Dang... That's a Lot of Nickel. I wonder if they had Fertilized to late in the Season?

Also from your Link...

"Cocoa beans, from which cocoa and chocolate are made may contain up to 10 mg/kg of nickel and are common constituents of fast-foods in India.[30]"

Pbusardo just addressed a nickle issue in his latest vid with a homerun on why it can be bad even with TC. He said he noticed he was getting a leg glowing all the time on some offset RTA's and thats exactly what will make bad things happens using nickle.. It makes sense why the flavor is bad for some and not for others. A shorted coil leg is hard to catch in these new fangled atomizers and ya think with TC on it doesn't happen but it is and you can taste it..

Meh too risky IMO but using store bought TC coils methinks is possible a better option than try building them..

Turn down the Watts, Turn down the lights and test the build.
If it is bad, you WILL see it before assembling the tank.:D
Hot Legs are an unacceptable build for use in TC or any other build.:grr:

I rate pbusardo down there with rip trippers. Any build is for advanced users only, not first timers. Kanthal, nickel, titanium or NiChrome, doesn't matter. Hot legs are bad no matter what. Test your build and you will be fine.

But on your build you see if it is wrong, store bought - not so.
It happens after initial build; you build it, it test out fine, you vape a bit and boom hot leg.. It happens on offset post atomizers more often is what he was saying, almost no way to avoid it. The guy knows his stuff if you watch his vids he has become a really good basic coiler. Actually a premiere basic coiler, his raking the coil and spacing techniques are flawless he found both techniques himself and taught us and they both are fantastic techniques..

Granted he is no twistedmesses but hardly anyone is at twistedmesses level of patience..
Twisted is blacksmith level:lol:
