No Boomer, don't drink the red water!!!![]()
most of my builds are in various types of stainless steel now...it is nice to be able to have one wire around, that I can do all builds with...mech? No prob. TC? No prob.Got some SS 316l in todayso far I've built a parallel 30g .44ish ohm coil and a plain 26g .45 ohm coil. Too soon to make any real judgments. But it is noticeably easier to work with than kanthal. Doesn't "sag" as easily when initially pulsing - in fact my 26g coil saw no sag whatsoever, the most sturdy coil I've had in ages. I hope I end up preferring it to kanthal for this very reason but this just begins a series of tests to determine that...
Seems like the benefit with ramp up is due to the fact that it has a lower resistance than kanthal for the same gauge wire - hence, I can reach my desired ohm with more surface area and a thinner wire than kanthal. That's a slotherly thing![]()

I should probably check my resistance.
But I'm a rebel.
Suffice it to say, before you go making 24 gauge coils with 316L you MIGHT want to lower your nic.

I'm pretty sure that SS is murdering kanthal right now.![]()
I never would've paid it any mind if you hadn't said something. I thought all non kanthal was TC only stuff. In the words of Maynard Keenan...I'm rather enjoying it myself![]()
