I'm running 6 STM's with Ti 5wraps spaced 26awg 3mm on nickel mode at like he said 260-280 14J really good flavor and not real warm like I like. I'm really impressed with it. Got 2 weeks on these coils will rewick soon but they seem to taste better after they age for a day or two. I can run it in Ti mode at 460-480 14J and get nearly the same vape so IDK why I just use NI200 mode. Works great flavor every bit as good as nickel not so finnicky, haven't had near the little problems I had with nickel. I really like it. I have one STM with a 1.5ohm coil kanthal on my S class and I can't believe the diff in the taste, WOW so much better with Ti. I can't believe how well my Ti coils are still working just like they were new maybe better.+1 to Yozhik
No issues with running Ti in the Ni200 Profile (@20J & 285*F).
Since I finally listened to those here more Wise and cranking up the Temp to around 480* F, am running it in the Ti Profile with great success as well (at 20-22.5J depending on RTA).
Strangely enough,,, I own 3 STM's and have yet to build on one. Just run the OCC 0.5 kanthals on my 2 Kanger SubBoxes and a Ni200 OCC on the other Tank for TC when doing rebuilds & Tweaking on the EK & L2 Coils or Wicking (my Hole-Card Tank). Gonna pull the Trigger on a EK Clone by WoToFo this weekend so then the L2 will move to "Hole-Tank" Duty freeing up the 3rd STM for building. Then make that one my new juice Flavor Tester as it is easy to disassemble, clean and refill.
On that Subject,,,, REALLY digging on these Mech Sauce Liquids. Amazing Flavor & Combos and at $5 for a 30ml (4 Bottles was $24.95 shipped) a Sweet Deal and Return in my Book. Tried the Empress Milk V2 in the Ti built EK. Pretty good right out the Vape Mail and after 3 days Aging, the 2nd Tank-full is much better than the first. Imagine it will be Nirvana after week to 10 days. Gonna load the L2 up with the Waterhog Flavor this morning and take it for a spin. Big hopes as luv me some Melon juice and have yet to find one that is Outstanding.
This just might be The One. Enough typing,,,, time to Lock & Load the Melon Cannon and throw some Clouds down Range. Fire In The Hole!
On Sundays, we ain't "bored",,,,
We are Inspired
Best of Luck in that "Free Ti Contest"
I feel assured you are definitely gonna win
Oh and I'm using Vape Mesh Ti 26awg. Seems like really good quality wire to me. But I've never tried any other although I have some Unkamen. When these finally wear out might give it a try.

I dunno you guys near the med , must disagree Tony
16c here is hot hot hot , time to break out the sun tan lotion and me posers pouch
Celsius? Farenheit? Meh, those are so uncool. Those who are hip all know that the Delisle temperature scale is where it's at these days!
Hey come on cant we just stick with real temp ...... Kelvin

I've been won over by the Holman scale. 100 degrees is when a Holman gets angry over the heat and 0 degrees is when he looks outside and says, "Screw it, just better to stay on the couch."
I believe that Kondo effect Scheissen....
Let the Lemo 2 sit for about a week. Filled it with some Mech Sauce Waterhog I got in Monday to give it it's Inaugural Run and the SXMM was having a Bee-Atch of a time reading the Resistance. Was ALL OVER the place. Acted Schizo. Changed to the Ni200 Profile and she locked in fine and vaped like a Champ.
Then again I know the Ti Profile is very unforgiving and relies heavily on a good Solid Contact (which the L2 is notorious for having Issues with).
The Erl Konigin is still humming right along in the Ti Profile.
Have a WoToFo Erl K Clone coming in Monday. Can't wait to slap a Ti Build on it and see how it compares. They are reputed to be an awesome 1 to 1 so should be fine like the Authentic is on the SXMM in Ti. We shall see.
By the way, The Mech Sauce Juice is impressive. Good and Flavorful right out the Mailbox and seems to become Great after a few days. First Custard I have ever tried (Empress Milk V2-Strawberry Custard & splash of Pear) and strange at first now really digging the Hail out of it. See myself dabbling more in the Custard Realms. The Waterhog is a dang fine and natural tasting Watermelon too. Saving the Blue Tentacle (Jelly Donut-aww YayAh Baby) and the Tsunami Sauce (BB Cheescake) for after they age till Sunday.
Plus since not a DIY'er (yet), at $24.95 for 4 30ml Bottles shipped to my Desk, Sa-Weet!

