So now that I've got my Kennedy back, I'm running a 6x30g fused with 40g inside.

I pulled the parallel 24g N80 out, the 6 strand FC's ohm out to .15 on my Rolo.

when my second Kennedy 24 gets here I'm gonna put a TC Ti01 build in it. Any tips on working with Ti? I have 26g, and I can immediately tell it's gonna be much better than Ni200.

Put as much tension as you can on the wire leads when coiling. Ti works hardens immediately, so if tension is not present, it will stay in the loosely coiled state it was wound. Moreso than KA1 or Ni200. If twisting titanium, try not to shoot for minimal twist pitch or you may find the results unreasonable to work with. FYI, I build almost exclusively with titanium these days...

I can see the charts, I wanna hear from personal experience working with Ti. I probably won't be twisting it, maybe some parallels, or fused Claptons wrapped in N80 with only the Ti leads making contact with the posts.
Edit: maybe even aliens with Ti only going into the posts with the alien wrap done only in the middle of the coil with say, one wrap of 2-3 cores Ti exposed to each side of the alien.

im just testing the pic quality on my 5s, i think it looks better than my normal camera once you click the thumbnails and zoooom in
The twisted coil is 24g ss317l & A1 Kanthal.
The other is n80 2x26g & 34g.

Only problems I'm having using the phone is every time I go to click the like button I end up hitting the report button instead :D

Lol the thumbnails look great but then, when you zoom, you can't see anything haha. Gotta love the iPhone 5s (I'm probably going to back mine up and then wipe it so I can get a 6 or 6s soon) up close quality.

My Kennedy is back and I couldn't be happier :D
And my framed staple alien game is getting strong.

LoL okay i wont use the thumbnails next time, i used one of the clip on macro lens, my old camera wouldnt really show the inside wires of a fused etc.

Received my Snowwolf today, really liking it, i can now get back to vaping some fancy builds :D i found the 0.15ohm restriction on the sigelei to be a real pain for me.

Also got some 24g SS430 here, the snowwolf uses it in TC mode which is cool, its a real nice vape but then i would say that as ive turned into a bit of a SS freak lately :D

i have a ss430 build in the aromamizer rdta 8wrap dual 2.5mm id @ 0.19ohms atm its just flavourflavour flavour :)

As much as I LOVE some of the coil porn presented in this thread, what don't people understand about the title, "Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup"?

Right? And how about electrical parameters?

Woe to those that worship at the tabernacle of complexity.

Good luck all. Happy Holidays. :)
