Iatty

[atavanhalen]

I have been using 30ga .999 pure fine silver as my NR wire and it works great

You can get it at 1/2oz (100') .999 US Fine Silver 30 Gauge Round DS Wire - eBay (item 400174020403 end time Aug-14-11 09:20:04 PDT)

It's 100ft so it should last a good long while and allow you lots of experimental coils. I prefer the silver to nickel because it has even lower electrical resistance and higher chemical resistance and will not leech into any of our juices.

It's a little more expensive, but it's peace of mind for me because the wife like cinnamon juices and those are very highly reactive, but don't bother the silver at all.

Cool, thanks man

Cool, thanks man

No problem. If you decide to buy some I hope you like it as much as I do

fine silver is about 7 times as expensive as the nichrome imeo uses.. (between 6-7 times)... yet i opted to buy 20 feet of it for experiments..
For my primary iAtty, i want to use Imeo's specs and nobody else's.

Lord, may i ask Did u order wick for iatty too? Or u use the one which comes with it?

 

[lorderos33]

I actually did order a 100 yard spool of the wick. It will be delivered to me tomorrow

I'm a modder it will get used for lots of projects, experiments, etc.

The fine silver is for the no resistance wire, not the resistance wire. I use 32ga kanthal grade a-1 for resistance wire. That costs me $4.50/75 meters

I am not going to say my setup is better or worse than anyone elses. It is what I like best, some may prefer it some may prefer another variation and still others will prefer Imeo's specs. Vaping is very subjective, just like smoking. That is why there are so many brands of analogs and so many brands and mods of e-cig and so many flavors of juice. In time everyone finds what they like best and it may or may not be what I like best. C'est la vie, kwim?

So, like I always say....

Happy Vaping

Oh yes, my bad. i meant "Bare Nickel Wire" and not Nichrome as I mistakenly wrote..
btw, i got the Kanthal as well.. for experiments. and i'm not a modder, haha.

The price break is quite significant if you buy 100 feet, if I remember corectly so you may want to split the cost with someone.

Wow, that is a bunch, I hope it has a long shelf life. I ordered 10 ft. Even is I use 2 inches per coil that's 60 coils. Considering I purchased atties at 5 to 10 depending on whether I was restocking or just trying some thing out. 100 yards is 300 feet or 1800 2 inch wicks. I'm not ranting on you just fascinated by the massive amount of wicking material 100 yards can actually produce.

[Repent]

As far as wick and wire, I was loaded for bear before my iAtty even arrived.

My shopping list of items to have on hand:

100YD spool of 1/16" FG wick
90 meters of Kanthal .13/.16
300 meters of .236 NR wire
300 meters of .16 resistence wire

I don't do anything half-assed

well, true.. but i'm getting the Nextel 440 (XC4-116)... it seems the better candidate after perusing the technical notebook.
Everybody else got the Nextel 312 (XC-116).

If anybody wants to go in with me, then cool. but nobody seemed interested.

 

[Dream]

LordEros33 and Repent, you guys are hardcore! I salute you!

 

[Dream]

atavanhalen, i just checked, actually there is no savings... it's a flat rate of $1.50/ft for the XC-116 (Nextel 312) and $3/ft for the XC4-116 (Nextel 440).

 

[imeothanasis]

Ok...got my O-rings per Repent's spec's and.....They fit perfectly! Spun up a new coil and....BLAMO...awesome! So far everything is great...I'll give some more feedback after i use it for a bit. But so far things are looking really good. Thank you again Repent....you may have saved the Iatty for me.

Imeo...so far thumbs up.

Full report to come.

I will wait buddy!

I have already mention that silver or gold plated wires are better for the NR wire Dream, exactly as lord said. I didnt buy them because they were too expensive. Nickel is not bad of course but those other wires are even better. Higher electrical contactivity and better attitute on liquids buddy.

What are the difference on the specs Dream? I tried to read but too many words unknown for me in english language. Can you please help me a little?

Thanks for straightening me out

XC4 has a higher continuous temperature rating
XC: 1200°C (2200°F)
XC4: 1375°C (2500°F)
& has a higher short term temperature rating
XC: 1425°C (2600°F)
XC4: 1550°C (2800°F)

and it's *stronger* as well..

Did you see the Technical Notebook? Google's Translate page might make a fun translation of the document, haha.