Vape mesh company and wire and mesh company are one and the same company
They do produce/extrude wire
If their raw product is made in house or bought in I don't know as not taken that much interest
I do know a lot of vendors buy from them and then relable ..... and bump up the price

Must be a healthy 72* Holman here then.... Perfect Weather & Attitude for an after Work Dr. Deere Yard Mowing Therapy Session.
Huh,,, maybe Holmans are a Combo of Temperature & Mental State of Being....
Would 50 Holmans therefore be the "Ideal"? Perfect Center. Like a Pendulum at Dead-Bottom-Center. Not Swinging to one extreme or another. Just the Perfect Calm. Like the Center Point in the Yin & Yang Symbol.
End of Week Ramblings. Consider at your own Risk. Ponder safely my Friends
Sorry to tell you this, but even those remaining devices are using joules per coulomb. I guess that means it is time for you to dust off the mechs and party like it's 2013?
Guys your really confusing me now
What ever happened to British Thermal Units

Yuppers -
Always looking for good juice at a good price! Where did u order from? Also, where did u get ERL K clone? I have been WANTING to try out the authentic but I NEED to start with clone. If u know what I mean! Plus since I got my SXM I have seriously thinking about getting another to carry around if I could find a good used one that I didn't care so much about messing up. So far mine has been at home in its sleeve safe & sound!
Not sure if you got this sorted already, but I had similar issues with a pair of TC Orchids I have running. They starting burning and had climbing/unstable resistance. After a good cleaning with an eraser of the brass center pin on the Orchid, and the center pin on the SXM (not sure if this was needed but did it at the same time) the resistance readings were stable and back to what they were when first built, and the burning went away.
The issue was compounded further when I used them on my Sig75 with tarnished center pin, but the Orchids are working great on everything again after a good cleaning of the contacts.
i just noticed other then four really small tiny holes on the battery cap not much for air ventilation to keep the unit cool..was that because it only takes a single battery and they did not expect much in the unit creating and the need for dissipating heat?
Vlad, I got my Eleaf IStick TC40W today and put my STM on it with the build I made to your specifications a while back. It is a Ti coil so I have to run it on Ni mode. No Ti mode on that little boy. I am running it at 350F and it works fairly well with an instant ramp up time. There is no Joules or Wattage settings in TC mode. Only a temperature setting. It feels about 1/3 the weight and less than half the volume of the SXM but it seems to be a very capable device for its size. Well worth the $30 price and nice to have around as a 2nd TC mod just in case or when I need a beater so to speak. The whole mod is about 40% wider than the STM and about 90% of the height of the STM. It just seems strange holding this mod after holding and using the SXM.
My 2 UD Goliath v2's vape mail came in the other night. Maybe tomorrow I will coil them in Ti and see how they perform. I am tempted to build one with Ti and the other with NI200 but being a dual coil I just don't know what build to use for the NI200 in such a small deck area.
I will most likely twist my 26ga Ti or maybe 30ga NI200 with 30ga Kanthal A1. I wonder if I should go wild and try to twist up some 26ga Ti with 30ga NI200. That should be interesting.
Has anybody tried that one?

Glad your liking it. It for sure is a tiny light weight device at an amazing price point IMO. Really a nice stealthy size. I've only messed with my sons a little bit but it felt good in hand and produced vapor just like it was supposed to. I would be a little hesitant of using Ti on it though just due to the lack of adjustment of the initial firing (I've experienced the Ti02 flakes on an overheated Ti coil). Did a really quick scope check on his and it was pretty accurate in watt mode. In temp mode it always had a pretty big power surge at initial firing then started trickling down I assume to maintain temp. That surge is what would kinda frightens me with Ti if the wick went dry.
Yeah, I agree. I should just use NI200 on this little boy but all my tanks have Ti on them except for my Delta II which I will swop out with now to see how it performs with a NI200 coil. Thanks for the warning as I didn't think about that one.Glad your liking it. It for sure is a tiny light weight device at an amazing price point IMO. Really a nice stealthy size.

Understand completely. Love my authentic EK. IMO, the best RTA (All Facets considered and weighed) I have ever tried or owned. Follow Qorax's Tutorials and the Beast Rock & Rolls. Its Flavor is amazing, and overall Design makes it well suited for TC Vaping. Can't beat the Deck Design for Building (single Coil) and the Qorax Method for Wicking and Filling are bullet-proof.
Wanted another but not at the $130 plus shipping. Know WoToFo makes great Clones and has their own Stuff with a good Rep for quality and well made. $39.95 with 3 day USPS Priority Shipping. So seemed like an apt Acquisition.
Wotofo Erlkönigin (Konigin) Clone - $34.99 - Vape95.com
That's where I found and ordered the one I have in route. Shipped the next day and will be here Monday.
Be putting another Order into Mech Sauce this Weekend. Really Good Stuff at a Great Price (comparatively).
