Iatty

[highvoltage69]

If your resistance was too high then you would not produce hardly any vapour and vice versa .Unless you had for example a provari .Multi meteres are cheap to buy and im sure most folks will find a use for one around the home , even if it was only for checking the continuity of a fuse .
I am more interested as to how the i-atty is going to prevent flooding the coil .

A bit like the CE2 I think, the coil is above the juice

The coil is actually "in between" (submerged in) the juice, but it's locked by that cone-shaped SS part in a way that juice gets in the ceramic bowl only through the wick. The trick is how hard you will tighten that cone part to the plastic one under it - it's kind of a juice control (the tighter - the less juice to the coil) - smart ... as far as I got it from imeo's vids

Not really as I can understand the coil can be bellow juice level as well as above depending on liquid level
The feature is bottom part have only 2 tiny holes filled with the wick actually and this will prevent coil even if juice above the coil

the no resistance wire is nickel ainako and I bought it from here: wires.co.uk - specialist in craft wire, knitted craft wire, silver wire, enamelled copper, resistance wires, stainless steel, plated wires and many more!. Its nickel 0,236mm. I also bought the SS one but its resistance was too big. It had 2,2 ohm per 7 cm!

On that site the wire you say you got states it has a resistance of 1.83 ohms per metre. Is that right? I don't understand what you mean by 'no resistance wire.' Is it because the resistance is so small it doesn't matter or am I looking at the wrong wire?

 

[eyebrook]

yes that is equal to .0183 ohms per cm , nothing at all to worry about
@ keyraw and mweb, watched the vid and now understand

I tend to agree with you on this point. It was mentioned in the vid to tightened the cone but not too much

Can I get a direct link to the product or product number? I'm only seeing Nichrome wire at 24.7 oHms/meter

Ahhh yes my friend thank you! I see that you refer to part #Ref: NI0236-050. 50 grams on .236mm nickel wire. 128 meters. Talk about a lifetime supply!!

I'm just trying to check, that might be the wrong link but I'll have to trawl through all the posts again.

that looks to be Nichrome wire at 24.7 oHms/m. I had been looking at the no resistance wire.

I thought I read that Kanthal wire lasted longer than Nichrome? The Kanthal wire I found was here

A couple of them? One for at home and one at work? Typically when I really like something I'll buy two, in case one breaks and for some reason they aren't available anymore.

Yep, I'm a boilermaker so my work one takes a beating and shows it. I like to have a mint condition one for home and out and about
