How are you liking the whole Ni200 scene, turbo? I know you're prolly running it on one of your custom DNA40 mods.
There are threads, looooong ones, discussing the pros and cons, but I'd appreciate your top level thoughts. Good? Bad? PITA?
I like it, I'm still kind of playing with it, I only have done a handful of builds with it but I use it every day side by side a dna30 feeder but different atties and setups, and I think it's pretty cool how instead of burning up a wick it just puts out less and less vapor, then when the wick is re saturated it jumps right back to pumping out the vapor. I haven't really had too much issues working with the Ni wire, mainly just using 28ga. I can get great vapor and flavor with no adverse effects and have a built in rev limiter, no more popping the wick prematurely. I think you give up a slight bit of "edge" that a kanthal build gives but I think it's a worthwhile trade off for the idiot proof protection it gives. an example is sometimes I notice vapor production being down and it not hitting well and then I realize my bottle is very low so I need to squonk harder to fill the chamber... I squonk it hard and bam, instant rich flavorful cloud. on a 30 you'd instead start to notice burning tastes as you wick scorched by being too dry.
I just set up my 2 feeders with 2 chalices both similar coils same juice but one Ni and one kanthal for a little side by side comparison so I'll see what I think side by side next few days but so far stand alone it's really cool but the edge is not quite as much, kathal throws vapor continuously with or without airflow, ni tapers down so on a longish soft draw kathal pumps more vapor and flavor than Ni. if I had to sum it up in one thought kanthal is like a razor Ni is like a butter knife
My husband did a face plant on our door leading out to the garage so been playing house nurse. Gonna do it first thing in the AM.
