Each to their own. It think it comes from the PWM days when you could feel the rattle in every high wattage Vape going aside from the DNA’s, but even still I’d still argue that it’s more consistent now as much as it was then.
I too ignore the numbers on the screen to an extent although starting too low on a low resistance coil in airy atty proves mostly a fruitless experience. However 100 watts feels like 100 regardless of the DNA I throw it on. If I want the same from two Voopoo Drags then it isn’t the same and each is different. The only board that comes close in consistent power production for me is the Omni, and I include the Yihi boards in that because I don’t rate them. At all.
Smoothness and consistency is what kept me vaping when I moved into drippers, and the DNA boards are the absolute best at that. I was really just making a point that you’d said that if you don’t use TC a DNA is somewhat a waste - it isn’t.
