TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

[vapealone]

Welcome to the STmini "exclusively" club. All I use too and they're all three the original V1 rba. In TC they hover around 32w and never dryhit or flood. They'll vape all the way up to 45w with the afc wide open if wicked correctly. 24g Ti, 6wrap, 2.78mm, slightly spaced coils are like magic in a STmini.

Care to elaborate "if wicked correctly" ?
ATM I am all right with spaced S/S -Rayon combo and I think it is my first spaced built in it but in the contact coiled past I had problems with wicking when AFC was wide open.
Besides, any improvement would be welcomed for the vapor is still not as silky/milky as I prefer and get on a Goliath or on a Zephyrus.

Okay, you two STM fans, I have just rewicked my Lemo 2 with the 6-wrap 24awg NiFe48 for the third time and may be willing to break my no-clearo rule.

I know there are good and bad variations of the STM. What is the best/most reliable version available these days? Links?

It seems that my Kanger Subtank has been replaced by the new kid on the block.

For cotton I cut the wick tails on an angle so when the wick gets bent downward all of the wick ends barely touch the deck, then after installing the atty chamber I smash the wick tails flat against the side of the build deck. Forgot to mention, wick it very heavy.

I haven't figured out exactly how to wick with rayon yet. The vapor always seems a little thin to me too, no matter how I thin the tails or where I position them. Even though I'm currently blaming the rayon it's probably just me.

I don't consider myself a fan. I more likely want to be a fan or something. I like the favor and its low maintenance construction that is why I keep trying to get the vape I like out of it

Yeah.
On my list.
Too bad that no one within a 10K+ miles radius around me stocks the 6 ml + velocity deck version.
I am jealous

Aromamizer is on my list too. My local b&m should have them in by the end of the week...with the velocity deck.

That being the Aromamizer? They seem to be a mystery to me. Where'd you get that setup?

 

[Mactavish]

I like my STM's as well. I prefer the V2 version. They are small in size compared to most, never had one leak. A bargain considering you get a spare glass, an RBA, o-rings, etc. Biggest plus when you get lazy, you toss in a premade coil, and they are not as expensive as many other brand coils. I would like to see a titanium premade, not sure why Kanger is lagging behind on those coils.

Does Kanger make SS coils?

It is my favorite too. Haven't used much since I got it about a month ago and it is great with TC. I have 2 Crius tanks on order which wick similar so we will see how they go too. But I may get another one.

You won't regret getting one. And if you really want a treat, try some Pima Cotton with it. I can chain vape with 80%VG on this without missing a beat.

Here is where I got mine, but you can find them elsewhere but they are not too common.
Steam Crave Aromamizer SC 200 RDTA RTA Sub Ohm Tank with Velocity Style RDA Deck

It works and produces like a dripper with a 6ml tank on top and foolproof wicking. Be sure to get the 2 post Velocity Style Deck. Plenty of room to build away.

I will give a few more days to my domestic shops before I order from overseas. If I am uber lucky I might get one this week

I think Eciggity will get them back in stock soon, request a notice when back in stock, they ship to your location.
Hawaii isn't that far. I actually thought they were in Texas till I ordered mine from them. LOL

Thank you, guys, I got the one listed on eBay.

But...

At checkout I found that someone was using my email address, under a different username. I was "lucky", or, observant to catch the spoof.

Called eBay who verified that I, and I alone, have the particular email address; with a promise from eBay that they will disassociate the other person and issue a warning.

How could this happen? Some years ago I satisfied another of my hobbies with (lots) of fairly expensive eBay purchases. Knowing how insecure eBay dealings were I had them send a security device that I used to login with. It must be 4, 5, or 6 years since I regularly used eBay...

Aromamizer on the way. [emoji41]

It now says 2 left. I guess folks are buying them, maybe after seeing this post.

 

[Diyguy]

Ordered the evic mini which now works with SS wire. Which SS wire is the safest and best choice? Bit worried about the potential health problems, so im looking for the safest wire possible..

Any suggestions appreciated

I think I read in another thread that Joyetech tested the VTC Mini SS firmware using SS 304 wire. I'm getting some for my VTC, hoping it will cure the Ti anemic vape issue that I and others have with that mod using Ti wire in Ti mode (I'm using Ti wire in Ni mode now with acceptable results.)

Edit: Just remembered that I read elsewhere that 304SS was thought to be the "safest" of the 317, 316, 304 varieties, per the writer, who listed a bunch of data that was over my head. I think the main point was that he said 304 had less nickel than the others. FWIW. Hope this helps.

Well they had a fairly large vulnerability that they have been told about for the past few months. They ignored the security researcher and are now saying he owes them money. He gave them 3 months before he even said anything about it. Not his fault they don't listen. And eBay wonders why I don't have payment info linked to it.

 

[2legsshrt]

Wow I didn't realize there were so many STM fanboys besides me. I have 12 all I use I love em. They are reasonably priced work with any wire I put on them and extra parts readily available. I feel the same way about the SXM. Got 5 of those.

 

[Eric Auer]

Has anyone used SS wire with the DNA40?

Is it workable?

Thanks

Eric
