Ss316l and mech mod

[Outcast]

Sorry if this is a stupid? But is 316l safe to use on a mech mod I know it works just fine in power mod on a reg mod but with the ohm charging for TC how is it on a mech.

As long as the starting resistance is safe, the wire is safe on a mech...

Over 1 ohm it doesn't change much when wet. My 1.2 goes to 1.3 on a VW mod.

In short, yes.

Running SS on a mech is the same as running the the SS in VW mode on a regulated device. The wires I wouldn't use on a mech is Ni200 and Ti.

Currently running a 23 gauge 3mm SS dual`s w/ten wraps each. = a .25-ish build/

Is berry Good. :?)

SS is superior to kanthal for mechs in my opinion.

Don't u need to work the ss on a regulated mod 1st to get the ohms to stick? So u know what ur at

I don't know if it matters but I always do. I put it on my 300, check the resistance on it (already checked the resistance on my ohm meter) and fire it to make sure everything is glowing right then wick it and get the cotton broke in. After I'm done with that I put it on my unregulated box and vape away.

Room temperature SS has a known resistance. As the temperature increases so does the resistance (slightly) in a predictable curve. This property is the basis for metals use in TC devices.
The reason (as I understand) why SS can be used in non TC devices is that range of change in resistance is sufficiently small that it can be used without TC regulation without issue. I may be wrong so someone please correct me if I am.
I like using SS in mechs because compared to kanthal it has a much lower resistance for a given mass of wire. So for a given resistance you can benefit from more surface area.
