I am very happy that the most people receive the orders very fast :)
I wait of you opinion about the new titanium wires friends :)

My order came really fast ( fedex option ) as usual less then 24 hours . All perfect as expected . Thank you very much :).
I ordered also ESG , pre made, Ti wire , to give it a try . The 1,5 ohm . So first thing I did ( that was Tuesday morning ) , I built a new coil on my Pe v3 using the same bit I use to wrap my coils ( 2mm. bit , 7 wraps no R part ), just cleaned the wire with a bit of alcohol before i wrapped the coil . My ohmmeter reading is 1,4 - 1,5 ohm . Wicked with same amount of .... cotton , same juice ( 100 % flavorless VG 12 mg. nic. the only juice I use , since I found my self allergic to PG since I started vaping 2 years ago already ) . Using Pe v3 with esterigon with fully charge batt . My first impression and most noticeable was for the taste . AS i mentioned before , Im using 100% flavorless VG. I find the taste really neutral now . No more that sort of slight spicy or metallic taste I was used to ( kanthal A1 32 gauge ) . It was the kanthal giving this taste ? ( I have to add that I never torched wire for building my coils ) . The vapor production is more or less the same . The Hit is slightly better , well , it's like the nic is stronger , still my throat feels better, no harsh at all yet. I didn't change the wick yet so I can't add more for the moment . Two refills for the moment , still stable and same ohm reading .
So my first impression is 100 % positive . The only cons I'm thinking of at this moment is the wire gauge , due to the low resistance of Ti compared to kanthal . The pre made 1,5 ohm Ti wire provided is 0,18 mm. right ? I'm concerned because, I remember you mentioned that you will have Ti R only wires but thinnest will be 0,25mm . I think that for my ohm setting preference the maximum would be 0,20 mm or 32 gauge . Well ,if you could provide the 0,18 Ti R only wire Thats all I need ! :).
I have the feeling that this, is overall, a big step ahead . Thanks again . :)

With thinner wires you lose flavor. I advise you to make more wraps or bigger diameter to get your resistance with the 0.25 or even better 0.32mm

Thanks Aal .. :) I know what you mean I tried in the past with 0.32 mm. ( kanthal off coarse ) and 0,25 as well , too many wraps to reach my favorite 2 ohm setting , considering that I don't wrap coils tight mean touching coils . I like separated coil wrap , works well for me and really convenient for cleaning . Every time I change wick and wash ( max. three days ) i just wash with warm water and soap using and old tooth brush , thats my cleaning method ever since I started building my coils . So with Ti wire 0,25 mm. with half the R of Kanthal that will go to a very long coil to reach my preference ohm setting , even if i go down to 1,5 ohm which I still like . Off course the truth is that i'm no really particular about flavor , because of what I explained above , I use flavorless 100% Vg . Im used to it already and it satisfies my puffing and nic. habit . Next step will be dropping down to 6mg. nico strength . Two years since i quit analogs :) I will try any way with 0,25 Ti as soon is available , yes as you suggested I'll try wrapping with a 2,5 mm. bit instead of the 2mm. I use . Still I 'm afraid that it will take a lot of coils . thanks again :)

I understand what you mean. Why don't you try dual coils in series then. You wrap a long one then split it, bend it, this way you will get what you want. Give it a try.

Thats an idea ... Have you tried that kind of setup ? Yes I can make a 1 + 1 ohm in serie coil . Over and under set ? Amps will remain the same , but volts on R1 will be different then R2 right? :confused:

I haven't tried it but seen it before many times. I hope you have enough space. Over and under or right and left doesn't matter. Volts will be different but don't look at them as 2 separate coils. The overall power is the same. You can wick them with 1 wick and not 2. You will have a small piece of wick that is covering the non coiled wire between the two.should be fine. A guy called dice does it on the kayfun but as a vertical coil. Calls it the double barrel.

Ok , I'll give it a try tomorrow . Thanks Aal :)
