A lot will disagree with my selection but I find that to do TC without a hitch is go nickel wires. From what I gathered, wire coefficient is important for a good TC. The curve for SS in my opinion is really low gradient compare to nickel. Hope this input helps, happy vaping.

A lot of folks are allergic to nickel. But you are right that it has one of the best TCR values. PERSONALLY I don't like using wire of mixed metals, so my preferred wire is titanium. It's got a very good TCR for accuracy. Stainless Steel has one of the lowest depending on the grade. I've had decent luck with it in pre-built coils, and finally broke down and bought some SS wire to play with. SS main advantage is you can use it in power mode VV/VW, or TC. The biggest disadvantage to Nickle besides potential allergic reactions is the low resistance. You have to use many winds to get to your desired ohm resistance. When I first started TC vaping I bought some Nickle wire, never used it when I decided to go titanium.

HI soap, thanks for the comment, I'm fortunate not to have any form of allergy to nickel. I will try SS again in the future because when I bought mine, I got the first thing available in the market (UD's 316L - cheap and I don't recommend it). With new generation mods, it supports as low as 0.05 ohms.

How I do my coil is basically this, 3.0mm coils and the key ingredients are spaced coils and ensure it covers the width of the deck. That usually works for me.

Well, I'm not "soap", but your welcome.

That is indeed weird. My K5 is on a ProVari and I always grasp the base before opening the JFC on device. Mine is not loosey-goosey, but still turns smoothly and easily. In fact, once I get it started turning, I actually turn the ProVari while holding the K5 stationary- I count the turns by the revolutions of the firing button!

Clearly something is wrong with mine.

Today I received the Tower Tank from Steam Tuners. The height and weight is reduced and i really like the look of it.

Got the v5 today. Spent five mins looking around for the box before I realised that the little box was the v5. I thought they sent me the bellcap by mistake. Tiny box. Decided to leave the v5 in my future collection. So will leave it closed and untouched. Only event that would change my mind is an extension bellcap to 5ML+.
