Well, Nichrome has a much higher resistance than Stainless steel. If a wire has more resistance then it will heat up quicker. Pure Nichrome won't work for very well for TC thought. In theory it should work better than Kantal since there is almost always some Nickel mixed in there. Nickel is TC...
I don't know. I've for instance made more successful experiences mixing Kantal with for instance Stainless steel than mixing Stainless steel with nichrome. Most of the builds i am testing are staggerd fused claptons or simple claptons. Could have been that they dont go too well together, just...
Awesome. Thanks a lot for the input!
I handle the mixture of wire almost exactly the same. Adjust temp for flavour and the wattage for how quick I get there. have you made any experience mixing Ni80 with Ni200? I'm not a big Ni200 vaper so it would be very informative if you do :thumbs:
Thanks a lott for the tipp!
For some reason I am too stupid to read the graphs and numbers. Going to look into that some time. I have tried another coil though in my OBS Crius2. It is a split Clapton coil. .40mm SS with a .20mm Ni80 Clapton, 6 wraps (don't know how to count the fold in terms of...
So it turns out i did not look at my wire types. My bad. The helix coil was actually with a Ni80 centre wire and also helixed with Ni80. Couldn't get that going. Had the same issue that Shawn Hoefer was describing. Might be the Ni80 that is causing it to jump back to Wattage mode. I even tried...
I have just made a few helixed single coils with a 3mm Diameter at always 4 wraps. The specs are 2x .40mm twisted SS frames with a .16mm Ka waved centre wire and helixed that with some more .16mm Ka.I have just heated the coil and removed hotspots. Letting everything cool down now and will post...
I love mine, havnt had any problems with it, and I gotta say it's been through a lot. Hehe. Works great for temp control and doesn't seem to have a problem with coils that have too much Kantal or Nichrome wrapping :hubba::thumbs: I will install another coil with an SS core and wire without...
Sorry to hear that, my mod just asked me if I had put in a new coil due to the resistance not matching the old coil. I then had to push up for yes or down for no. However if I did just not press anything or hit the fire button it would bring me back to wattage mode with 20 watts. Maybe misread...
I am very surprised that you say you get errors. I havnt gotten a single error so far. Just tried the same technique with the OBS Crius2 and a .40mm SS core that was claptoned with .16mm Ka wire. Works just fine on the Reuleaux RX Gen3 Dual. Not having any problems with dry hits on this one...
Hello dear community,
I saw a thread about Temp control (TC) with mixed wires/intricate builds. Wanted to reply and sadly it was closed, so here is a new thread hopefully not in the wrong section♂️
I have seen people talk about Temp control (TC) with mixed wire types (SS, Ni80, Ni200, Ka and...
