    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    An American colleague I worked with a few years back said he could never get used to my saying "I'm going out for a ...". Or especially my asking of another colleague "Fancy a ...?"

    HCigar VT200

    My VT200 is with the delivery courier - to be delivered Monday latest, but possibly today. I haven't read the thread so a bit disconcerted to see @smokewell 's summary at the bottom of it :) Also disappointed they haven't set up Mod Resistance. It would have been very easy to measure the...

    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    Check back a page or two, Alaska described it in this thread

    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    Yeah I wondered that - but I think they do use 0.0035 for Titanium (or at least, that's their intention - accuracy is another matter) and the TCR is meant to apply only for Ni200. It's the same range as the XCube 2 provides in Ni200-only mode. And yes the screen is pretty bad. It reminds me...

    Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...

    Nope - they are crafty and forged the customs declaration. Here's my second of the two orders, where I ordered a bottle of juice as well; I received "flashlight parts" and "aromatherapy oil", total value $6: Ironically, the amount I really paid - $25 / £16 - is I think below the duty amount...

    VapeCige Vtbox200

    I'm not even sure if there is another mod. I think that "DNA 200" box they keep showing might just be a pre-production unit or something. It looks pretty identical from the front/screen panel, just with a different top panel. Regardless, I'm confident that those of us who have ordered, or...

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    Yeah I've been wondering about what a Kanthal vape achieves. My max 700°C probe will be here mid next week and I'll give it a go then.

    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    Yes it is, but apparently not for Smok. They put in a wider range for the TCR on the Smok XCube 2 and it still doesn't work right.

    SXK's self-branded TC mod - Nebula 50/60; TC with TCR adjustment; Big Screen; C/F temps

    Yeah Yihi never has - but as you say you can pick resistance at any time, which is the big advantage. I much prefer resistance-reading-on-demand, it's my preferred TC mode of operation.

    Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon

    Wow sorry to hear that, that's awful. Did you ever get any restitution? And yeah I love FT. I think their forum is quite frankly amazing - a forum provided by a for-profit vape vendor that's less controlled and censored than many for-vaper forums. It was brave of them. I suppose for a...

    The clones have indeed turned out very well - all of them. You must be very surprised

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Several of us used to. I didn't pre-flame (or torch) the wire, as I didn't have a blow torch at the time. What I did was cut slightly more than coil-length of wire, let's say 150mm, and loop it between the posts of a random old RDA which I had on a random old VW mod. Then I set it to 30W and...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    SS can be vaped at VW-type temperatures - in fact up to 900°C. That's one of its benefits over Titanium and Ni200. Other wires with this property are what we call the NiFes - nickel/iron alloys - although most of those are recommended only up to 600°C, so they're really still best suited for...

    200W Asolo TC Box Mod by Heaven Gifts

    Hey guys, so sorry for my radio silence! I got unwell for a few days after I got the Asolo, and since then I've been trying to get my test rig up and running to test things properly. I did some early testing and the results were not too good, so I wanted to be absolutely sure I was getting...

    Merkava new Rebuldable Tank Atomizer by Chell

    You did Set Resistance on the IPV4, right? I guess it could be! I definitely remember removing it from somewhere. But maybe it was around the deck, I can't remember.

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Yeah the vape should be fine - just the usability was a key benefit of SS, so with that gone its only benefit is dry burnability. Which is still very useful. Just the ideal wire has both! Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    0.00138 for now until we work out full curve data. The data sheet was re-posted yesterday by balazsk if you want to work on the curve yourself. Otherwise it should be available soon. I got my SS 430 wire today thanks to @Landman but haven't vaped it yet. I found it just as springy as he...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Check out the Smok XCube 2 thread, I've been discussing the 1.092 update for a couple of days. In brief: I have yet to achieve anything like a working SS vape with 1.092, trying multiple coils and builds that work fine on my TCR adjusting mods. At least one other user did say he had got SS...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    You won't really be able to get anything approaching TC with an SS 316 coil on a mod that only has Titanium and Ni200 modes. You need a TCR adjusting mod, such as the DNA 200, Dicodes chip, SXK chip and Apollo Reliant. Further discussing on TCR adjusting mods available in this post. Had you...
