A couple things come to mind. Like others mentioned, I don't believe smok makes any ss316 or ni200 coils (temp control compatible). Resistance wire like kanthal and nichrome (ni80) should be used in wattage mode. The other thing that comes to mind, forget tc with the alien. Smok's temp control is garbage. A lot of people randomly hate smok, I'm not one of them. I used my alien for about a year, a little over 100k puffs. The paint sucked but I liked the screen, the form factor, the battery door, the fire bar. It's fine as a wattage mod.
Temp control shouldn't even be in their description. I tried it repeatedly with different coil builds, simple round wire, spaced coils, contact coils, fused claptons on a variety of rta's and rda's - not the smok subohm tanks. Using ss316L which should work well in temp control, smok's tc had two settings. 0 power and full blast. The vape would become hotter and hotter and then suddenly die off like the batteries died. Then suddenly it would ramp up way hotter than what I had it set for.
Put those same atomizers with the same coil builds in them on the vaporesso revenger in temp control, nice and smooth. Even my older istick tc100w did a much better job at regulating temp control with only a little pulsing of power. Honestly, just ignore the whole temp control thing on the alien mod. It doesn't work even when set properly and it may as well say the mod also has antilock brakes and power windows since they don't exist either.
