Anyone know what the TC Coefficient of NK (brand) NeFi30 26 AWG is? I just ordered it from ali express. The Dicodes Resistherm brand was too expensive, especially considering shipping costs in canada right now.

For starters Resistherm is not NiFe30, and if the vendor doesn't tell you then it's a crap shoot.
Dude, don't be obtuse. Right below this thread you should see '
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance' use info from there or steam-engine.
NO matter what you think. real Resistherm has a slightly different make up compared to real NiFe30. What do you think, Dicodes woke up one day and thought, hey we'll just call plain old NiFe30 Resistherm and let's just buy it cheap from China.

Of course i didn't think that, that's why i'm asking what the TC Coefficient of Reistance of NK Brand NiFe30 is. There is other threads on ecigarettesforum where people have posted about other brands like one from the uk that you can lookup the datasheet for. But i like NK well enough and didn't know about shipping from the UK. Dicodes may have even invented NiFe30 as far as i can gather, and some other brands have copied them. I'm not being obtuse. I'm pointing out what i thought you missed. What is Dicodes Resistherm then, if not a proprietary blend of NiFe30?
If i thought Dicodes just bought NiFe30 from NK or their source or something like that and rebranded it, then i'd use the Coefficient listed for Dicodes NiFe30 for my NK wire in my Dicode, but i do not think that and am asking about NK wire which is not a crazy thing to ask, they are a popular chinese brand. Nevermind that some people, like myself, would prefer to buy a cheaper alternative to the original Dicodes wire.
Maybe its a crapshoot, maybe i got scammed, maybe i did it to myself. Not much lost money compared to what i have to pay for a tiny bit of Dicodes wire. Canada Post is on strike, the only online retailer (and no store i know of in province sells any non-pre-coiled wire), the only online retailer of dicodes wire charges 35 CAD to ship right now.
Ya i see, the fellow says another person or group invented something called resistherm NiFe30, so you say those two terms are two diffferent things but the thread combines them and says it is invented by a different source and dicodes uses it too. I never originally asked about who invented it, however, i just know dicodes makes a proprietary blend for their devices, and wanted to know how to set a cheaper alternative. I'm sure it'll work, my dicodes is an old model and SS316 is not supposed to work well but it works ok for me. I just didn't want to have it become unstable while tinkering with the settings, right. Or at the very least know how to set NeFi30 is general vs Dicodes resistherm NeFi30 (which i already know, it was told to me by the retailer). I don't need to know anything about "real" or "original" resistherm.

BTW, obtuse means extremely foolish (i'm just going from memory). How am i so foolish for posting that Resistherm NeFi30 is a real thing. Even if you think neither dicodes is real nor NK's nor stealthwire or whatever that UK brand is called. (very popular alternative though).
EDIT: i looked it up, switched words with another one in my head, or perhaps its a dictionary thing. but it means slow to understand or dull witted. That's not clearly the case either. Not unless obtuse is your favourite word and you just want it to mean "wrong, according to me."
I'll point out: i have never tried the wire and have limited means to test it out. Proper TCC measuring requires a setup that probably costs minimum 500-1000CAD. But i was hoping someone out there had tinkered with different NK wires since they are so common on aliexpress and back when fasttech was around they were big on there too.
I was told by the vendor that my mod takes 100 minimum, whereas SS316L is 95 (according to him), and the better SS (would have to check my emails for the numerals) should be set to 105, barely enough for my dicode, and, obviously, recommended dicodes resistherm NeFi30. So i bought some NiFe30 from NK from a vendor on ali, because, it's a small risk it's less stable than my current SS which constantly wanes out in output over a small session, as long as i know or figure out how to set it up in the mod. A small risk, considering minimal cost.
Back to the word you used. Dude, i don't like that word, and obtuse, as in don't be obtuse, as in demanding that i have more wit or understand faster. What a strange thing to demand. My best guess: you meant what everyone means.. "don't be what i feel is dumb because you pointed out 'the obvious' or 'the minimum'". Which is a really loose but common misunderstanding of the word.

If you meant i was insensitive, i am sorry i hurt your feelings, but by that definition of an obtuse person, it'd actually be you. Which was my initial thought (insensitive, projecting).
The reason i don't just expect it to work like a simple list of common "real wires," is that there is a range for NeFi30, especially from china, but even amongst western alternatives that are known as reliable they still fall somwhere different on that range, from what i looked up, whereas major western brands are more likely to publish their own recommending coefficient settings.
EDIT: Sorry, i haven't slept. But one more thing. Germany is not always greatly more expensive than China to manufacture. Sale price of german products is not proportional. Depends on where in China and also on what it is. Wire is cheap to make, probably even in germany. That's assuming its not made special order from a country like china. Chinese manufacturers can be reliable sources of high quality goods. But for high quality goods they cost about just as much as America sometimes, so slightly less than germany, but again it depends on what, and i just think the diffference for wire would be marginal even if it were double the cost.

If somwhere in the 4k replies there is some mention of one or more NeFi30 Wires, and if somewhere in there it resolves the original post to later state a corrected viewpoint which you've reflected to me.. i will never know because honestly i'm not a forum dweller / crawler type of person.
What you seem to be saying after a closer look, is that real NeFi30 is pure, Resistherm NeFi30 was invented by some other company than Dicodes, but that Dicodes doesn't source it cheaply. That's it, that's what you tried to say but didn't. If i've got it wrong, then it's because you weren't clearer. But at this point i'm just going to tinker with the coefficient settings from Normal NeFi30 and up or down. Don't need any more replies of any quality level, thanks everyone.

Unless someone wants to tell me what brand of NeFi30, Resistherm or not, is best.. that is something i'm interested in
