    Yep, SS does not develop an oxide coating as quickly, as tough as or with the electrically insulating levels of say, Kanthal. The wraps and/or core wires can short out again/later after initial pulsing. Pulling Rayon through the coil can disrupt the wraps enough to break through the weak oxide...

    Could be they're not using TC. It works fine in power mode and especially well on mechs. On mechs it gives a nice "preheat-like" boost when cool. I have some good luck using Temco 316L SS but it does drop in res and rise in res temp factor once broke in. With a new build when the vape begins...

    If the 250 is like the 200 and 75 hold the fire button and + button simultaneously to lock and unlock res. Try tightening down your grub screws just to be sure that thermal expansion/contraction hasn't loosened the coil legs. Could also be there's a faint hot spot on the coil. You didn't say...

    The resistance factor for 316L SS is approx 1.18 @ 425°f so a coil that reads .67 ohms at room temp would increase in res to approx .79 ohms at 425°f. 316L SS has a very low resistance factor as compared to other TC wire types so to get it to work all of your connections need to be clean and...

    Sorry to hear about that but don't blame yourself for any part of it. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do; if he needed reprimanding so be it. Point is, he took his life, not you. (((Mike)))

    I haven't retired my Haku, Wasp or Lush + yet. I will be ordering another VLS though!

    The smart ones aren't in prison, they're kicked back on the recliner, watching a good movie and having a great vape with their SQUONK BOX.

    By milled you mean a milled squonk hole, right?

    All I use is Sony VTC4's, 5's and 5a's. Worth every penny if obtained from a reputable source. Over 14 months of daily use on most of mine (drained no lower than 3.4v).

    Nice build @Roadtrip635 . You running that build at around 60w? How's the flavor compare to your other attys?

    Oumier VLS RDA (The vert builder's dream?)

    Got rid of the provided 3.5mm NiCr80 coils and wound up a pair of 3mm 26/36g SS fused claptons and installed them vertically in the same position as @Partspro (outside edge of coils protruding approxp 1-1.5mm past the vertical edge of the deck posts). Flavor was not as good as the original coil...

    Looks good. The flavor with the VLS is a 1/2 notch above many of my other recent rdas already but I need to experiment with some different configs. Tip: If you wind your coils the other direction (counterclockwise) it will be easier to set the vert coils further outboard. I wound my coils...

    Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2

    Likewise, I did that same a little at a time over the course of a few months. With each wicking I pulled minutely less and less into the coil until I noticed a marked decrease in wick longevity, wetness of the vapor(increase in dry-ish hits), reduction in vapor production or reduction in flavor...
