Love this! Even though our dogs are just all bark, they are our first line of home defense. Seldom does anyone get near the house without them barking and we can tell by the bark if it's something we need to check out, when a stranger gets near they go ape $**!. A guy who has rottweilers said, "If they are dumb enough to break in, I'll put a bullet in what ever is left quivering on the floor." :laugh:

So I have to ask you guys who use stainless, I ran low on ni200 so I've been using stainless for one atty on the new 60 and ni200 on my 200. I have to run the stainless 30 deg higher to get the same vape, is that normal?

ETA: I should have mentioned, I used the same build with the stainless I use all the time with the ni200

316L SS from Temco and the TFR curve (.csv) from SE play nice together. 30°f is nothing to worry about, changing juices or different attys can cause me to turn up or down 30° (even with the same build). I just make sure that when my atty runs dry I get ZERO off flavor with my set temp, all I perceive is a reduction in vapor output.
For pre-built claptons, I have found a lot of those to be "a little bit off" like that, the geek vape 316L ones seem to work pretty well though.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Talking about rebuilding mojo...One of my wife's atomizers needed a rebuild. I've been using 28 gauge but decided to try 26 gauge. Reached over, grabbed a roll of 26 gauge, wound the coils, mounted them up, wicked them up, checked resistance, completed assembly, filled it and put it back on the DNA250. Took a drag and nothing, nada, zero, zilch. What the heck? Went into device monitor and instant temperature protection. Head scratching, checking mod resistance, double check the build resistance and everything is fine but no vapor to speak of. Then the dawn came...the mod was using a profile for 316L and I grabbed T1, not SS. DUHHHH. And the build and wicking went soooo well.

I want to buy one of these, $88.95 YFTK SVA Styled 75W TC VW APV Box Mod - 1-75W / 1*18650 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping. I know I don't need it! But I would like to try some 24mm BF atty's & they wont fit on my Gdeals :( + my BF's are only 40 watts & I would also like to try some bigger build.
With the DNA 40's simple round wire build is about all I can do :(
Don't get me wrong the simple round wire builds are doing fine in my BF'ers.
I'm just looking for a bit more build & a bit more power!
I watched this review & also read a lot of other opinions online & the conciseness is this is pretty good for the money!
Have a look at the review. it's in Italian but you can put on English sub titles.
He compares it to the original & says it looks almost as good! & even that the soldering inside looks better on the clone. He does say it's just a plastic box & he likes the thereon better, but the price on it is nice!

Any one here have one? Can some one see I reason I shouldn't get it?
I was all set to get one the last sale 15% off but got the vapecig 75c instead, now I find my self still wanting it!

2nd attempt at winding fused claptons without a jig. Came out much better, although the first 40% of my "stick" was waste until I figured out tensions and angles. Used 24/30 gauge this time. This should get even easier once I get the jig.

This is cool though, every premade "bought" clapton I have ever tried never worked in TC, these do!!!

Much better Mike! Yup, I was never able to properly TC china fused claptons either.
It's definitely easier to wrap with heavier wire but the benefit of finer wrap wire is flavor (arguably of course).

DIY 26/36 fused SS claptons.
