Quick post about the aluminum alloy electrical conductivity issue. In virtually every case, alloying elements reduce the electrical conductivity of aluminum (pure aluminum being a curious anomaly, but it's so soft as to be irrelevant). Here's a quick link to conductivities of a wide range of...

As an American metallurgical engineer, I wholeheartedly agree with your reservations about the Cera center post. But, as an advanced materials addict, the wicked sick Zirconia base and cap are just too much to resist. Ordered two. I'll let everyone know how it turns out, good or bad.
Sounds like I better order more than one, just to be safe. I really like the airflow design, although it clearly could be a major leaker if not wicked properly. I think I'll look at making an insert to support the center post slot above the wire. Hopefully they'll make a V2 with a more...
What is the big deal about the split center post on the Cera? Personally, the single wire/dual coil build looks like a PITA to me. But the split post looks pretty beefy. I don't see why it should be an issue. Problems with unstable resistance/open circuit? Can anyone elaborate?
Might score one just for dripping first. Really like the idea of a structural ceramic atty. Seeing several new bottom airflow attys the last couple of weeks. Good to see a little retro innovation.
Here's an interesting atty. The Cera Zirconia RDA. Bottom and top air. Strange two coils / one wire build. Juice well looks deep.

I'm a Junior who grew up being called by my middle name "because it's less confusing". Remember: "Junior" is the same as "V2" - the one where everything got set right.
This CAM-R is really starting to take on a life of its own: go with it.

Too cool for words! I love my Alliance Big Boy, and this one just makes me smile. Vaping should be fun, right? :thumbs:
Honestly, the small level of impurities in any grade of commercially pure titanium wire has minimal impact on its combustibility in wire form. Unless you feed it highly concentrated oxygen, there simply isn't enough surface area or local heat generation to continue the burn. Heat conducts down...
Define "incorrectly". How badly do you have to abuse Ti wire to put yourself at risk? Just curious... Because Ti is one of the most biologically benign metals on the planet. And TiO2 is an incredibly stable oxide. Exactly what do you have to do to a Ti wire coil to make it so dangerous? I simply...
PhD Metallurgical Engineer here (graduated 1984). Titanium (and Kanthal and Nickel and ...) oxidize at pretty much ANY temperature, including room temperature. They simply oxidize more rapidly and sometimes into different stoichiometric compounds at elevated temperatures and different partial...
Velocity (was) back in stock, sort of, at Avid Vaper.
At 1:03 this afternoon:
"The item you requested is back in stock! Quantities are limited, and sold on a first come first serve basis."
And now it's out of stock. Wonder where they went? Glad I've got my fill (well, except for one CAM BF...
Damn. I really didn't think anyone would do this. I respect your decision, but... damn.
Anyone else thinking about giving up their GUARANTEED spot on the CAM-M list? I'll send an un-vaped CAM Manta to the first person who replaces their name on the list with mine. And I've got a lightly-vaped...
