Leaving the chimney loose ended up giving me some leaking, so I re-coiled and wicked. When I was cleaning off the base, I noticed I had a tiny little fluff ball in each of the channels. I'm thinking that when I was trying to clear the channels after putting the chimney on, I might have actually pulled some loose and stuffed them into the channels instead. It's still too early for me to tell if it's a success or not, but I managed to give myself a bit of a head rush trying to get a dry hit, so I'm hopeful!
Like it said in the comments, I guess my toaster is killing me.
I wouldn't discount the whole thing though. The comments on diacytl and "organic" flavorings have some worth.
Most (I assume) of us don't stand over our toaster breathing the fumes. I do stand in my e-coli filled bathroom and dry burn gunked coils over the sink. If the smoke is really bad I turn on the exhaust fan. (Or if I did a stinky) But that is burnt juice, not metal fumes IMO.
It's still better than smoking I think (I hope)

I follow Dr. F's research and I definately respect it and him for doing it. This aspect however concerns me not. Something is gonna kill me, doubt it is my kanthal being fired, adjusted or dry burned. And if it is... I dont care.
Death don't scare me. I deliver home oxygen and long term breathing problems is something all of us should avoid.
You may not stand over your toaster breathing fumes but the bread inside it is, and you eat it. I aint scurred
I'm going to slash my wrist. So no more rainbow colored compressed titanium coils for me? Meh. That's depressing
Now more seriously... So how do we know that the manufacturer didn't torch our wires to anneal them prior to shipping them to us? How tell apart wire that is intact on a 'molecular' level from one that isn't?
This sounds unfeasible to track. At least he said titanium doesn't seem as bad as nickel or chromium.
My question is: if a two months old titanium coil, heated up 90.000 times maintains it's exact resistivity when it was new, how the heck is metal leeching into our vape?
It was being such a great day and now they ruined it

You are correct, none of us should. We should not be inhaling anything but clean air. But here we are.
My wife has severe COPD. It's not fun.
I'm going to choose to believe the metallurgist who said it's nonsense and that metals don't have 'molecules' and that heating is doing good for the wire, not bad.
Of course I choose to do this because it makes most logical sense, and in no way because it reinforces my pre-existing beliefs and biases and tells me exactly what I want to hear. It's very important to emphasise that.
Tony, I don't think it changes anything you already knew about Titanium. Don't make it grey, before that there's no new reason to think it's harmful.
And as I said in the Titanium thread the other day - even if it is harmful, how likely is it that it's more harmful than smoking? Or even close to as harmful?
Say No to Asbestos; most other things are more likely than not to be OK, I reckon

I hear ya. My mother is in the pre oxygen stage of copd and it is killing an uncle as I type this. I smoked stinkies for over 25 years, quit for a couple 2-3 year intervals and if it wasnt for vaping I would still be smoking cigs.
For me it is the lesser of two evils.
I don't want to get in a pi**ing contest" about metals, but, to my understanding, limited as it may be, they are crystaline structures made of molecules which, in turn, are made of atoms. I certainly could be, and probably am, wrong about that but the bottom line is that some very, very, significant heat would be required to disturb those structures and their bonds.
