Type "titanium" in search box and you will find a page of wire gauges like this one for example:
Titanium Wire 24 AWG RW0492 - 50 FT 0.5 oz Grade 1 Non-Resistance AWG
Titanium Wire 24 AWG RW0492 - 50 FT 0.5 oz Grade 1 Non-Resistance AWG
The Temco is about like working with Kanthal...maybe a bit softer. Totally easy to hand wrap a perfectly spaced coil with zero spring back. Has me using Titanium again 
So I've been checking this thread for months now. Finally getting "low" enough on wire to justify really wanting to try Nife. I've used titanium and liked it OK but I used "Titan Wires" because it was available locally. The wire is a dullish grey. It'll turn a nice blue with heat treatment. Anyways, I've decided to go "all out" and get some nife30, 52(48?), and some SS. I'm having trouble deciding what guages though. The SS is easy enough - probably 24 there. I liked the 26g OK with the titanium but think a bit bigger would be nice. The problem is I bought some 22g titanium and it was terrible. I should've known that one but the worst part was it would kick out of TC. Zivipf is the only place that seems to stock these "niche" wires (and pretty much all of them, at that!) so how's the Ti from there? And what is everyone building with as far as nife?
The temco Ti might be worth a separate order. I'm certainly not paying "Titan" prices again or buying SSV wire...
For NiFe52, I've been using 27g on dual coil builds, 25g on singles, and have been liking it a lot. I also picked up some 25/27g SS430 from wireandstuff after using the 28g from unkamen but wanting it in a larger gauge. It works pretty well, but I still prefer the NiFe... at least for now.
I finally got around to twisting a couple strands of 28 gauge SS 430 together, working pretty nice.
It is nice, you hand twist or use a drill? Seems to work a lot better with a really tight twist from a drill vs hand twisting with temperature control.
I'm gonna get a Griffin (most likely) and use my velocity quite a bit. The small wires are a bit more of a pain. I rebuilt my crown RBA with the last bit of 26g Ti wire I had. It works OK but the coil is small and vape is cool. If I turn it up the wicking won't keep up. Anyways, in a bigger deck the 25g would be alright for duals? The benifits of these wires being higher resistance should mean good TC with bigger wire? I really like 24g for kanthal. I bought some "Riot Wire" at a B&M because it was on sale and I assumed it was likely SS since it's so soft. I'm quite sure it is. Anyways, it was 20g so super low resistance. It worked excellent in power mode but was too big for my intended purpose. It kept kicking out of TC which is frustrating when I could watch the ohms rise lol I'm using a DNA 200 btw
It was difficult to choose, but I ended up getting them all in 25g so it would be a more "even" test of the materials. 304, 316, NiFe48, NiFe30, and Ti =)
I ordered for Zivipf at 1am Eastern time and it was sent out at 3am. BTW, the coupon code "zivipf88" is still working for 8% off. I can't wait! Now I'm having trouble nailing down my next RTA. I was sure about the Griffin but the new aromamizer supreme sounds excellent. Such is the vaping world I suppose

OK, so I'm also trying to figure out a decent device that works well with TC. I was pretty set on getting the Griffin but I might wait for a V2. A 25mm one would be excellent. I really like the simplicity of a single coil so I was looking hard at the serpent. After browsing a bit I also found the "Bachelor" by EHPro. I really like the width of the coil. Looks an excellent size for TC?
As far as atomizers, you need to make sure all connections are good and solid.
A lower resistance from the atty, as opposed to the coil helps, but nothing throws TC off worse than a flaky connection.

The best TC atomizer is going to have a nonadjustable 510 with the negative terminal milled into the deck (RTA), any atomizer with a floating center pin can be a hassle.
Although you can get a good TC vape from factory coil type tanks, I have no experience with these though.

That's probably a bit wide of a question for this thread anyways, lots of different things out there that work well. I went ahead and ordered a serpent and another velocity. I keep pulling good builds out so I can try another one lol
