MikeE3, what size diameter readyXwick are you using on your Dids? Im leaning towards getting the regular 3mm or the combo pack from Rbasupplies. Also, just wandering how you would compare these to the ceramics were making. Thanks!
Me to mike, specialy when aiming for 1/8 straight accross with out bumps....lol
Anyone remember the dimensions for a KFL Monkey Bar? Or optimal Ohms?
Thank you Gdeal, I've been sitting on some AlOx since the initial run but never got around to shaping a wick. Still need files and power tools but with the advent of Titanium wire we can get 1.8 Ohms with 17 wraps. Which if done correctly should measure out to about 4.5mm coil width using 30 gauge wire (assuming I can get as close to a true 3mm cross bar). It only takes about a foot of wire to make lol. Sourced 200ft of Grade 1 30 gauge for about 30$. Whould you suggest aiming for lower Ohms?
Guys I tried the NR R wire but not on a wick. Sorry didn't have time yet. The problem I tried the 1.5 ohm which I think is 33 gauge 0.18mm and with that gauge it is hard to test my usual coils. So what I did is wrapped a coil around 2mm and stuck it in a dripper. What I noticed is what was mentioned before by Rossum in his blog. The wire heats up fast then turns off quite fast as well. I was running it on a provari which made it harder to know what was happening because the resistance was jumping. I know for sure is that testing the ohms in a provari let's a small amount of current pass through the coil. This small amount of current was making the wire go from 1.5 to exactly to 2.5 ohms when heated. Now when setting it to something like 13 watts the wire was glowing then dull glow. If you blow on it it becomes black and turns off like a candle. It is interesting. As you know a provari doesn't set the watts so it is like a mechanical at a certain voltage. In a variable wattage I would assume that the voltage will increase all the time with the resistance of the coil and might reach the electronics limits. With a mech or provari, actually the behavior from what I saw is desirable in a way. We have seen mods that start off high then lower the watts like the decodes or semovar (not sure). So a Ti wire will give you theoretically the same behavior which might be a nice experience for a change.
Regarding flakes @Rossum and @CaptSteve, I did not have any in mine BUT I don't think it is the grade of Ti but I think we are not reaching the high amounts of power to get these temperatures. For me at least before trying a device that delivers a constant high wattage over a period of time (increasing voltage with resistance), I cannot attribute the absence of the flakes to the type of wire as of yet. I will try soon the 0.5 ohm wire.
