3 Reasons New Vapers Should Consider Temperature Control

West Coast Vape Supply

 

When it arrived, temperature control was considered by many in the community, myself included, to be a technological gimmick aimed at getting experienced vapers to buy new gear that they didn’t need.  Today, we are going to explore the concept that new users of electronic cigarettes and vaping devices should look at this as THE best way to begin their vaping journey.  Recent comments from our readers on our “Fastest Way To Kill Your Coils” post pointed out a couple of reasons why many of us have already adopted temperature control.  Let’s spend the next couple of minutes discussing why temperature control devices and coils are exactly where we need to point the soon to be ex-smokers.

[blockquote author=”Timothy Midkiff, GuideToVaping Comments” style=”2″]I ran a nautilus dry as a bone today. It’s so easy to do. I guess because I never had to pay attention to the amount of a traditional cig I had left, I don’t think of the amount of liquid that’s left…
I kind of made tc my safety control.[/blockquote]

If you don’t fully understand the concept of temperature control, you can find it outlined in our “Beginners Guide“, but the TLDR version is that it was invented to make sure that coils never got hot enough to char our wicks and create the harmful nasties that 3rd rate reporters and hack scientists love to tell the world happens every time we vape — in essence it was developed to end dry hits.


1. Vapers Forget To Fill Their Tanks

[blockquote author=”Kelli Rudd, GuideToVaping Comments” style=”2″]Another common problem I used to run into frequently that would burn up my coil quickly was forgetting to fill my tank up with juice before it ran completely out. I can’t count how many times I either wasn’t paying attention or just plain forgot about checking my juice level and took a huge draw only to get that AWFUL dry hit! Talk about GROSS!! [/blockquote]

2. New Vapers May Give It Too Much Gas

3. Temperature Control Is A Less Expensive Option

Taking into account the number of coils that new vapers may accidentally destroy, setting out with temperature control can quickly become the most cost efficient way to go.  Not only will you save time, energy and  money on replacements but they will also last longer if used correctly.  On top of that, you will use less power from your batteries (increased battery life) and spend less money on e-liquid;  controlling everything else also means you consume less juice.


There are several other reasons why we believe that temperature control is going to become an integral part of the vaping experience, generally due to Government oversight of the industry, but that is a topic of discussion for a different day.  As always, we leave the comment section open for discussion from our readers, as we are sure you have much more to add to this post.
