Dammit, I was afraid you were going to say that I need to read the entire thread..
So, you're saying that until I get into the 80W+ range mod that I'd be hamstringing the Aromamizer?

You can use an aroma at 40 watts, just build it appropriately. You'll still enjoy it.. And it will still chuck clouds. Try some 26 ga, or twisted 28 ga, even straight 28 ga... You will be satisfied. When you upgrade and have more power on tap, build appropriately. The best thing is the ease of building And the ability to match it to your preferences!
Thanks for your input!
Okay, I just pulled the trigger. $21 at VapeNW for the 6ml version, plus some wire and cotton. Will add the rest of the winding kit in the coming weeks after the holiday spending subsides just a bit.
Now, to read this thread in entirety.. Coffee, need more coffee.

Also, congrats on the purchase. This thread ain't that bad! Should only take you an hour.

I corrected the typo for ya
One of my buddies bought a black clone off eBay, what a piece of junk! He said it was flooding a tank of juice in less than a minute. I looked at it, the lower part that the build deck screws onto had some dimensions all messed up, the deck was hitting the top of the chimney... He's sending it back. Even at 45 bucks it was worth every penny...
I couldn't pass it up on a black one for 22$.
I have three here. One from Steam Cave, One from focalecig. and one from Vapenw.
The One from Focalecig is a terrible copy. In now way is it a one to one clone. Terrible!
The on sale for 26+ one from VapeNW is Gen. It is Gen in every way. Side by side, the only way I can tell the dif. between mine and the NW I bought for my Wife, is the Ssn. Same, same!

Don't the vapenw ones have an 'H' stamped into the top of the chamber? I've wondered what's with that..
So I changed my build a little, and getting good results, but not as good as my first build was. Scratching my head on this one.
I'm back to verticals using 28ga SS430, wicking with rayon.
6&1/2 wraps on a #6 machine screw, pulling the ends to get some of the spring back from making the wraps to loose. End up around 2.75mm inner diameter.
I pulse to get anything on the wire burnt off until the wire darkens, but I do not glow the wire at all because 430 likes to deform easily. I compress the wire while it's warm, trying to move the bottoms up to leave more room to wick, but leave a little spacing between wraps still. Then I wick.
I'm getting flavor a little better than my atlantis now, but there's a lot of flavorless cloud mixed in.
I had twisted for that first build, but I simply have no room underneath the coil to rewick if I twist.
Anything else I could try to bump the flavor back up again?

Have you tried horizontal coils with one airflow hole lined up direct on a coil and the other 2 lined up on posts then covered up??
The first one I got from vapenw had H in the top part. I asked steam crave and didn't get answer. It looked all the same tho
Wanting to make the transition to the TC wire with the Aromamizer, I have some 24G titanium and some 22G and 28G 430 SS that I am considering.
The titanium is more intriguing to me but I have never vaped below 0.25 ohm and am a little paranoid about battery safety. I have an XCube 2 with some Samsung 25R Green Batteries... should be ok... I think the concern for super low ohms is primarily for Mech Mods where you need to be extra careful going below 0.2 ohm... There is also the Ti02 although im told thats not much of an issue as long as you dont see white powdery substance on the coils.
The 430 Stainless Steel on the other hand is supposed to be the best grade of SS for TC Vaping. Suppose SS would be the safer choice knowing very little about TC and maybe work my way up to Titanium... but let me know what wire you would try first.

Some things to help you decide:
Most TC builds are below .25 ohms. No need to worry, the mod limits current so no danger of batts venting.
Higher RES tc builds are more accurate
Higher TCR wire is more accurate.
430SS works good but is a little weaker than Ti and is easily deformed when rewicking. 430ss can be dryburned at high temps.
Ti works good but can be springy and more difficult to wind. Pretorching the wire to a blue color helps with that. Ti dioxide is easily washed off with water and will not form on the wire at all if dryburned at low power.
To start with TC I would recommend a single coil tc build in an atty you're familiar with.

The 430 is pretty good, a lot of people recommend annealing it first to take some of the springiness out. I find twisting it works just as well to counteract spring. It can also deform when dry burning.
317L SS is a lot easier to work with, and is highly corrosion resistant. It's TCR is lower, but still usable for TC.
The latest thing people are talking about is NiFe, supposed to be the best of all worlds.
The big TC wire thread has a lot more info.
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
