How many times can you reuse the same coil?

Just to clarify, red heat in terms of what colour a metal glows at a specific temperature should be consistent between all metals for we are viewing the Electromagnetic Radiation frequencies. I do not know what the frequencies are but the frequency of yellow, as an example, does not change and remains consistent with temperature. At least that is how I understand it.

Oxidation is a reaction specific to a type of metal when exposed to certain elements, heat, water, air etc. The oxidation of some metals, depending on what is causing the oxidation, can be toxic depending on how it is consumed. Titanium Dioxide is toxic if inhaled, to what degree I have no idea, but claimed to be safe if eaten or exposed to your skin.

I have read (will share the link if I find it again) a test in where the oxidation of a specific resistive heating metal broke away while said metal was vaporizing water. There was no mention of the toxicity of said reaction but consuming this oxidation in terms of eating or exposure to the skin maybe safe, but inhaling could be toxic. Not trying to draw any correlation with vaping, but to give an example of how metals react to different environments.

In the end if we want to know the toxic levels of vaping, then multiple conclusive tests must be conducted with vaping devices across a wide range of different vaping methods. We can reference other industries, but can we draw conclusions from them? I do not vape my toaster or electric kettle.

Every metal has a distinctive color temperature signature at melting point. The color frequency spectrum shifts for each with temp change so they cannot be consistently the same at a given temp as I understand it. Accordingly why Sandvik's tables for their similar products. Consider also that they are alloys. Now understanding Well's law, black body radiation, etc. and the relative math…
gives me a headache these days. Perhaps someone with more materials knowledge can kick in to better explain this and their product differential factor.

I'm rough on coils too!

Good luck. :)
