904L stainless steel

[madstabber]

Just curious if anyone has used this stuff for their coils? Noticed the uwell crown 4 will have drop-in coils that use this grade of SS. So I wondered if anyone has used it and can share what properties this grade of SS wire had. Better taste, longer lasting, easy cleaning, and so on and so forth. So if you’ve used this stuff please post your experiences.

Not that I can find. The only thing I’ve seen is Rolex uses it in their watches. I figured it was a long shot that anyone had used it. Have to see after the crown VI comes out if this stuff is my good.

It's an Unusual SS Alloy. Notice the Very High Nickel content. And the presence of Copper.

At that level of Carbon, many would Not Consider 904L a "Steel". More of a Nickel/Chromium/Iron Alloy.

Yea it a curious choice for their (Uwell) coils. I’m not sure what their reasoning was behind this. Maybe an email is the best way to get info on this. Just wondering why they think this will be a good material to use. It’s expensive and doesn’t seem like there would be any great benefit but they must’ve seen something to use it. There has to be some justification for them to pay more for this wire.

There is an Immutable Marketing Rule in Niche or Hobby Markets.

"If it is New, Unknown, and Expensive, they will Buy It."

Will 904L will be the next "Game Changer". Dunno?

I'm Happy using Invar 36 wicked with Kashmir Dryer Lint. So I'm not the best to ask.

Could you say a little more about your copper comment? I took it to mean you don't like it. Why?
