But it was the itty bittys where it took of, correct? Maybe first coined elsewhere that I missed but we adopted it for our style after that?

Yes, abstolutely!

I tried Nickel several different ways but I always got a sore throat I just got some TI wire and it is very very nice! The flavor is off the chart. a nice cool vape,Im really liking TP.

Thinkin about putting a ni200 coil in my Lemo 2. Is that the only advantage of ti wire?

 

[Bikenstein]

Wasn't it on the itty bitty (mod) thread it was first coined? As a joke, not as an insult, and we all had that lightbulb moment of "yea, I AM a tootle puffer, and proud of it!"?

Why are you askin, you were there...........

 

[jwbnyc]

whats the official word on Temp control for tootle poofers. Its sub ohm but it has to be its the nature of the wire.

That will come, imo, if the deeming regs don't throttle it in the crib.

Bikenstein, I'm still new to both Ni and Ti wire, but I've used both now and here's what I know (and think I know) so far. Ti wire is noticeably harder than Ni and the resistance per inch at the same gauge is higher. Ni is so soft that if I'm going to put a single wire into a post hole I fold the coil tail over doubling it so I have a chance the post screw doesn't cut it. It's much easier to use if you can trap the wire under a screw head. The hardness also makes a Ti coil sturdier in general comapered to Ni. The added resistance of Ti means you can use wire that's thicker than you can with Ni or make dual coil builds with 28 gauge.

The down side of Ti is most people don't dry burn it to avoid overly oxidizing it which may be a health issue and if you get it really hot (bright red) it will burn and there's no good way to extinguish it until it does it by itself. I hit a bit of Ti wire with a Bic lighter and couldn't get it to burn. It did burn using a propane torch, but it self extinguished after about 3/8" of wire was consumed.

I'm not sure I want to really fool with either now...

I hear ya, but it's the only way you're going to be able to expepriment with temperature protection. At least for now. If you're not working with TP, I say stick with Kanthal

Well I did get some nickel in the mail today. Still out there in the box. I may try it tomorrow. Thanks

What atty are you planning to use it in Bikenstein?

ETA: And what gauge is it?

I thought about my Lemo 2. It's 28g

Good choice IMO because of the screw heads. I just checked the Steam Engine coil building calculator. On a 3.5 mm pin, 9 full wraps will make a 0.14 ohm coil.

Well - It is "Your" Vapaversary, why did Ya' think I suggested it . . .
CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !
