Hey @BobC your show & tell is timely since I was coming to report or give two quick TIPS.
(1) I have shied from SS 316L since the "TC Beyond Ni 200..." settled down for reasons of reliability. Getting ready to sort and dispose of a plethora of wire types I found 200 meters of 24 awg 316L from Zivipf (Germany).
Because I trust Zivipf, absolutely, thought I'd revisit SS. 10-wrap, 3mm, came in at a ridiculously high Ω's reading, throwing my reuleaux into power mode.
Eventually I discovered I had a loose post on the SnapDragon, converted from the original (difficult to coil) posts. It's a breeze with the velocity posts. 8-wraps, 3mm, 0.26 Ω. vaping like a champ...

Fixed the post (needed proper tightening at the base) and disappeared the "won't go into TC" conundrum, made famous by a DNA 200 denier in the just mention thread.
(2) All of the DNA 40 caveats apply to the 200, namely all connections MUST be tight.

ETA: The BF pin goes back in tomorrow. [emoji41]
where's the bottle go on that setup?
