Titanium wire, vaping and safety
Correct, CW's metric 0.4mm is actually 0.39mm, whereas Unkamen's is in American 26G which is 0.405mm. The resistance of CW's will therefore be slightly higher as it's fractionally thinner. A quick tally of the sizes I can remember: ZiVipf: listed as 0.39, actually 0.39 Crazy Wire: listed as... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Updates/Summary on NiFe availability: NiFe52: ZiVipf: Thomas said he thinks it takes 14 days from order to arrive to him. Order was placed 28th August, so hopefully the ETA for the NiFe52 is around September 11th, 8 days from now. He's going to send it to me as soon as he gets it, so... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
I posted these numbers a couple of days back, see below. I compared 29G Resistherm, Kanthal NiFe70 and Kanthal NiFe52 at the end of the post, and higher up I compared NiFe70 and NiFe52 in more usual/higher gauges. Conclusion: NiFe52's resistance is very slightly higher than Resistherm's... -

It's got an ETA now, I'm confident it'll ship on the new ETA :) Albeit a shame that's 11 days away! -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
Yeah fair enough. It's not something I've ever specifically tested, it just seems correct based on theory - and matches what Dicodes stated. I'll see some time if I can see it in practice on the oscilloscope, it'd be interesting to have some data to use in the discussions on Ni200 vs Not Ni200. -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
Sure. And on a TC mod, it will be set higher, by the mod, to reach a given temperature. My original statement was "Higher the ohms, lower the power, and therefore yes the better the battery life." - I understand that that might have read like I meant it generically, but I didn't. I meant it... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
I understand. Fingers crossed they've improved it - it was definitely a partnership between SXK and Apollo, and we know they've added things like Mech Mode. So good chance they also insisted on a better vape and/or SXK have already improved that themselves. -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Guys, I have some doubts about Steam Engine's Titanium TCR as well. I haven't tried it on a DNA 200. But I noticed on the Wire Wizard page that it shows the TCR at vaping temperature as 0.00369. But I have temperature measured on the Dicodes at 420-350 (0.0042 down to 0.0035) and hit exact... -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
But we are very much not comparing .1 of Titanium to .1 of Ni200 - people don't (or shouldn't) build to a resistance, they build a given coil that works in a given atomizer! That's the whole point - that a given coil will be of a higher resistance of Titanium than it is of Ni200, which is the... -
200W Asolo TC Box Mod by Heaven Gifts
Presumably not having to get up at 3am would help a lot! That's brutal :(- TheBloke

TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Ah fair enough I bought some 304 recently but have not got around to trying it. -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
Which appears to be a benefit unique to Titanium - the mass of Stainless Steel 317 and Resistherm NiFe30 are all very similar to Ni200 (though still a little lower); so they still have the resistance benefit, but not also the huge mass benefit. Titanium is the exception, at approximately half... -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
And something I didn't even realise, it appears that the Ni200 coil in the above example also has double the mass of Titanium - so it's an even greater benefit! According to Wire Wizard, the mass of the 8x3mm 28G Ni200 coil is 69.49 mg, compared to the mass of the equivalent Titanium coil... -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
Right, but we're not comparing the same wire - we're comparing two different wires, to make the point that higher resistance wires are better than lower resistance wires because they use less power/battery (amongst other benefits). 8 x 3mm wraps of 28G Ni200 will be 0.115Ω 8 x 3mm wraps of 28G... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
I'll have one fairly soon and will do a full analysis PS. I was right, the chip was made "in conjunction with" SXK :D The TCR scale matching, and some other similarities, was no coincidence. -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Do we know this is true also on later SXK mods? On my first/second batch SXKs, with the low resistance issue, I have to do this. But later batches have fixed resistance, so I was thinking it would now be an accurate NP setting? Anyway the range is theoretically 0.001 - 0.01 but with some... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Yes I am But I will bet my entire table of mods that it's 10 - 100 / 0.001 -> 0.01 :) Same as the earlier SXKs, and same as another mod we recently discussed. -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
It's new and updated. It has a menu with choice of VW/Ni/Titanium, and also still has 'Nickel/Titanium Purity' TCR setting. Which I keep telling them they should properly call TCR, but no luck so far.. Good price, too. -
Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon
Yeah go for FastTech - it doesn't have built in batteries so it will ship on the fastest routes. I have ordered my Smok Koopor from FT. (But $112 is an especially bad price, I paid $90 in the UK for mine and we normally pay more than most places in the world. And I've seen it listed some... -
SXK's self-branded TC mod - Nebula 50/60; TC with TCR adjustment; Big Screen; C/F temps
Yeah mine was literally one of the first handful of units, serial number 001 (although there's some suggestion there were multiple 001s) Yes I do have the low resistance issue, as do all my SXK units. I don't know how to describe my finish, it just feels like metal. The most noticeable thing...
