Good coil wire that lasts?

[Susaz]

If you're a chain vaper try combing out the ends a little bit. It's not keeping up. What's the density of your juice? On my Zeus 70/30 is too much for chain vaping. I take one or two drags and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Do you see bubbles coming up the sides of the tank? Cotton is too tight.

My juice is 50/50. No, I usually don't see bubbles coming up. I did comb out /thin the ends. Maybe I need to do it more and make it a little loose inside the coil. Thanks

What wire do you use? Do you chain vape? How much juice per day?

Thanks

I use SS316L stainless.

You can dry burn Kanthal. Titanium creates an ashy dust and loses it's tensile strength in my experience. FWIW. Try using SS316L wire. It works in both power and TC modes. You can dry burn it and wash the ash off under a sink tap. Just remove the wick and pulse it until it glows a dull cherry red, then stick it under the tap and wipe it with a paper towel. Rewick and you are done.

After a few dry burns the wire will start to feel rough. Then, it's time for a change. I change coils once a month or when they start to feel rough.

I have been able to do this with kanthal. It looks to clean it off, and then I rewick and it tastes normal.

Are you saying it's not really cleaning it?

I may try the ss316L wire.....what is the best guage for me to get?

I still dry burn SS316L lightly from time to time to clean it. Kanthal contains Aluminum, Chromium, and Iron. There's the likelihood that metal particles could end up in the vape according to those who've tested the dry burning process.

Wire is cheap. You can replace a coil wire almost as fast as you can dry burn it.

I meant to say that you CAN dry burn Kanthal. It's Titanium that deteriorates when dry burned, at least in my experience. My one experience with dry burning Titanium resulted in a heavy coat of gray ash and the wire became flimsy and unusable.

I edited my previous post.

I ordered the OBS engine nano earlier. Anyone have any experience with that rta?

I have a couple of them and they are easy single coil builds with lots of flavor. But they are no longer made and hard or next to impossible to find for sale.

Ya, I was able to find one. Should be here Monday.

Just received my OBS engine nano and got it up and running. So far, it seems like a better option for me.

The only con I have so far is after refilling it, the excess juice that comes out of the sides after sliding the filing ring back down into place...

Any others use this tank?

Fill it VERY SLOWLY

Fill it VERY SLOWLY

I am, but it doesn't matter because there is juice in that channel already. So when I slide it back down to close it, then the juice that's in that channel seeps out once closed. Have to then wipe it off with a paper towel.

Just caught this...

You may need to close off the air flow control before opening it up to fill it. That needs to be done with certain attys.
