I also found out that SS430 has less nickel content then 304 so I think that is the one I'm going to try.
I also think that 24 would be good Dave. I think the only 28 I would ever use is Kanthal. I have a bunch of that baling wire also. Nickel, NiFe. I'm either going to go with the 24awg Ti or Unkamen which measures out at .42 so excellent fit in the old STM. Might try 24 SS430 unless I get it from Unk also.
Call 119, the dyslexia emergency number.
Just my opinion, wire-chaser: skip the SS wire. I don't think you're going to like it any more than you liked NiFe wire.
SS wire is decent but not excellent, and I believe I'm going back to titanium, which produces a better vape. It was the supposed safety of SS that made me try it, but there's a definite drop-off of vape quality compared to titanium.
I'll amend the comment I just made about SS coils in TC mode: My SS 304 coil is producing a quite satisfying and tasty vape right now, after soaking in Everclear. No, I didn't soak the coil, I soaked the user.
I'd be happy to stick 10' of SS 304 wire in an envelope and mail it to ya, Legs, if you want. I have it in 24 gauge, 26 gauge and190 proof 28 gauge.

kewl!!!
that's kewl, I think Wolfy has one of those, can't remember which mod it's on though.
speak of the devil, hiya hun. Hope you're doing good also! fine here.How is everyone ?
I was too lazy to read posts and will just assume all are good.
wow, who uses a swastika on their stuff?
Kay had been going through this for a long time, she finally upped the ohms on her coil and it made it all better.Vaping related: mu juice really sucks lately. Haven't changed anything, just the size of the bottle of flavoring I bought. Need to experiment with this and that before asking for help.
hehehe
have we been off topic yet this morning?

Anyone looking for a really fine mech. This place is clearing out their Nanos mechs for $29. They're made my MMVapors in Greece, same people who made the Poldiacs. You can't get much better then the mech's made by MMV ... they were priced a whole lot higher at the normal selling point. The downside is MMV stopped making the Poldiac's and Nanos.

I bought a set of 7 M-Tanks from FT for less than $3. Liked being able to vape a tank dry without burning up the wick.
Well yesterday I had put one of the M's on my KF 3.1 and filled 'er up with some SOB juice I'd bought from Bombvapor. After filling the tank I noticed a small crack and thought that I'd probably put too much pressure on the M while filling. Later I topped off the tank and noticed that the small crack had been joined by another much larger crack. Needless to say I quickly drained the tank and replaced the M-Tank. So I really believe that the cracks were caused by the SOB and not caused by excessive pressure. So, keep an eye on your M's.
This incident was only the second instance of a juice damaging a tank I've seen in almost 3 years of vaping. I shutter to think what a mess a tank failure could cause.

Tutu, in da past, there have been some folk that suspected a flav level diff/concentration twix volumes.
May I suggest that you 'cleanse' your palate and taste a drop of da smaller volume and, post re-cleansing, da other.
I really can't see where coil resistance/voltage/wattage would affect da flav of a known/satisfactory recipe, assuming da same flav vendor.
Good luck, sweet lady! Please keep us posted...
Thanx to Mike fer letting me know I originally posted my reply on da back porch. Not a fan of da new 'cross forum '+Quote'!
Thanks for the warning!
Jeez the weather is sure screwy. It's 55 degrees here pouring down rain and another big wind storm tomorrow. I don't ever remember weather like this in December here. They just got everything fixed from the last one. Think if it looks like it is going to happen with winds above 60 might run the motorhome up and fill it with gas and propane in the morning. We can always move into that. The ground is drenched so I'm sure more trees will go down.
For my fellow lovers of the Kanger Subtank, these Fasttech replacement tanks that enable top-filling are really excellent in my opinion, and I just ordered a second one:
$6.68 Replacement Tank Set for SUBTANK Mini Clearomizer - stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
If you don't like the tall size of this high-capacity replacement tank, just select one of the lower-capacity options. I don't think the one I got actually holds the claimed 9 ml of joose, but it definitely holds more than 7 ml. (For my first fill I carefully measured how much I was putting in.) Does require a needle tipped bottle or syringe to fill, but the advantage of not having to unscrew the base is well worth that slight additional effort.
I blow a drop or two out through the 510 connection after top-filling. If I don't, there's a little joose in the chimney that ends up in my mouth. I don't really know why; something to do with the air pressure is my best guess, but I never have fully grasped the mechanics of air pressure and vapor lock in these devices. I do, though, know that blowing a drop of joose out solves the problem.
It just occurred to me to try using the other hole in the top for filling. One hole has a red gasket of some kind and the other hole does not. I'll try using the red gasket hole next time.
Of course you could still fill from the bottom, but then you'd not be taking advantage of the best thing about these tanks.
The machining and threading are really good on the one I got, and the tank is fully interchangeable with the genuine Kanger parts of a Subtank.

It does have a long history but for most people it has been forever changed into a symbol of evil and suffering. Saying that it's time for people to get over it is cold-hearted and thoughtless.
It was a Chinese manufacturer, not sure which one. Was a year or two ago.
I'm really leaning towards it being the flavoring. Read below.
Do you mean bottle sizes? This is TFA. Never had a problem with the small glass vials, the larger plastic ones haven't been that great. One bottle was horrible. Steep, shook the daylights out of it and nuked it to no avail. Even tried to chalk it up to my taste buds suddenly getting more sensitive last summer/fall but that doesn't seem to be it either. Guess I'll order some of the small vials and try a side-by-side taste test. Thank you.
I'm not yet willing to buy into a theory that the goodness of TFA flavors ordered directly from TFA is dependent upon the size of the bottles. Then again, the only TFA flavors that I've ordered in multiple sizes from TFA are Clear Double Chocolate and Maraschino Cherry. My 120 ml bottles in plastic seem to me to be the same in strength and quality as the 6 ml bottles in glass.
