Best device for temperature control

[Scy123]

Hello, I vape a lot and like to share sometimes. The thing is the people I share with don't know a lot about vaping. I am worried they will wreak my coils, so I am looking for a mod with accurate and smooth temperature control. Money is not a concern, but I would rather not spend what I don't have to. Accurate and smooth temp control is a priority though.

I have a dna200 that was alright with temp control, but that mod is no longer working. I tried temp control on the Geekvape Aegis, but it's really erratic.

Any advice is appreciated, but please only share if you have a lot of experience with temp control and different builds for them.

just about any of the dna devices with a current material csv are very good for TC, the smoant devices are also pretty good. part of the tc equation is also having a tank with good continuity, i have had issues with some tanks that use press fit bases having iffy TC experiences (looking at you pharroa)

Most of the DNA devices are pretty good for TC, I know a lot of folks like mods that have the Yihi chip in them, might want to search for that.

Should probably buy some alcohol wipes and/or spare drip tips if you are passing your mod around. I do NOT have that tendency, and when a kiddo (well, adult but I'm older) that I'd gifted a starter setup to GRABBED my mod out of my hands and began vaping it, well, it was all I could do not to punch him in the face.

With that said I am extra cautious, a lot of my friends and acquaintances who may have interest in vaping often have pretty checkered pasts and may not have gone in to find out what illnesses they have, and even if it's the flu that someone has, I truly do not want it. I will give away a setup I won far more frequently than passing around my vape. If this is some friendly, known, or even slightly competitive process in which ya'll trade off on each other's vapes, well.... I'd still sanitize the drip tip. I know I'm also answering a question you aren't asking, but... blech.

So a Yihi chip and some alcohol wipes would be my advice. Best of luck.

I went ahead and got a dna75c mod. Would of liked to have not spent so much but guess I have to pay to play. Besides from the ohms reading a little high, it's been great. TC works really well and the mod is solid.

I don't really like to share, what i mean was more of a someone wants to try it or i'm in a car and don't want them to smoke so let them vape deal. But, yea I should be more careful around shadier people.

Having owned all the DNA's from the 30 thru the 200, for me the 75C is the best when it comes to being able to dial in the vape without Escribe.
As far as the ohms reading make sure you have a quality atty with good connections etc... and setting the thermal values in Escribe go a long way to insure the accuracy of the mods readings assuming the mod has solid connections/solder joints etc.

I have 4 75 dna's and a 250 ( well 166 actually ) and with some studying and care you can get a very good tc vape from them using E-scibe, but i tend to use my 75's most without E-scibe.
Have to add the " g" class yihi chip is awesome but i'm not smart enough to operate it properly ,,,,,.
confuses me and i lose valuable vape time ....

I can safely say TC on the dna75c is sick. I left my vape in my car in the snow. The e-liquid was obviously frozen 70vg/30pg mix. Wanted to test the temp control so I hit it like regular for 5mins. Didn't get much vapor but no dry hits and when it thawed it worked and tasted fine.

DNA mods invented TC and did all the research. Anything that doesn’t have a DNA chip is a reverse engineered bodge of varying quality. Some aren’t bad. The reason the alien got so popular is SMOK did a particularly accurate (and legally iffy) job on the chip used in that mod and it was the first two battery mod NOT made by dna that you could get reasonably useful TC out of for a reasonable price. It certainly wasn’t their quality control after all

Still however DNA chips remain the most accurate and effective boards for TC. They’re also still quite expensive though. Several companies use them and if they have a dna board in that model they generally advertise the fact.

Sorry, but are you joking? The Smok Alien did a horrible tc. It wasn't before the last firmware update that the tc on it got useable. And plenty of mods with actually ok tc were available before the Alien, long before the Alien. Some of the early DNA40 clones did perfectly useable tc, but that was with ni200 exclusively. I can't remember what my first mod that did tc was, but it might have been the Joyetech Evic VTC in a firmware update, and that one did decent tc on ss. And it must have been released at least a year before the Alien.

DNA chip is really good for TC vape. Mods with the Joyetech chips are pretty good too if you use the arctic fox firmware on them.

The consensus is the DNA's are the best for TC. What I can add to this is, TC is a bit more difficult than regular watts vaping. To get the best results the DNA's needs to be "Set Up" I mean case thermals & mod resistance. Most "good" manufactures will have this set up for you
You also need to maintain a solid connection from the 510 all the way to the coil.
The 510 needs to be clean, the atty needs to be firmly connected & your coil leads need to be tight!
After a bit of a "Learning Curve" TC vaping can be very satisfying

I am repeating what i was told by a guy who claimed to be in the industry. He was also conned by fake news into voting for trump in the election (something about Hillary Clinton and pizza, I forget) so I suppose he could be considered credulous in other ways. Were these usable tc clone mods one or two battery?

If it is TC you’re wanting, a quality DNA mod is the surest bet.
But all DNA mods are not alike.
There have been some with lousy 510, battery compartments, fire buttons, etc.

Once you decide on a DNA, check threads here and see which ones have the best comments.

Reviews, IMO, aren’t worth the electrons they are written on. I’ve got quite a collection of well reviewed mods that just don’t work sitting around here.

I am a fan of the current Vaporesso chip in the Revenger X. Does TC very well with my SS430.

One thing I’ll say (and immediately be contradicted) is get a tank with a build deck and use it. Factory coils are the bane of accurate, dependable TC vaping.

Oh, the Trump-connection makes sense [emoji16]

Some of the early DNA 40 clones I had were outright Vapor Flask clones. Two 18650s. No comparison to what's available today, and ni200 tc is far easier than ss tc. But between that first phase and the introduction of the Alien there were plenty of mods that had much better ss tc than the Alien. As for multiple-battery mods, those weren't the rule rather than the exception like today, but of the top of my head I can mention mods like the Wismec rx200, Joyetech Cuboid, and Eleaf istick tc100w. Not the most accurate ss tc (though they've all worked fine for me), but leagues better than the Alien, and available far earlier. My point is that the Alien is in no way an early ss tc-capable mod, nor did it do anything close to acceptable ss tc before the last firmware update.

The G-Class is a precision workhorse. Perfect every day the last year now. It's the only mod I use. Highly recommend.
