i just cant wait to see it in real life. if it far surpasses the ufs then that is a huge feat. the ufs is a mechanical marvel.
Kanthal has a higher heat resistance than nichrome. 32awg kanthal would take about 5 wraps to get to the 2ohm mark....give or take.
The wire mesh would be a little more difficult to use, but is possible. Hardest part would be bending the mesh without any creases. It takes a little practice, but I have been replacing the wick in CE2s for a while now with mesh. I just use a paperclip to roll the mesh, then slowly bend it in to a loop, then heat the top part of the loop red hot, then cool it off in water. Repeat the heating process 2 more times and the loop will stay in place and the mesh will be oxidized to keep the coil from shorting out. Before wrapping the coil, you put a couple of drops of liquid on the loop, and light it with a lighter, allowing the liquid to burn off. Then you are all set to wrap and vape yourself in to a blissful vapor coma!
Awesome job Imeo! I am getting more and more excited! I will not be able to get one on the first shipment unfortunately, but as soon as I can and one is available, I will have one!

What are the measurements for the final product?
I seem to recall a diameter of 21mm, which would make it wider than the GGTB that (i believe) it was designed for. My GGTB is 19.8 mm, so the Iatty will be a bit wider.

Sadly I must admit the Iatty did not interest me until these assembly videos.
What an amazing device, in every way.
Imeo youve truly tapped your creative genius.
I want to shake your hand, and say thanks, and thanks again.

Sadly I must admit that I have no friggin clue about ohms resistance and wires...Can anybody direct me to a link that explains any of this stuff? If this would come to me I'd have no idea what to do...
I do understand the relationship between Voltage resistance and watts. I don't understand how a desired resistance is achieved using the wires on the iatty.
.2 Kanthal has a resistance of 43.8 ohms a metre so 1 cm of it has a resistance of .438 ohms so 5 cm's has a resistance of 2.19 ohms, .438 times 5= 2.19 hope it helps 
The most wires have a resistance value .. (some dont) ...Lets say that you have 10 cm of a wire with a resistance of 1ohm ...So if you take a multimeter to measure the value (1 pole to the left and 1 to the right of the R) then you will see that the value of R will be 1 ohm ... If you cut the wire at the 1/2 of its length, you will measure 0.5 ohm ...That is because the value of the resistance, has connection with the lenght and the thick of the wire (R = ρx(l/s) .....l=length,s=thick)
Understood! Thank you brook. So you control the resistance by measuring out the Kanthal wire. So in the video Imeo is twisting two or three wires together. Are they all Kanthal? It seems that the more he wraps it the lesser the resistance. Shouldn't he be cutting it to get from 3.9 - 3.0 (in the 2nd "chunk")?
Is there a relationship between the conductive resistance and the tightness of the draw from an ato/cartomizer?

Imeo says that there are 2 types of wire in the Iatty Kanthal and Nickchrome of some sort, and I havent seen Imeos vid, I must have missed it.
Relationship, I cant see how resistance on the coil would effect the draw, maybe one of the real techies can step in and help here

he is using two wire types:
1) With resistance
2) Without resistance
so when he wraps more of the without resistance wire onto the with resistance wire it has the same effect as cutting the with resistance wire. The resistant part of the wire gets smaller, because now the contact points are closer together, so there is less length and less resistance.
Iatty is looking pretty nifty

Casualuser,
Think of it this way. electricity always takes the path of least resistance, so the electricity travels through nickle wire until it has to travel through the higher resistance nichrome or kanthal. The electricity only starts flowing through right at the end of where the wires are twisted together. It then travels through the resistance wire only to the point till it hits the other no resistance wire and jumps back to that. What that means is that you are only getting resistance from the section of resistance wire that is between the connections points to the no resistance wires.
I hope this helps. If you are still confused, I will try to explain differently.
