    Titanium wires

    Here's some google-fu for you folks (with links, to back up what I'm putting here): Kanthal (Wikipedia): For heating, resistance wire must be stable in air when hot. Kanthal FeCrAl alloy forms a protective layer of aluminum oxide (alumina).[1] Aluminium oxide is an electrical insulator but...

    OK! So I did some searching around using some google-fu (and my google-fu sucks). I'm dropping it in here for everyone also (incase someone in a different thread deletes it...) Enjoy! Sorry for the long post folks...

    Just had a chuckle remembering when I was deployed to Kandahar. There was a giant open cesspool/open air sewage treatment facility there, and we called it Poo Poo Lagoon. God help you if the wind was blowing the wrong way, because you'd know it REALLY fast. What's worse is that before I got...

    Eh... I'm not interested in welding with either kanthal or Ti wire... I want to vape on it!

    100% there with ya MKR. I'm not against Ti wire as a possibly better alternative for making coils, just against bad/no science. It's only 3% less bad for you than kanthal, but I can't tell you why right now, so just go google it.... Must be an adoption going on here!

    I just want to make sure everyone knows that I'm not downing on Ti wire as a possible resistance wire, or it being "better". My gripe/rant is someone stating that kanthal is bad to vape on, and how that individual went about not backing up their statements, just giving out unsubstantiated...

    I'm looking forward to you testing out your design and approving it. I definitely would like to see the AFC sleeve in copper to complement the copper plate on some OliveR's, so hopefully that can become a reality!

    It just doesn't sound right that someone (regardless if they make a mod or not), all of a sudden KNOWS that kanthal is BAD for you, but what they are putting out there for you to buy and make coils out of is GOOD for you. W/out verified documentation, I'll continue to run the kanthal, as I have...

    IMO, such "alarmist" claims need to be backed up with documentation, such as a MSDS. Have they linked to a MSDS for both, or some sort of scientific documentation backing up their claims? Having said that, Ti resistance wires sound interesting, and I'm curious as to how this will play out.

    Think you can do something with that DT? Click on it to make it bigger, and can save it down. Black wrinkle grand if ya got it. I'm trying to think of something funny to put in there right now LOL. Here's another one to tinker with that I think would be awesome also:

    Reo Clones?

    Here is some stuff to check out (really surprised no one posted a link to it yet) to SXD's (super_X_drifter) YT videos. Watch and LEARN from the OG microcoil inventor himself! Yes! It's true, the inventor of the microcoil is an avid REOnaut, and I think the micro's were originally built on/for...

    Well, guess its a good thing I haven't gotten my OliveR yet, can just get one of these tacked on in the shipment eh? What kind of $$ we talkin for this?

    About time, gratz! I'm sure its quite satisfying also. Regarding the Kayfuns... you know, you could always just sell them off to fund more goodies for your OliveR's... just sayin :D

    Sterno, sorry to hear about your cat, it can be rough losing a loved pet. Hopefully Oscar knew it was well loved. SFM, I'm also sorry to hear about your father passing. I hope that he did have a satisfying and full life. Ok, I'm off to hide in the shadows again for a little bit. Sent from my...

    What he said. Also, as SXD says: vape it like ya stole it. This "ew ew, I'm not gonna vape it blah blah"... FOR SHAME! That would be like buying a top of the line Shelby Mustang, just to put it in your garage to look at. Carroll Shelby would tell you to take it out and drive it hard and enjoy...
