Sorry I skimmed over the previous posts and didn't quite understand the use of the insulator. I assumed it was for the coil beings thermal transfer was a consideration for the material type.
On a second note did you ever get an opportunity to look at the Motörhead ideas I sent a while back?

I'd try it with aluminum first...lot less work to mill then Ti.
Here is what I'd be curious about:
An anodized aluminum tube with tiny holes perforated in it kind of like an old style machine gun barrel. My theory on it is kind of long but I think it might work better. Just a thought.
One for the Illuminati...
Whoops here it is
These are beautiful!! Gratz guys!
And Happy Thanksgiving! We'll be heading to Syracuse in about an hour to spend the holiday with Timmy's folks. =)
Aluminum is cheaper , easier to machine, and most commonly anodized. Only thing is when heated it releases impurities as well is a contributor of Alzheimer's.
High grade aluminum alloys become costly and become harder to work with. It just comes down to an individuals taste. I'd gladly pay more for a safer alternative.
As far as working Ti, Faceless is tooling up to work it with the 14500 and wouldn't be any extra expense or difficulty to work a thin wall tubing providing he can find it with an ID around 3mm to fit a wick

Best candidate of Ti tubing I've found has an OD of .2500" (6.35mm) a wall thickness of .0420 ( 1.0668mm ) and an ID of .166" (4.2164mm). This would require a rework of an iHy atty to accommodate a thicker wick.
At $ 76.80 for a 48" stick it would be a pretty expensive insulator albeit a permanently reuse able one.

Thats just awesome. I am thankful to be accepted in this thread and for all that this community provides to new and veteran vapors
Thank you all happy thanksgiving you are all amazing.

OK - finally got a little breather where I could snap off some shots of the Red Dragon LE:
Porting a tiny tube would be a very labor intensive feat. The softness of aluminum would further increase the difficulty. The easiest route would be to cut sections off an anodized tube of the desired length. To make something like this work you would have to use a very small piece maybe .25-.30 " in length and use a very hot coil 3/4 wrap to generate the heat needed to vaporize juice. Then balancing the heat applied to the heat transferred would require trial and error to eliminate acrid hot spotting of the coil.
That red looks great! Is the HR is this same shade of red? I'll hopefully be getting one (HR).
HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
I'm thankful for all the people on this forum willing to help us new guys (and gals). I'm thankful for being on my 9th day without smoking (just vaping!) and I'm thankful we are all in good health and living longer thanks to people like Faceless who make PVs/juices.
Hope you all have a great day and some great food! I know one thing, I'll be coming home about 10lbs heavier. LOL

Happy thanksgiving all! I posted earlier, but no response really. Is it ok to use 28g with a 18350? And why? Thanks everyone.
Yes and no.
It has little to do with the wire and a lot to do with the ohms. If you don't really know what you're doing then I'd stay away from it. No one can tell you in blanket it's ok. You roll a .4 ohm coil and fire it on a 18350 and you can have some pretty bad results. Larger batteries have significantly more amp draw and are safer for low ohm coils.
28 is a very low ohm wire.
So if you know what you're doing it's ok. If not then I wouldn't use it on any battery.
It isn't the gauge of the wire that matters but the resistance of the coil itself.
The 700mah 18350 has a c rating of 8c.
This equals a maximum discharge rate of 5.6 amps.
A nominal discharged voltage of 2.5v
Better to use 3v as a safe cutoff.
15watts @ 3v = a 5 amp draw. In my opinion this would be the absolute limit I would run the AW IMR 18350 at.
Edit:
This is based on a 1ohm coil.

Phrost that looks amazing. Also, its about freaking time. Lol now get back to your fam have a great day everyone.
Wow that Red looks great!!
Once again. Everyone have a good day. May your day be filled with laughter, lots of food, lots of Vapor, good friends, family time and your team wins today!! See you all later.
