no the DNA can't do tc with kanthal. Unfortunately it looks like the jury is still out on the ohmwrecker being able to do it also. I was considering trying one for the sake of seeing what it's all about but after looking further and reading about its propensity being a pain in the ass, I'm passing on it.
I was really interested in the HW as well but from what I can tell its hit or miss. Plus the names of those menu settings, extreme, XXX, vape porn? It's like they hired the marketing team from Mountain Dew.
The. Names bug me, but it's not a deal breaker, if the mod worked as it should. If they cleaned up there qc and got it working well, I would give it a go...only to try it, then sell it. Haha
). You can also use the 430 SS in normal power mode if the mood strikes.
SS316 is barely a TC wire for its low TCR makes it less robust when it comes to the slightest connection imperfections, i was only recently been able to do TC properly with it, got my build's resistance reading to be absolutely stable down to the 0.01 ohms to the point that i no longer need to lock the base resistance and it wasn't very easy to achieve that, only then it worked, i do not believe Kanthal can be used properly in TC unless there is an actual temp sensor involved
What TCR value has worked best with that alloy? I will buy that wire soon.Just wanted to add:
If you are looking for a great TC wire to try, I've really been happy with the 430 SS I bought from Unkamen Supplies. I think the TCR is just high enough that it's working like a charm in my DNA200's. Since receiving it, I haven't used anything else. Just rebuilt a few atomizers earlier today. I'm vaping on it as I type and it's great (my DIY Vanilla Custard is really great on it - made another 240ml of that earlier today too. Been a busy day

There is only one English mod that has an actual temp sensor placed inside a ceramic heating element for use in TC, it is an unknown kit which i came across once, can't remember the name currently.
Thank you thank you!!! I gave up giving that speech a while ago.
But temperature control sounds so much better than resistance control
.
Honestly bro, it was never meant to. It was always meant to just put a ceiling on how hot your wire gets. Then people heard the term 'temp control' and tried forcing it to act like a thermostat.But temperature control sounds so much better than resistance control
In the end if your wire is what it's supposed to be, you are using the correct TCR for said wire, and your mod doesn't suck. It amounts to the same thing.

It is semantics... But before the dna200 I was always careful how I worded things...
Well, I think oven thermostat but you know what I'm saying,
Watch busardo's review of the HW. esp the cotton burn tests at the end
Because I had no interest in the original hOhm Wrecker, the v2 with Kanthal TC kinda snuck in under my radar. So I went and read a couple of threads on it here and elsewhere.
Some people whose opinions I respect are saying it is actual TC.
I was all over the Asolo thread as it was happening, and this ain't that.
Could it be as simple as having an extra couple of digits of res resolution?
That seems to be the only difference.
Others are not so lucky and there seem to be a few QC issues. And the silly practice of hOhmTech hiding the needed update files is only temporary, I hope.
Folks are going to struggle with that for a while to come.
With luck they, and Kanger with their NiCh TC, can get squared away and we'll all move forward with actual "Any wire TC".
Fingers crossed.
Totally agree, SS is a safer alloy to vape on than kanthal and it has a good TCR value to make it work well in TC under strict conditions, why are people trying all this funky tech to force kanthal to work in TC? i just don't see the value, the industry is moving in the direction of ceramic heating elements, and SS, kanthal is the past and there is no need to revisit it now with complicated chipset in order to force it into the future.
