I haven't tried ti on a mech because the resistance does go up when its heated, which is why tc works with ni and ti, but not yet with kanthal. However, if you don't mind your vape changing, my understanding is it will work on a mech.

Ti on a mech is going to perform terribly. A .5ohm coil will be over 1 ohm after a 3-4 second draw. You'll go from 30ish watts down to 15 by the end of your hit....or is that what you're looking for?
That could explain a lot regarding my disappointment in using titanium. Though often even the first draw has seemed as lacking as subsequent ones.
I didn't think the resistance change was as high, maybe I'll have to do a bit more research to find a formula to calculate it. Unfortunately I don't have a way to check resistance changes whilst vaping.
Maybe I'll keep an eye out for someone selling a DNA40 in good condition just to give it a try, though I'm really not a fan of box mods. But unfortunately no one has designed a DNA40 or higher watts type chip / circuit board of small size to fit nicely in a tube mod.

That's an extremely loaded and dangerous question to ask anywhere on this forum...
All I can say is, you'll never know until you find out. And NOBODY can refute that, from either side of the fence...nor from on top of it.

If any one of you folks from "the wars" start chiming in with ANYTHING that sounds like you're trying to ignite a battle here, I'll report you so fast your head will spin.
Mods were put on alert the second the OP posted the question.
Think I'm joking? Guess again. Try me.
You know who you are, and you have been warned.
This thread hasn't fallen apart due to the wars that plenty others have crumbled to, and it shall remain that way. There is no need to continue those old arguments here, especially considering that neither side will change the other's mind.
End of story.

P.S. Off cigs, you didn't say or do anything wrong...just in case it came out that way. Promise. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Hiya HB. How've you been?
I'm glad I'm only in threads where I usually don't see this crap.

Since you're from the UK, maybe try to contact SM again, maybe send it in for them to look at it. Sad to hear about your problems. SM are really nice folks, just talk to them, let them sort you out. I've used an original K4 daily for the last 6 months, a tough workhorse it is. No issues whatsoever. Ok, minor ones..as I like to think now

SM came back and suggested I send it to them so they can fix it.
Cheers for all the help everyone.
I'm using 26g kanthal 5 wraps and I got .65 ohms... I'm trying to get .5 ohms but what's the best way to do that? .65 is too high for me and I'm using a poldiac...

Calculate your wire length via the SteamTurners Calculator.
Mine is kind of weepy at times, bit of rust showed up on logo, 510 pin likes to loosen, threads could be better, juice flow seems finicky at times. Little niggles that can add up to annoying.
I have 2 Tobeco KF4's that are perfect. A lot of members have said the same thing. I bought a third one for only $10 bucks from VaporRange.
Unless you want a slow ramp up due to lung hits, don't bother with 24g. Personally I find 26g to be too slow for me. For some reason it always gunks up far more than 28g for me; I really object to dry burning when the wick is still totally fine, but the coil is so caked that the vape drops off within a single tank.
Try a 28g 3mm 4 wrap parallel (obviously 8 total wraps) for about 0.5ohms. I use a 5 wrap for about 0.065 and it's superb!
Just fold your normal 15 ish cm piece of 28g in half, straighten out if needed so that the pieces don't have a tendency to overlap when winding, and wrap 4 times. You'll probably need to pull on the ends to make them taut more than a single coil, but it's easy enough once you've done a couple. Use both post screws on each side for better grip and cut the loop that connects the 2 separate coils at one end only once they are securely held. Be careful when squeezing after heating so that you don't make the coils overlap too much.
Great idea... I was reading about the parallel coil... is there a picture of your method?

I'll actually put a new parallel on last night, but I'll take a few pics of the process up to mounting the coil and post those up later tonight. Hopefully it will help. At the moment I'm unfortunately unwilling to remove the coil I have in there, as they're very difficult (at least for me) to remount as opposed to a single coil, and it's probably the best I've done so far.
So far this is what I've done but the flavor seems mute vs single coil

Wire folded in half
Ready to wind.
Not pulled tight yet.
Tightened up a little.
Last night's coil already blackened by a few tanks.
Good to go. A bit crappy but salvageable. Too messy to be worth it.

That dual coil looks really good! Never tried one so I cant really comment. All I could think if the flavour is lacking, is that the centre of the wick over the airflow may not be getting heated up as much as that inside the coil, and drawing on the KF gives you this lower temp vape diluting it.
I will give yours a shot when my coil gets too dark
