Hey all, bit of a stalker here. So let my first post start off with an introduction followed by a question.
I'm George, a 31(tomorrow :sadface: ) year old smoker of 19 solid years, but I normally go by EmeraldLeo1982 (same on Ps3, so add me if you wanna play something, diggin Hitman Absolution and BF3 atm). I've been vaping for about a month and I absolutely love it.
I started with the little Blu disposable ecig and after it died in about 1 hour of use I decided i had to get a real vaporizer type of solution, so I went and bought the local smoke shacks chinese ego clone with a CE4 knockoff (which i thought was a good deal at 30 bucks, boy was I wrong..). I still smoke analogs a bit, but the PV I have has reduced my habit from about 30 minute cravings to about 3-5 hours, which I'm super stoked about. I'm hoping rda and VV batt will arrive soon from fasttech, so I can setup dual micro's with this awesome kanthal ribbon I recieved from TEMco a few days ago.
So, nice to meet you all! =D Now on to my question..
I've noticed alot of coil setups on people's RDA/RBA with kanthal ribbon, glow a purpleish/pinkish color. Mine doesn't, although currently I've just got it setup as a 1.5ish (educated guess based on ohms/ft and a ruler) micro coil (wound on a paperclip) stuffed into my CE4 clearo with some doubled up cheesecloth (omg i love the cheesecloth way more then rolled up cotton, and it's like 3 bucks for a lifetime supply at walmart) running at standard ego voltages, around 3.7-4ish volts.
DISCLAIMER: Yes I know this is a semi-dangerous setup as there's various things that could go wrong and blow my face off, but I do try and monitor things as carefully as I can (making sure not to over vape my battery, watching for heat buildup, etc, atleast until I can find a multimeter to borrow from somebody, because I'm a poor .......)
But my coil only lights up to a reddish orange typical wire glow.
Now I know this isn't a major issue or anything, but I've scoured google, and ECF for a week, and can't find anything on the subject of what makes it glow purple vs red. Camera artifacts? Wattage Differences?
Any thoughts or proof on the matter would be greatly appreciated. And I'd like to apologize for my excessive use of parenthesis, it's just the way I think.. (very scattered).
