Hi everyone, I am a new member to ecf. My name is American druggist I quit smoking about 8 years ago but I found I needed something to take away my craving for cigarettes. I started vaping about a year ago and fell in love with it. I currently have about 6,,,, different mods that I use frequently. I hope to get some answers 2 questions I have about coils and vaping in general. I'm glad to be a new member 2 Ecf., by the way I make my own e-liquid

Don't make a mistake & use in power mode.
It was the wire of choice when TC was 1st introduced..

Yes it's safe in Temperature Control mode, however if you have a severe nickel allergy there may be some complications, mild nickel allergy is fine.
whatever tastes good to you/doesn't burn your cotton, our devices won't get hot enough to melt it so no worries...
Nickel Ni200 should only be vaped with a mod that does Temperature Control (TC), same with Titanium Ti1. These 2 exotic metals if set in TC mode wrong or not on TC mode can lead to Nickel or Titanium Dioxide poisoning. On a TC mod with Ni200 I would set the TC cap to below 500F, being so soft the closer you get to about 600 to 700F Nickel deteriorates and enters the vapor stream. Ti1 is a bit safer with a higher temp threshold before Titanium Dioxide forms on the outside of the wire and enters the vapor stream, staying below 550F for Ti1 is suggested.
Going to use TC mode, I like many suggest Stainless Steel (SS) wire over Ni200 and Ti1. Stainless wire is the only wire that can be used in either TC or regular Power Mode. If you are buying pre-made coil heads that only offer Ni200 for TC mode, I'd suggest the settings of about 25 to 35watts and TC cap of about 400 to 480F. Ti1 coil heads about 35 to 45watts with a TC range of 400 to 550F.
Welcome and glad you joined.
Most of us love to help. Please ask away. Could check out are search function in upper right hand corner.
Can you supply any reference material to support these claims?
For example what does Nickel (a stable element) deteriorate into?
I think this is just internet nonsense repeated so often it is accepted as true.
I agree withya Woofer... TiO2 is a very stable non toxic chemical. But it can cause breathing issues when enuf of it is inhaled ( its more of a dust problem than a toxic issue)... as far as Ni, yup some people can react to it via an allergy... but Ni is one of the 4 main metals in surgical steel ( implants/internal supports). And for Ni to become an issue by combining with other materials/elements, the coil would have to be heated to a near melting point... a temp that would destroy a wick...
