    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    Maybe, but not by design. The Koopor only supports Titanium and Ni200, with a TCR scale that only goes down to 0.004. The TCR of SS 304 is 0.001. If the Koopor is accurate, then the lowest temperature available for SS will be about 260°C / 500°F, achieved by running the coil in Titanium mode...

    Merkava new Rebuldable Tank Atomizer by Chell

    Oh OK. So I still have a mystery o-ring then! When I next dismantle I'll take a pic, maybe you guys can spot where I'm missing it from.

    Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon

    Ah that's great info, thank you! I didn't realise GB had a EU/UK warehouse. That also answers another, completely unrelated question I had - I have a package coming to me and was told it's coming "Great Britain Express", which doesn't match any courier. It's clearly coming from GB, using...

    Merkava new Rebuldable Tank Atomizer by Chell

    Ah interesting, I haven't actually vaped on it with it in yet. I'll have a go

    Merkava new Rebuldable Tank Atomizer by Chell

    Nah I think you're right that it goes there. I definitely had one left over after I dismantled, and I tried putting it just about everywhere else with no success. I just put it around the deck as you showed and it does indeed fit there loosely. I don't feel it's that necessary, as I didn't...

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    I'm not an expert on pulsing Titanium because I've never really tried- I either ultrasonic my coils clean, or else just throw them away. The best experience for pulsing Titanium comes with a TCR adjustable mod (DNA 200 chip, Dicodes chip, Apollo Reliant, mods with SXK chip, possibly Smok...

    Smok X Cube II 160watt TC Bluetooth $55.9 coupon

    That sucks if RM is taking your packages! They just don't arrive or what? Are you sure it's RM not customs - what does tracking say? Do you do EMS shipping? I've still not ordered from GB - heard just a few too many complaints/horror stories. I've placed 13 orders with FastTech, three with...

    Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support

    I just checked the other gauges as well and they all match SS 304 quite closely (though none 100% exactly) Note that they list the wire as 30, 28, 26, 24 gauge, but according to the description it's actually: 0.25mm, 0.30mm, 0.40mm, 0.50mm. This is quite common and for most gauges it's quite...

    Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support

    Is it like this (or same spool in different gauge)? Silver Stainless Steel 26 AWG Resistance Heating Wire for RBA They have several gauges of that same wire. I'll check the 26G, which lists as 5.42Ω/m. We can fairly easily check what wire that is, with reasonably good confidence: Go to...

    Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support

    Thank you Sir, it is a pleasure I assure you! Yeah 16G sounds like quite a challenge :) It's a bit late now you already ordered, but FastTech recently added wire specifically stated to be 304. Here's a list of four spools they carry: Found 4 stainless steel 304 at FastTech - Worldwide Free...

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    Yeah. It's only a quick result from my past rounds of testing so it needs proper verification. But it does fit a pattern I've seen with other mods that appear to operate differently in the dry coil situation. In this case it might also have been, rather than assuming airflow, that it had a...

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

    Wow, I didn't realise until now that there's no refinement! My first gen SXK chip in the VF had it - that was the one with no New coil question. I then just assumed my others did as well, but I just tested my Zero and sure enough, no refinement. How silly! No reason at all to remove that...

    Thanks for checking, @xxAbstrActOrxx Let's hope it's third (or is it fourth?) time's a charm.

    IPV4 preorder

    Yeah likewise. Though I only pulled my board very recently (when working on my 510 problem) and never experienced the bad charging problem. So I guess it's variable - maybe some of those boards were badly installed or something.

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    Yeah the SXM is different, certainly to the DNA 40 but possibly also to some other Ni200 mods. That's what it would be on a DNA 40 with the full Ni200 curve implemented. On a Yihi and most/all other mods, it's higher. I expect 260°F is around 380°F, but could be as high as 400°F. I vape...

    IPV4 preorder

    I also heard people saying to thoroughly clean the battery contacts as corrosion/dirt on one could cause inconsistent charging? Although that was just after the release, so they might have thought that was the problem when it was in fact the charger board.

    Oh, GB shows that? That's quite useful.

    Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support

    Although that said I am at this precise moment vaping on a 24G SS 304 coil with TCR 11, set to 240°C - 10°C higher than I usually have it. That's vaping fine. 230°C isn't bad, but does drop off a little towards the end. I need to do more testing to narrow it down.

    Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support

    Yeah it's lovely to work with, glad you're liking it I started temp testing it. The results were.. inconclusive. For a dry coil vape I found the most accurate setting was 10 or 11. 12/13 was way over temp. But for the actual vape I want it higher, as you say. So I need to do wet coil tests...
