I’m sure you know this, but if you decide to run it in temp control you will have to switch the stock coils out. The stock kanthal coils run in wattage only, will have to switch them to stainless steel for temp control.

For those of you who have changed coils a lot. How much of a difference does the clearance/gap between the coil and the air holes underneath, make? Just wondering if a smaller or larger clearance is better for getting a good flow of hot air coming through. Or is there a particular sweet spot anyone has found?
I think I need to add more clearance because moving them closer seems to have had the opposite effect. Thought I'd ask here before I start tinkering, to save me some time.
Also, has anyone found dosing caps(preferably mesh) that fit the glow RCV 18 correctly on ali or dhgate?

Cruise mode is only available with DNA mods and the Jwei mods working with Tubo firmware or AF.
PID-like controls are available only for Tubo fw or AF mods, those controls are not so easy to use and tune. DNA mods have “self-tuning” PID and are more efficient.
I like to use mods with a single 21700 battery, rare feature for AF or Tubo.

I use the same gap as the original coils.

That's interesting because I have actually read up quite a lot about this. Have you actually used any of the quest 2.0 mod boxes? Lost Vape were known for using DNA chipsets on their mods. This is their own chipset aimed at the same target audience. All the reviews(user reviews and professional) indicate that it also has "self tuning" PID, there are apparently measurements to be found on some youtube reviews.
As for autofire/cruise mode, is not something mentioned in the reviews as being present or as being absent. You could be right about that part. I've read reviews from people who are avid users of the DNA controlled mods who say there was nothing missing though. I'd have though it would at least get mention. There is a record function, that lets you save a particular draw you liked and 'replay it' as many times as you like. Maybe that could be a work around, but it seems such an easy feature to include via software that it wouldn't make sense to leave it out and put off potential buyers. If anyone actually has one of these, any input will be welcome because I've been looking at deals on these.
The newer Axon Chipset Mods, I'm less sure about. I just know the Vaporesso Armour MAX specifically is supposed to have surprisingly good TC for the price. I woudn't be surprised if they did have some PID tuning present though, it's not propietary tech by any means and although not easy, these firms have their own experts on the R&D teams who know what they are competing against. AF was written by enthusiasts was it not?
Whatever the case with either of these chipsets, I was pretty clear that the performance wont be quite as good, they are generally much cheaper so it's kind of expected. The DNA chipset is still king for performance but they are pricey/not cheap to replace if one breaks.
I'm well are of AF. I even do my own PID settings... which takes patience but the device monitor feature in NFtoolbox is very helpful for this. I'm not too well versed with Tubo to be honest. I've been looking for a list of compatible mod boxes but can't seem to find one. Is it aimed at a different chipset to the one AF is aimed at or the the same one?
