An the replies to you - it is nickel. A truck ton of people are allergic to nickel. I always wondered if the nickel was the allergen. I know people "claim" there's nickel in Nichrome but I'm not material analyst nor a material expert, so just because it says - "This product contains nickel..." in my head, I go "yup, got it, contains nickel..." and use it anyways. Which is part of the reason I rolled to Nichrome 80. Apparently the only thing I'm allergic to is morphine... and possibly any other narcotic / drug that uses opium as a base. Just an FYI.
I'll give you two guesses
I'll go with "Idol" spelled Wrong.
And 2 "Ol" in Solution.
Did I Win?
Seems Fair to Me.
And when it comes to the Subjectiveness of Taste, seems like there Doesn't Need to be any Facts involved. Or Scientific/Medical Explanation.
A Person either Likes Something, has No Opinion, or they Don't.
Same with PG. I know Some People who tell me they Can't Handle ANY PG in their DIY e-Liquids. That the Slightest Amount makes them Sick. I don't have the Heart to tell them that the Flavors they are using are PG Based. And at 15% Flavoring, they are adding about +12% PG.
Figure it would just Freak them Out. And if they are Happy, and are Not Smoking, what is the Difference anyway?
Damn. I never win Anything.
So is a 80% Chromium/20% Nickel alloy Not Stable in contact with PG at the Temperature Ranges use by Vapers to Inhale e-Liquids?
I Hate It when that Happens.
Be sure to come Back when you can and post some links about the Stability of NiChrome 80 in a PG Solution.
Looks like the MSDS Sheets that I have Read.
Don't Breath the Fumes at Dry Burn or above Temperatures. Don't Breath Dust from Grinding.
I'm not worried about it. I don't vape at temperatures hot enough to vaporize Kanthal, and the possibility of inhaling micrograms of metal particles honestly isn't a concern. I keep my coils wet, so I really can't see how any particles could be carried in the vapor stream.
I've got roughly 2000 feet of Kanthal, Nichrome, and Ni200 wire stocked up. Based on my useage rate, that should last till I get into a good nursing home.

Then there you go. Dry burning nichrome is bad - actually dry burning anything whilst holding it to your face is bad. As residual juice and / or cotton may catch fire, fumes may be given off, or something pops off your atomizer and hits you in the face. Again, down to safety again. As far as dry burning nichrome, I don't do it. Not because of the potentially dangerous side effects, but because the wire is so soft - the less mistakes you make with it, the less likely you'll have issues with it. I always keep spaces between my coils and the posts as well as I cut my leads with flush wire cutters.
I'm a horrible shopper. I stock up on all kinds of crazy stuff. The good thing about Kanthal (unlike cans of tomato paste) is that Kanthal won't go bad!
Yeah... Breathing the Fumes of ANY Coil Alloy while Dry Burning is Bad.
But this is Really Nothing New. Any Welder or person who Cuts Metal with a Torch can tell you about Breathing Metal Fumes.
I here you.
I throw in a 50 Pack of these (or a Different Ohm) on every FT Order I do.
$2.18 Pre-Coiled Wires for RBA RDA RTA Rebuildable Atomizers (50-Pack) 50-pack - 29 AWG / 1.3ohm / 0.3mm dia. / 15*15mm leads / 6 loops at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Must have about 10 Those 50-Pack Bags laying around.
