So far I'm happy with titanium. Now, you guys are making me think seriously about SS 430. Just what I need, kanthal, nickel, titanium and SS spools all taking up space on my desk. I hardly have enough room to use a mouse as it is. Jeesh!
You're all a bunch of youngsters. I'll be 67 in February, and feeling like 70 right now after working outside for the last two days.

I checked your profile, your not that old
It was a preemptive "whippersnappers". By the time I'm eligible to use it, it might be too late, youngin.

You guys can consider yourselves extremely hip. I mean your here running with 30 year olds and keeping up. So thats pretty darn cool.
Sorry dont mean to push ss, just my opinion. If your happy no need to change till your not... You already know what I think of ss and you don't have to worry about glowing the coil or weak wire. When the time is right for you to try it let us know.. many of us have 200ft and would drop some to you in the mail.
II had already got to that time and 54 pushed me over the edge.

I knew you were a kid (30 is still a kid) as soon as you said you can type on a smartphone and see any of it lol.
So your younger than "Get off my lawn" and older than "Is that freedom rock? well turn it up man!"
You'll learn the secret handshake when you hit 50.
I can't give that a "like" but yes, pretty much all the folklore about aging isn't folklore.

Actually freedom rock was my generation, so yeah, "turn it up, man!"

I listen to classic rock more than anything, and by classic I don't mean 90's rock
Zeppelin, Doors, Hendrix...etc. Ya know, the good stuff.
How do you anneal, Jeremy? Do you leave the mandrel in when you torch it? Or do you torch the wire before wrapping?

Lots of Floyd, Zep, Doors, Genesis (only up to Lamb on Broadway), Tull , ELP and King Crimson on my portable DAP.
But there is also A7X, Disturbed, Dream Theater, the complete Infected Mushroom Discography and the latest Deadmau5 tracks.
Cindy, this is how I prep my kanthal, and now ss430.
I have a gas stove and I hold the wire with pliers (sometimes) and run it over the flame so it has all been evenly red hot for a second. I also hold a little tension on it, enough to keep it straight, and it comes out straight and stiff.
I'm sure you've seen the wire warp and throw off your wraps when you try to test fire that first time with springy wire.
So after the coil is wrapped I also temper,? if you will, the wire. By removing the mandrel lightly pulsing and carefully reinstalling the mandrel. I repeat a number of times, each time getting the coil hotter and eventually glowing. After the coils stabile and I can burn it without movement its pretty much not going anywhere.

I have seen that horrible warp thing once or twice, with Kanthal no less.
I think that was when I pulsed with the Disrupter for the first time. My perfect coil got totally mangled.So you do this to keep your 2.5mm coil down at 2.5mm, instead of blowing up to 4mm when you wrap it, right? (sorry, have only worked with Kanthal)
After my coil is mounted, I pulse it, put the mandrel in, do a cold water dip, then repeat. Have no idea what that does, but it's become a habit now. Thanks, Jeremy!

I just approached it like I did kanthal.This was my first ss coil, so I haven't tried it off the roll yet . The stainless did still kick back on me a little more than kanthal but only .1 -.2 mm or so in diameter probably.
