I got myself some Ni200 for the other dna-40 I made and boy-o-boy is that some nasty stuff to work with. It's super soft and a pita to make a tight coil.

twisted builds are easier
there is also like a tempered kind of ni200 that is easier to work with. I forget exactly what they call it
we need a line-up of all your homemade builds Steve
that would be a pretty sweet family photo

That's the one I have it's Ni200 tempered. I'll try a twisted coil and see how that's to wrap
I totally agree 
I love the regulated vape. I only have 2 mec's left my Reos and I'm hanging on to them just incase we get hit by the big EMP LOL
I love the regulated vape. I only have 2 mec's left my Reos and I'm hanging on to them just incase we get hit by the big EMP LOL main reason I like regulated is the soft touch instant firing at 100% each and every time. with mechs I find that after a while I'm mashing the button harder and harder just to get it to fire at the same 100%. that and I can just build a coil, any coil, and adjust it to the wattage I want, I don't have to be so particular about the coil, anything from .4ohms to 2.4 ohms can vape equally well for me. I can build a 2 ohm coil with tons of surface area and still get a kickass vape from it at 8 or 9 volts. and it fully fires every time, no matter what. when I use mechs I wind up with finger dents and bruises
I know guys have been using Ti with good results. IIRC Rossum uses it on his GDNAs
the tempered Ni is much easier to work with and yeah, I'm a big time button masher, especially since I know the harder I press the better the contact, I wind up crushing the vape out of mechs to the point of actual black a blue bruises, no lie regulated I just need to juice it and go, don't want to have to keep cleaning and treating contacts, not an issue with reg at all

A 2-3 mm machine screw with fine thread is perfect for making a NI200 coil
You can just unscrew the screw after you mount the coil and end up with a perfect spaced coil

Trouble is there are so many grades of Ti and some of them I wouldn't vape. I'll ask Ross where he gets his from because I'm sure he really looked into it before he got it
that's why I say I might do well with a mosfet, sure I'd then have to dial in my coil but I could deal with that if it's a more compact mod I guess, although I don't find the dna chips add so much to size really, actually all my reo's are the same exact size they were as mechs so bulk isn't too much of an issue for me

Surely you didn't have that problem with the woodvils because they didn't have a mech button. You can always go that route with your mechs.
Here she is and she's up and runnin'. The reason I did another DNA-40 squonker was first of all to try and get the wife to try squonking and secondly to attempt to convince myself that regulated is the way to go in the future.
I failed dismally on both counts(I'm a mech guy and it's not gonna change)
Sorry guys I just don't get it, I know it's just pro'lly me but why mess with boards, wires, soldering etc etc just to get a vape. My latest dibie-like mech with all brass and copper contacts hits just as hard and is so much simpler to make (and a lot smaller too)
Anyway here she is. I used 3 different burls on this
Thats beautiful work.But I'm with you,I also don't get the regulated thing.I only use Reo's and find they suit me just fine.
yeah steve, the woodvils were good because of the remote switch but the switch and wiring was wimpy and inadequate to say the least, did do the job better "for me" than a straight up mech make/break at the battery though...
It's probably just me. I'm old and extremely utilitarian. I went to the doc today which is 40 minutes up the road. I topped of my Grand with juice, threw in a fresh battery and put it in my pocket and headed out the door. There is pretty much nothing that can happen that I can't fix by wiping off something on my shirt tail. If I took my DNA 40, I know it's probably just me, but I would have prepared and took my Grand along the same way as a back up. I just don't trust anything that can leave me dead in the water with no way to MacGyver something. It was a long time before I would own a car with fuel injection. I still prefer with manual windows and transmission.
ha, I'm the opposite, I'd be more likely to swap out a carburetor for fuel injection, convert from crank windows to power
An automatic transmission is perfect shifting how can you get better than that? I only had one standard car in my life, only had to get stuck in a bumper to bumper situation once to see I like automatic transmissions better. Fuel Injection is So much better! I remember carbs choke sticking, fast idle not coming off, flooding,

How the heck do you fire a dibi-sumpin with your pinky? Me, I use my thumb.when I use mechs I wind up with finger dents and bruises
I use my dibis daily, but not exclusively. The gDNAs get more miles on them.
You want Grade 1.
Given your avatar, and the fact that no US airline has A380s in their fleet, I 'm guessing you're based in Europe, not the US?
I haven't ordered from them, but there's Grade 1 titanium wire available in Germany:

Same, I don't take my DNA's out of the house, in fact I rarely use them, I just build and keep them around because it gives me licence to trash talk the little pieces of junk
I will say though...I will be getting more FETs, because one of the things I do like about the reg'd mods is the tact sw. I've built 2 FET mods now and to be sure of their reliability I've been absolutely abusing them, in my REO the FET is covered in juice I can't be bothered to wipe off (I love 510's) and it's pushing a .4 build...it just keeps on keepin' on....I may even try parallel FETS and retire my Russian Tractor Hammond deep sub box. When you think about it, at $2.50/ea. and a buck fifty tact, that's a pretty cheap, bullet proof switch
And as Turbo mentioned, with a solid state sw. the contact maintenance goes down considerably...it's about as consistent a vape you can get without a reg.
