So if it is metric it is a grub screw, if SAE threads it is a set screw?
I know nothing!!! :)
Actually, English don't use metric measurements. They use miles just like us peonz. :)

I think they use metric threads and litres, etc.
But they drive on the WRONG side of the road.

And don't forget the British Whitworth standards for tools and screw threads.

I ran into the Wentworth stuff many years ago working on an old MG or some such. What a pain in the buttowski.

And they also value their money by weight.

Well I just rewicked my first Ti coil. Hot water and a toothbrush cleaned up like new wick looked great but I could tell it was ready. No burning not even a discoloration. This one had about 25 tankfuls through it in 3 weeks came out the same resistance as new and tastes as good as new. For a TC coil I am definately sold. The coil was a gold color after that long.

I haven't got any Ti wire, yet. I do have some 30ga Ni200 and will soon be trying my hand at using it for a coil. I always twist my Kanthal with a drill to make it a bit easier to handle. Does anyone know if it will harm the Ni200 to do the same with it prior to making a coil?

No, if you're a British sympathizer it's a grub screw but in the real world it's a set screw.

You can tell a woman she looks like a million dollars but it's not recommended you tell a woman she looks like a million pounds. Ba-da-bump.

OK. Where are the other third of my flavorings?!

I thought I was getting all the DIY stuff organized, until I noticed it's not all here. Where, oh, where could the rest of the flavorings be?

ETA: Whew! Found them in the second to the last box out of all the boxes in my room and the bathroom. It was with the juices instead of the flavorings.

That'll teach me to be so careless about where I put things.

All is well.

All my flavorings organized by type. It's a work of art! (Yes, I do get overly excited about organization and containers for organization.)

I do too, and I'd be very organized if I'd just quit buying more stuff. :(

Well I did the same with Kanthal but when I tried it with nickel it left sort of an uneven wire. You really don't need to do it with standard nickel it is soft enough to not need the straightening method. I just hand wrapped mine and scrunch it together coming out with an nicely spaced coil.

Also I think with nickel especially 30awg you would stand a good chance of breaking it it is very soft. You can just straighten it with your hands. Very different from Kanthal and even more so with Ti.
