Wrap it, cinch it down, temper it, wick it. Mindless task. What a relief!One of the reasons I stay with singles, same gauge, same turns, same leg length, consistent.

Then I go on to things which require deep thought.
That's not lazy. That's economy of action. I use single coils because there's nothing I could do to make a better vape.One of the reasons I stay with singles, same gauge, same turns, same leg length, consistent.

That said, the 27 gauge Kanthal coil I made two days ago was giving me burnt taste. The coil was strangling the Muji cotton wick. So, I took it out and tossed it after a couple of attempts to trim down the wick after-the-fact.
I upped my coil size to 3 mm, used 26 gauge Kanthal, 3.5 wraps, 0.57 ohms. Simple, beautiful and tasty as can be.
No tempering or pulsing, as usual. Tastes so good I had to open it up to take a picture. Child's play for some of you, I know, but would be impossible for me without my CoilMaster jig that makes it so easy.
You probably are, but make sure you're getting the coil to where it lines up with the air hole, and make sure that when the atty is on the reo that the air hole is pointing up when you tilt it back to vape, not pointing toward the fire button. Orings can help with both of these issues, and if this doesn't make sense, come in the h/o when you have time, and I can explain it better, or scott or amy can. also what kenna pointed out about the wick is true. Don't need much wick, just enough to touch the deck, but not so much it blocks the squonk hole.
You go girl!!!
it will take longer for sure, I did a couple twisted 30g but really didn't find much difference in flavor. One thing, are you making sure you cue the coil......running the rod through it or lightly raking a screwdriver or something over the top of it? That helps with heating up better.
jup if it works for you why bother with anything else. I find I get more throat hit and more flavor with duals, so I like them better than single. 30g 8/9 wraps with my coil jig, comes to about 1.3 pretty consistently.LOL. Just one, thanks.
Oh, well. I was hoping you had the 'secret' to keeping it all organized. You surely must have more rebuildable stuff than I do.
But, I'm working on it. I have 'stuff' in all kinds of nooks and crannies from when I was sharing a bedroom in the other apartment. So, I'm slowly pulling all the little containers, bowls, and drawers out to see what stuff I can find (all mixed together).
Oh, I did find the top cap and glass tank to my Lancia. They were in one of my bowls where I dump things I've already cleaned but haven't put away yet (to make room for cleaning more stuff). At first, I couldn't find the rest of the Lancia stuff that I had earlier. But, I found that too. I had left it sitting out in an odd place so it would be handy when I found the missing parts.
Must get organized! Above all, must put all the odds'n'ends away. I no longer need to put things away quickly because of little kids. I have my own room now!
Does anyone happen to know who made the Teminator-C? They don't make them anymore. And, back in the days when they did, clone manufacturers weren't generally known by name (Tobeco, EHPro, and such).
Was it only one manufacturer, several, or unknown?

This guy, , got his from Stormy's Vapor Cellar, maybe they could tell you if nobody else can come up with the answer.
Thats the weird thing about Ti the shiny stuff actually vapes better after it gets a little build up usually a couple of tanks full.
280 is on the hot side for my SX350J. I usually start about 260 but you have a completely different chip. 400 is really high. I was reading that actual temp of 600 for a certain amount of time will cause TiO2. When you took it apart did you have any white powder. Bells you should read up on the thread Titanium wire vaping and safety and ask some questions there. Lots of knowledgeable people there. Just out of curiosity when you had it set at 280 does your screen give you a read out of what the actual temp it thinks it is at. Mine for example is set at 260 and it stays within 2 degrees of that which is why I use the power setting I do of 13J. If I go way higher it is off my quite a bit more. I try to set the power to heat to temp in about 2 sec. The SX350J chip is far superior to any other on the market. I just read a post about a guy using a DNA200 on a Ti coil and it practically exploded, caught the legs on fire but I hear they are capable of putting tons of power out.

My Ti ones I wash them under hot water with a brush after about 3 weeks and then rewick after another 3 weeks I recoil but lots of people wash them again. Mike said he has a nickel coil he has done that to several times.
Like I said if you are planning on using Ti go to the thread Titanium wire vaping and safety and do some reading and ask some questions. It will give you a lot better idea of how to use it safely and get a great vape.
Yum, I just made up a small, 10ml, bottle of a new juice and I think I will like it.

I put it in a hot water/ultrasonic bath for about an hour. I have it in my Kanger Subtank, Ni200 coil 35w 450°. Now I will wait and see how it does over time and natural steeping. So far I am liking it.
