My point with the camera was more along the lines of... "When Cameras became sophisticated (computerized?), they gave you an easy method to control shutter speed when in shutter priority, or Aperture size when in Aperture priority mode. The DNA 200 should behave appropriately and give you an easy method to control Wattage when in Wattage mode, AND and easy way to control Temperature when in TC mode." The current design assumes that you want to control Wattage when in both Wattage mode, AND in Temperature Control mode. That isn't true for all users, so it should be an option on a profile so users of this method don't have to jump through hoops every time they want to adjust the temp setting when in Temp Control mode.

I definitely think this should be a selectable option in Profiles because after carefully reading this thread, I've come to the conclusion that there are two different ways to use the TC mode. 1. Set wattage to max, then let TC throttle your wattage once it gets to temp. Adjust temp for more/less vapour. (pre-heat isn't too useful when using this method, as the wattage is maximum until the unit determines that the coil is at/above temp, so should probably be turned off or minimized) 2. Set TC to a temperature that will prevent dry burns. Then adjust wattage to reduce/increase vapour just as you would in regular Wattage mode. TC is more of a limiter to prevent dry burns. (With this method, Pre-heat is a huge advantage as it helps get coil to temp faster when using lower wattages) I think that method 2 is what Evolv designed the DNA 200 for, but they should make an attempt to accommodate those who use method 1. I'm in the Method 1 camp, and would like to control Temp with the up/dn buttons, rather than Wattage.

I see Wattage control vs Temperature control as being similar to Shutter Priority vs Aperture priority in Photography. In Photography, Shutter Priority is where you set the Shutter Speed, and the Aperture is adjusted by software to provide the appropriate exposure given the ASA of the film. Aperture Priority is where you set the Aperture, and software sets the Shutter speed to provide the appropriate exposure given the ASA of the film. In Vaping, when in Wattage mode, you set the Wattage, and software adjusts the voltage so that you get the right amount of current through your coil given the Resistance of the Coil. In TC mode, you set the temperature, and software adjusts the voltage so that you get the right amount of Wattage through your coil given the changing Resistance of the Coil. It wouldn't make sense to give you control of the Shutter Speed when in Aperture Priority, or control over the Aperture when in Shutter Priority. Just as it doesn't make sense to give you control over Temperature when you're in Wattage mode, or giving you control over Wattage when in Temperature Control mode. I agree that when in a "Temperature Control" mode, that "Temperature" should be the primary adjustment of the up/down buttons (Or at least an option to set this in a profile.)
