to vape in TC mode even with the wrong coil type, but the truth is that the TC feature won’t function as intended if you manually measure the temperatures. A quality chip, like Voopoo’s Gene Chip or the Evolv DNA chip, will automatically detect incompatible coils and switch you out of TC mode for a safer vaping experience. If your mod doesn’t offer this feature, it might be time to consider an upgrade.

Now, if you’re new to vaping or if you’re familiar with Ohm’s Law but still unsure about TC mode, let’s delve into the reasons why your mod won’t work with Kanthal or Nichrome 80 coils. TC mode relies on the predictable changes in coil resistance as the wire heats up and cools down. Metals like Stainless Steel, Nickel, and Titanium exhibit significant resistance changes that can be precisely measured and used to determine and adjust the temperature during vaping.

However, Kanthal and Nichrome have such low resistance coefficients that their resistance barely changes with temperature. Consequently, they are unsuitable for TC mode. The low or negligible resistance changes of Kanthal and Nichrome coils make them ideal for regular vaping without TC mode, which is preferred by many vapers for its simplicity, stability, and safety.

But fear not! There’s an exciting alternative that can replicate the stabilizing and boosting effects of TC mode: Power Curves. Also known as Wattage Curves or Voltage Curves, this customization feature is increasingly incorporated into newer mods, specifically designed to optimize the performance of Kanthal and Nichrome coils. It’s time to unlock the full potential of your vaping experience by mastering the art of Power Curves.

So, how does Power Curve setting work? It grants you the ability to adjust your wattage output at different time intervals throughout your draw. For example, if your draw lasts 5 seconds, you can set a specific wattage for each second or even use smaller increments like 0.5 seconds to create a more detailed curve. Some mods feature touch screens or larger displays that provide graphical representations of the curve, making it even easier to fine-tune your settings.

If you’re using a mod with a 10-second draw, you may find that setting a power curve for the entire duration is excessive. In such cases, you can repeat the settings for each 5-second half or simply flatten the curve after 5 seconds if you prefer a simpler approach. Additionally, some mods with smaller screens offer the option to customize your curves using an app or an online interface, eliminating the hassle of repeated adjustments and allowing you to save your preferred curves for future use.

Now, you may wonder why you should bother with Power Curves when you have Kanthal or Nichrome coils. Let me share a few compelling reasons:

1. Maintaining a Constant Coil Temperature on Small Coils: Smaller coils with high resistance and basic wire materials tend to cool down quickly due to the continuous influx of cool juice and air. This is especially noticeable if you’re an enthusiastic vaper. By setting up a slight and steady incline in wattage
2. over the duration of your draw, you can counterbalance the cooling effect and maintain a more consistent coil temperature. This ensures that you continue to experience optimal flavor and vapor production throughout your vaping session.
3. Tailoring the Vaping Experience to Your Preferences: Power Curves allow you to personalize your vaping experience like never before. With the ability to adjust wattage at different time intervals, you can fine-tune the intensity and warmth of each puff. Whether you prefer a quick ramp-up followed by a smoother draw or a gradual increase in power for a more intense hit, the power curve setting gives you the freedom to experiment and find your perfect balance.
4. Enhancing Coil Lifespan: By customizing the power curve to match the characteristics of your coil, you can prolong its lifespan. Coils that are subjected to excessive wattage right from the start or experience sudden spikes in power are more likely to degrade faster. With a carefully crafted power curve, you can gently ramp up the wattage and avoid abrupt changes that may strain the coil. This helps in maximizing coil longevity and saving you money on frequent coil replacements.
5. Adapting to Different E-liquids and Coil Builds: Different e-liquids have varying viscosities and flavors, and certain coil builds require specific power levels to perform optimally. With Power Curves, you can adapt to these variables effortlessly. For example, thicker e-liquids might require a slightly higher initial wattage to quickly heat up the coil, while delicate flavors might benefit from a slower ramp-up to fully extract their nuances. Furthermore, if you experiment with different coil builds, such as Clapton, Alien, or Staggered Fused Clapton, you can fine-tune the power curve to match their unique heating characteristics.
6. Exploring Advanced Vaping Techniques: Power Curves open up possibilities for advanced vaping techniques, such as temperature control-like experiences with Kanthal and Nichrome coils. By carefully adjusting the power curve settings, you can mimic the gradual increase and decrease of temperature associated with TC mode. This can result in a smoother and more consistent vaping experience with enhanced control over the flavor and vapor production.
7. As you delve into the world of Power Curves, keep in mind that it’s essential to start with conservative settings and gradually adjust them to your preference. Pay attention to how the changes in wattage affect your vaping experience and make incremental modifications accordingly. Remember, the goal is to find the sweet spot that satisfies your taste buds and provides a pleasurable vaping experience.
8. So, if you’re seeking to revolutionize your vaping journey and elevate your Kanthal or Nichrome coil vaping to new heights, embrace the power of Power Curves. Unlock the full potential of your mod, customize your wattage output, and discover a world of flavor, vapor, and personalization like never before. Happy vaping!
