SS430 in TC Mode - Steam Engine curve not as good as using TCR?

[mstave]

I replaced the Steam Engine Wire Wizard DNA Curve with a TCR value of 0.0014, and am getting a much more satisfying vape.

Device Monitor showed the mod hitting 500F very quickly, and provided an anemic vape.  Before changing to the TCR, I carefully checked to ensure that what was on the mod was the same as what the site showed.

Anyone have any ideas about why? or what might be happening, or had a similar experience?
