NEW YIHI SX MINI ML CLASS!
Oh OK, I thought it was three (excluding the power differences.) Yeah OK, a couple of feature updates. Still pretty good for that generation. -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
OK so I reckon NiFe52 should generally be fine, unless you always want 24G or thicker - or twisted of 2x26 or more. But you said you battle with small decks, so I doubt you want really thick wire? 24G x 8 x 3mm = 0.199Ω, so that's out of your range. But 26 and thicker is fine, around 0.30Ω... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
Just updated my post with a bunch more numbers - including, in theory, a much better number for Ni200. The general number used for Ni200, 0.006, is only an average across the whole possible vaping range up to 300°C. In fact at more normal vaping temperatures, such as 230°C/450°F, the TCR is... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
Which means the Reliant and SXK mods have the honour of the lowest setting on any TCR-setting mod! 0.000875 vs 0.001 on the Dicodes, Smok, and the DNA 200's single-TCR figure. (Though lower numbers are possible via DNA 200 curves.) Yeah kind of - I divided 350/40 and got 8.75 and then 600/70... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
Actually I just realised it's not offset as such, it's perfectly understandable. It's simply not 1 = 0.0001 as I assumed. So all the TCR numbers can be calculated. Let's imagine the TCR scale to be from 100 to 1000, that being 0.001 to 0.01, which is how Dicodes describe it. The Reliant/SXK... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
Yeah the setting on the SXK is 40 - the TCR is actually 0.0035, but on the Reliant it's 40 not 35. Ditto 70 not 60 for Ni200, and around 12-13 not 10 for Stainless Steel. Always slightly higher, but in increasing amounts as it goes up the scale. -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Fair enough. Don't forget the upcoming NiFe52 though. 26G, 8 x 3mm = 0.296Ω. That's not significantly low, in my view. Put it up to 28G, same sized coil, and it's 0.444Ω. What is your lower limit on resistance for your mechs/batteries? -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Yeah Crazy Wire's resistance numbers are often wrong. Use the Wire Wizard, it's far superior and has all the wires we talk about here except, currently, SS 430. Temperature offset with Stainless Steel? Hmm, untested. On my list to try. Might work. But I've heard others report that it does... -
NEW YIHI SX MINI ML CLASS!
Plenty of people paid similar or more money for DNA 40 mods which weren't upgradeable at all? We don't know whether the SXM will or won't stop getting updates when the successor is out. But SXM updates have happened, several of them, and adding new features. Of its generation it's been the... -
NEW YIHI SX MINI ML CLASS!
You're right that an upgradeable mod is only a benefit when there are upgrades, but that doesn't mean I'd not want a mod to be upgradeable! And in my view Yihi have done OK with their upgrades thus far. Several to the SX Mini M, one each to the IPV4 and IPV3 (or rather to the SX330v4s or... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Yeah if you're ordering from Unkamen anyway, it's absolutely worth a try giving it's also incredibly cheap at the moment ($5 for a huge amount, 100 feet or something? 200??) And yeah using a smaller rod works. My problem is that 3.0mm is a great size to fit in all my atomizers - using as much... -
Footoon Aqua FX - coil-head tank and RTA; top fill; 3ml and 5ml
He hasn't announced any vendors yet. Search for the Aqua SE, I suppose those are likely candidates to stock this. I got my Aqua SEs from ifancyone.co.uk. I've also seen it on Greek Mods in Germany, and a French site whose name I can't remember. It's fairly limited in availability, literally... -
Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
You should hear me at my desk. It's like those two old guys on the Muppets -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
As @f1vefour said, the resistance of SS is very good - it's the best (highest) of all the wires we talk about here. So yeah, SS sounds like a good choice for you, given you want low TCR and high resistance. That stated requirement pretty much rules out the NiFes, although they do vape VW very... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
I can recommend two: ZIVipf in Germany, great guy, huge stock of wire. Has SS 304 (called V2A) and SS 316 (V4A) in a whole bunch of sizes. Get the 304 because its TCR is a bit higher. He also has Titanium, NiFe70, and soon - most interestingly - NiFe52. V2A Stainless Steel Wire - Zivipf... -
NEW YIHI SX MINI ML CLASS!
I highly doubt it's actually a 'mode', as in a choice in the menu. Unless the user adds it as one, at least. It sounds very much like they're going to have, at the least, a configurable single TCR figure for each wire, stored by the user as presets. And quite possibly they'll replicate... -
Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
Though sadly it seems it was not to last. I just measured the Aqua SE, positive post to 510 pin (in the SE, the positive post is a single piece, rather than screwed onto a separate pole like in the v2): 0.0025Ω. Still fine. Good, in fact. But not incredible like the v2. The cost of going... -
Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
Maybe they've had them for months/years and just never sold them so wanted to get rid of them at any price. Or took a load of stock on from an out-of-business rival? Just put my two in for cleaning and have learnt two things already: There's two o-rings under the positive post? Most of my... -
NEW YIHI SX MINI ML CLASS!
Nonetheless, there are many using all sorts of non-Ni200 wires on the DNA 200, and many other mods. Titanium, Stainless Steel in various grades, NiFe in several alloys, and more theoretically possible. They have varying strengths and weaknesses, but all share one huge benefit: they're not... -
