Stainless Steel Coil?

[magicmyst]

Anyone using stainless steel coils with a ProVari? I read that resistance fluctuates with SS, and wondering if that's a problem? Did quite a bit of searching and not finding anything. If I missed it, please post a link. Thanks!

I use 430 SS on my P3s and have never had a problem. I did have a problem with the 2.5 with some fluctuation, but since I like working with SS so much more than with kanthal, I decided to just get rid of my 2.5s. I only use SS now because, if I feel like it, I can just pop the atomizer off the P3 and on to a temperature control mod and use it that way without having to rebuild the coil. Love it.

Thanks! Doesn't sound like a good option for me since all I have are 2.5s and minis.

Thanks for that. I now get SS. Cool.

I use SS 316 - yes it will flux a bit but with my cold standing resistance at 1.3 it will go up to around 1.5/6 on second/third puff but i notice only it is a bit warmer and I like that.

I just got some 316L - 28 AWG. What diameter coil and how many wraps are you doing to get that resistance?

2mm I think around 9 or 10
