The end of microcoils?

I'm liking every word here. The reason is, it's at least a discussion we are permitted to have. I am confused. Hope this will pardon the expression fizzle out to a reasonable level of un-politicized, propagandized information, once the media and ANTZ rally.
Ok, just commenting on the colored oxidation question.
Just about what you said above, this colored film oxidation, is both very thin (microns) and only the start of oxidation, correct?
A remarkable development I hadn't fully appreciated from blips on "growing bacteria in soil" of other accounts. Excellent article. Thank you.
Good luck.

Not exactly, they figured out a way to culture the majority of bacteria on the planet, and they just started testing the bacterial secretions to see if they could produce new forms of antibiotics. So far they tested about a dozen or so potential candidates from their new method of culturing bacteria. So even if this new antibiotic they have developed doesn't perform in humans the way it does in mice, at least they have discovered a method of how to culture the majority of bacteria on earth, that's a lot of potential cures for who knows what! It's astronomically huge!

Here's another one I thought was pretty cool.. Basically a 1000 year old antibiotic that actually kills MERSA. The coolest part is, that they have no idea why.

That was pretty much in line with my own personal experience, and like I said they have research that suggests that some people's brains are more receptive to nicotine and these people are way more addicted to it than others. I know that I personally can't resist the urge to smoke or vape anymore than I can resist the urge to use the bathroom after drinking a 6 pack of beer (which I don't do very often) One thing I have noticed since I started vaping is that the nicotine gums actually work for me now. When I was smoking, I could chew five pieces of it at once and it wouldn't help much. Yet I have seen plenty of people quit cold turkey like it was nothing.

I always dry burn before wicking. Gotta make sure it glows inside out before you wick that .....
I found in my ecperience, the micro coil didnt provide sufficient cotton for my kayfun to keep up with wicking...or maybe it was my lack of experience

So back to the issue of dry burning coils. This morning I took one of my pre coiled tensioned micro contact coils (that's a mouth full) and set my IPV mini to its lowest setting of 5 watts pulse fired it just enough to glow a dark orange so I could compress the coil and work out the hotspots. That was the cleanest tasting vape I have ever had.
Orion,
Poor wicking - for the last few months I have been building 4.5mm ID coils. Most Attys have trouble if the coil it too long but 4.5 mm ID fits all of my RTAs. IMHO 4.5 mm wicks are the gift that just keeps giving. I have never had one not keep up with my use. I run 8 turns 26 Ga Ni200 which comes out about 0.12 ohms.
It really works I am also trying it with Ti that Tony sent me only I forgot that Ti is higher in resistance so with the 28 or 30 Ga he sent me and 8 turns it comes out about 0.7 ohms but still works fine. I just don't have a clue what temperature I am running at. it kind of idles around 235F and I set the TP at 250. I really don't know what I SHOULD set the TP at but it is working fine (???).
I think that some people are more susceptible to nicotine addition than others. The same is true of many substances, alcohol, chocolate, soda and a long list of them. Even certain "behaviors" are addicting to some people which would lead one to think that they are more susceptible to anything even remotely addictive. I am not disparaging addiction in any way, especially having been addicted to cigarettes for fifty years myself.
The fact that cigarettes were/are modified, chemically, to enhance the effects of nicotine on the brain could easily result in someone who is slightly more susceptible to become "dependent". Again, if it was the highly addictive substance it is normally portrayed as, what ethical research group or peer review team would even consider, let alone permit, using it in research on humans except maybe in a totalitarian regime?
On another note, I got shipping notification of the titanium I ordered and am waiting, impatiently, for it to get here. I'm trying, hard, to hold off rebuilding with Ni200 again.

Well steam engine now has some titanium wires listed as options. You can find out the heat flux quite easily. Not sure how you can figure out the temp though.

awsum,
If they used people like me they would have no problem proving everything on the planet is addictive and I am not joking. I have the most addictive personality I have ever heard of. Alcohol, Nicotine, Pills not to exclude aspirin and Ice-cream.
Considering you mentioned Vape Mail I am sure my postman thinks I am addicted to hiding behind the bushes by the mail box.
PS - I guess I should modify this post and state that all the vicious addictions i.e. Alcohol, Pills and Ice Cream are in remission and Nicotine is being taken care of via vaping. Didn't want anyone to get the wrong ideas from my post.

Yeah, I forgot to mention being seriously addicted to vape mail myself, and left ice cream (YUM!) off my list, too.
I think setting your temp limit based on your "idle temp" is a good idea. E-liquid knows where it wants to balance out the heat in /heat out and we know that's a good safe temp point..so add a few degrees for the limit temp and go for it. Makes sense to me.
I like big fat coils too but I've been aiming around 4mm. I might have to find a bigger mandreland try your 4.5. One problem I'm going to have to face though is fitting the largest diameter coils in my newest atty. It's a 14mm diameter bottom feeder I picked up to explore squonking. I think I'll have to get something bigger. My fingers/thumbs are just way to big to coil that puppy no matter how good the vape.

A t.m.c. (tensioned micro coil) presents the tightest contact possible for electrical pulsed oxidation of KA1 wire coils. With closest turn-to-turn proximity it is then feasible to obtain the most consistent oxidation possible. Enough to support high power output without shorting. When wound in a uniform state of tension end-to-end so as not to introduce skew or other strain imbalance it will evidence no hot spots whatsoever and will respond to pulsing quickly to an insulated state for low power. Continued ascending low voltage pulsing will materially enhance insulation discernably adding to the practical power handling capacity of the wind. A deep uniformity of insulation is entirely possible as evidenced by this photograph…
In a sense the very geometry of a t.m.c. serves as an important indicator of distorting strain in our winds and their set (termination).
I can think of no better baseline or metric than to teach new vapers how to perfect the balancing of strain in our coils to ensure consistent performance and temperature. We effectively mitigate thermal variation in our winds and we can more practically estimate mean temperature operating conditions. As well enjoy the benefits to our vape of a stable complete circuit.
Good luck all!
I got my mandrel from Tony. He was kind enough to send me an M5 CCW & CW eye bolts from a metric turnbuckle. I searched all over this country and could find anything that was CCW which works perfectly on my Lemo 2.
I don't know if my belief is a placebo effect but I swear ever since I decided to try it works as I imagined it would. I don't care how many hits in a row you take you just can't dry that puppy out. One negative that some people may find offensive is with the thick wick at 25 watts is it will occasionally cause a gas bubble in the wick to form and when it lets go it really pops. Doesn't bother me put it might be a problem Vaping around other people especially when they start ducking for cover.
I remember the first time I got that coil fart I dropped my mod, broke the glass in the atty and cursed 7 blue streaks. It still startles me to this day but I hold my mods tighter.I got my mandrel from Tony. He was kind enough to send me an M5 CCW & CW eye bolts from a metric turnbuckle.

I have been conducting a rather extensive exchange of email with your friend Pedro Carvalho and have thoroughly enjoyed the interchange. He seems like a very "stand up" guy who had the misfortune through assumptions to be associated with negativity.
I think you, I and the whole vaping community are lucky to have him address issues of interest in the future. He is indeed a conservative fellow with respect to public statements but I do not think he ever intends to endorse extremist views no matter where they might come from.
