NEW YIHI SX MINI ML CLASS!
Updates it to the current level :) Glad to hear they're doing this, although a little sad it seems likely that they now won't bother adding SS/TCR to the original SX Mini M -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Yes this may well be the case. SS is currently limited by its reliance on mods with full TCR adjustment. How much that matters depends on the individual. I now have a hell of a lot of TC mods, and the proportion of SS-supporting mods is growing, but won't ever be 100% unless/until I retire... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Yeah, I'm not saying it has to be an important factor :) Just that it is a factor, and it's irrespective of the coil type. Actually it's never as bad as 25% - 10% tops with Titanium, less with other materials. It does then effect further coil adjustments - tweaking, positioning, etc. But... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
But that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying springiness does matter, regardless of what type of coils you make. Your original statement was that using contact coils "eliminates the springiness argument". I don't see how it eliminates it. The springiness argument applies in exactly the same... -
Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
Received! Serials 614 and 815, both sharks. And in terms of customs, @smokewell , it looks like they are well prepared for us foreign types :) Not only fake low value, but also "Commercial Sample". Nice. And the invoice that shows the real cost is sealed in an unmarked envelope. So I... -
Smok Koopor Mini 60w
Great news! I still haven't received my first yet - I hope tomorrow - but I already ordered a second yesterday :) At $35 a time it's very hard not just to throw it into any basket on a Chinese vendor. I look around and see all my lovely atomizers, full of lovely juice, sitting forlornly in... -
Merkava new Rebuldable Tank Atomizer by Chell
Oops I didn't see the extra page of posts! I'm still not sure to be honest? :) I guess my photo obscures all the bits we're trying to see! I'll check more closely when it is taken apart again I will say that mine was produced only a couple of weeks ago, so unless chell announced that in the... -
Merkava new Rebuldable Tank Atomizer by Chell
Err, pass? I only learnt about the Merkava recently and don't know its history. He's a photo I took last night of an in-situ coil - can you tell from this? -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Anyway, I'm off to bed now and hopefully de-lurgify and be better tomorrow. Also, tomorrow a big day for Crazy - will they magically find some NiFe down the back of the sofa? Will they claim this wire really is NiFe? Will they reply at all? Do I care any more? -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Why would it? In fact, if anything, doesn't that make it worse? When I refer to springiness I refer to wrapping wire around a rod of let's say 3.0mm, either by hand or - as I usually do - with a Kuro coiler or similar. A non-springy wire, like this SS 304, will stay exactly where you leave it... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Nice! You'll need offsets on it most likely, I do at least on mine with Titanium. Always under-heats (eg I set to 250-260°C a coil I'd set to 230-240°C on other mods.) Haven't tried the SS mode yet - it failed miserably with SS before the update (on FW 1.08), trying to use it with temp... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
I'll be doing some absolute accuracy tests with 316 and 317 and 304, as well as 430 when I get it, in the coming days/weeks. We know now that on-paper at least, it should be fine, though likely with an offset for 316/317 except on the DNA 200. -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Unkamen's deal is so great that I would say grab it while you can regardless. Based on accuracy alone, 430 is clearly superior to 316. The only question mark is the handling. It seems to lose one of 304/316/317's nice benefits, of being completely spring-less. That said, it sounds like it's... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
430 has a higher TCR, around 0.0014 at vaping temps, compared to SS316 which is around 0.0009 - lower than any TCR adjusting mod can actually do, so 0.001 is the best approximation. Therefore for 316 (and 317) a slight temperature offset will likely be required - eg setting 220°C instead of a... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
OK first tank emptied, and nice quick reduction in vapour with no dry hits and no obvious pulsing. Looking good for the wire and the Reliant. Well, more for the mod, we knew what the wire would be like :) -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
They might not be allowed to - depends on the contract. Apollo might have agreed to contribute manpower and let SXK keep the benefits, or they might have an agreement that states the Apollo improvements can't be used for future general SXK mods. Or the "Apollo guy who went to China" might be a... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Better, worse, or just different? -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Unkamen's new Stainless Steel 430, with a TCR of ~0.0014. So more sensitive/accurate than the SS we are familiar with (304, 316, 317), but seemingly at the cost of not quite as good usability as it's a little springy. -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
All right, after the disappointment of the NotFi, some new stuff. New juice (Cuttwood Sugar Drizzle) New RTA (Merkava) New TCR mod (Apollo Reliant 60W) New wire (SS 304 - the properly labelled stuff, not Crazy Wire NiFaile) 8 x 3.0mm 0.40mm wraps = 0.572Ω on SXM / 0.58Ω on Reliant. VW dry... -
Footoon Aqua FX - coil-head tank and RTA; top fill; 3ml and 5ml
Announcement on FB: Will be released next week, at a price of $50! Good price, though I suppose now we know it's (mostly) coil heads not RTA, it makes more sense.
