problem..

[macis]

just made several failed attempt to do a Ti1 build on my subtank mini. realised that the screw to tighten the coil is almost flat. despite wrapping my wire around the screw, the resistance still jumped. have to switch back to kanthal for the moment as kanthal is harder thus easier to tighten.

wondering if i can find the screw at any Home-fix or specs shop?

any help would be appreciated,
let me know if i violate the rules here, i'll delete the post.

screws you can find it EVERYWHERE, if you know what i mean

lol.. i guess i must take the screw out n asked around all hardware shops?

That isn't a bad idea.

i'll probably do that once i get another tank, maybe just hop over to Home-fix store n ask about it.

I tried looking for these kind of screws at home fix before. Apparently the outlet near me doesnt stock them. Might wanna bring the screw out so that its easier for them to confirm whether they have or not

U can try ubi if u drive

Not too sure what you meant by jump, but ti1 resistance will jump under heat for one hence it is only used in tc mod. 26awg ti1 should offer the same viability as kanthal in terms of building.

so did u managed to find the screw in the end?

i don't drive. i wouldn't mind taking public transport if Ubi confirm selling. i only worried to find they not carrying this type of screw after gg all the way down.

i mean the resistance jumping ard fr 0.3 to 0.9ohm. i understand that titanium wire jumped accordingly when heated, hence the need to locked the resistance on certain devices.

i cannot be 100% certain if mine jumped is becos of the screw or the Ti1 wire itself, as i have only 1 tank to test. but by screwing the screw ON the wire without wrapping it around, the coil moved when i pushed the end part of the wire. after wrapping it around the screw b4 tightening it, the coil still sort of moved bit when i ajust it with screwdriver compared to the other side with the perfect screw. i tried switching the screw around but the problem still persist.

when i switched back to kanthal, the resistance still jumped if i didn't wrapped the wire around the screw.

may i asked do u build contact coil on ur Ti1 wire. if u do, do u noticed its resistance jumping when u tuned it?

sorry my english very bad, hope u can understand what i'm trying to say.

Ahhh then its not the "jump" that I was worried about, you did your homework

Usually if kanthal resistance jump too, its time to strip the whole RBA. You can remove the post by unscrewing the bottom airflow portion (that might be loose). Also problem could arise from anywhere that's in contact with the mod i.e the centre floating pin might be not making contact as well. (I highly doubt the its screw problem though)

These are the parts you can strip it down to

but when i tried screwing the wire without wrapping it ard the the screw, the coil moved when i pushed the end bit of the wire. on the other hand, when i pushed the other side of the wire where the perfect screw is didn't move at all.

I typically don't do contact coil on any TC wires as well, I've read that TI is ok but still it'll be easier to build spaced coil from the start. Hope that helps.

I want that band..

haaaa.. i didn't stripped the tank as thoroughly as u hehe. i didn't take out the screw post where it hold the coil.
will do so in the future, thx!

i've done contact Ti1 coil b4. a friend send me sm twisted to try when i 1st bought my mod. it took me 3 failed attempt to do my 1st Ti1 build. i doing Ti1 again becos i just bought a roll of the wire recently.

Mayb u can take a pic on which screw

i think its better to bring the screw along, as the size is very hard to estimate by looking at a pic.
