Stainless steel vaping

Just got the Aspire Trition tank. It comes with a 0.4 ohm SS coil. I'm noticing a little less flavour than Kanthal, but I tried it on TC with my istick 40 and the flavour was increased. I'm not sure if I should be vaping SS on temp control so I switched back. The istick 40 only has a Ni200 mode for TC.
I'm vaping now for a small week with stainless steel in TC mode and loving it! It's less springy than titanium and creates a warmer vapor then ni200.
I'm actually searching the forums here for more info on it, but it doesn't seem to be used a lot. Using it with the evic mini, the recent update has a SS option.
i will use SS only in temp mode, to decrease burned hits and a more steady vapor production. I see no reason to use it in power mode, if you got the option for temp. Better control over the vape imho.
I learned yesterday if you switch your istick off, press fire and the plus button and hold it for 20 seconds, that you then will activate titanium mode. I don't have an istick (bloody lost it when i was drunk... but that's another story) so i can't confirm it.. Just thought you wanted to know.

Didn't know the istick did that! I tried it, and sure enough, after 20 seconds it came up 'Ti Coil' on the screen. But when turned on, it still showed 'ni' on the screen. Somebody try it out...I've got to head for work, but I will surely test out the function later.
I've been using the Uwell Crown tank with the .5 SS coils on my IPV4S for the last few weeks in TI mode. It works great.
1- Oh yes, it's entirely possible.
2- Magic (Is this a real question? Not sure I understand exactly what #2 is asking)
3- Sort of, you need to account for the temperature coefficient of different materials, so with Ti or Ni mode the temperature will be off what the display says, due to SS having a different coefficient than Ni or Ti. If you're going to use one, you should use Ti mode as it it much closer to SS than Ni is, there are also mods coming to market with SS in the temperature control settings already, and I'm sure the mods with the option to upgrade firmware will likely add it.
For what it's worth I've been exclusively using SS wire for over six months without temp control, I just like it much more and don't feel that temperature control is necessary at all.
This is a great thread with lots of information you should read through - 304 / 316 SS and TC

SS is Gplat. Common welding wire. I enjoy the vape. It basically does not work in TC mode as the TCR coefficient requires 600F to enable TC. I enjoy the vape. Many think they are in TC mode with it but they are not. No big deal.

Beyond expectations on 4 of my TC mods and have done fused claptons with kanthal core without TC, flavor was stellar, on a mech there is absolutely NO ramp time.

Do a dry, no liquid fire on your cotton at 50 joules and let me know if your cotton does not incinerate.Expand your horizons - Curve calculation and TCR adjustable mods
I'm still extremely iffy on the whole "vaping nickel/titanium," but I do appreciate the flavor increase on it. I don't think I want to touch SS or even Iron coils that they're making now lol.
Good to know!! I'm not really a TC vaper so I haven't looked into it that much.
Hey guys. Dropping in.. Just saw this post. Just wondered if the flavor off these coils was cleaner than titanuim or similair?
On my Cloupor Mini+ in TI TC mode using SS430 the device constantly adjusts the joules as I vape, keeping the temp consistent.
It can be seen on the screen.
So it does something, to keep the temp setting.
I'd call that TC, but of course I am no expert at all.
Either way, it's a really nice reliable vape.
I use it in a Tobeco Orchid V5, Kraken and Perseus.
