Titanium grade 1 wire

[Cheker]

been looking into trying titanium grade 1 wire for tc. I read that spider silk is the safest as the others can have coating on?
Really wanna try it but spider silk is not available in the UK where as standard ti grade 1 wire is.

I simple rub down with vodka, moonshine, or everclear before use will clean most machining oil residues and oily coatings. Next would be to gently torch the wire before working with it, just enough to get it to start glowing then rinsing it off.

Wow can't believe I was dumb enough to not think of getting rid of the coating ha! Are the titanium coils easier to dry burn and clean than ni200? I use 30awg ni200 on dual coil and I just re build instead of clean them due to being such a pain!

Titanium has a higher melting point, and is not as soft so easier to work with, pulse fire clean, you just have to be careful not to get it temp where it starts creating a titanium dioxide layer to protect itself, which is just starting to make the coil/wire glow. Haven't used any Ti1 wire yet myself, only 1 TC mod, an older Vaporshark rDNA40, still bouncing around with which TC mod to get next, EvicVT, SnowWolf, or other TC mod that supports Ti1

So does vapour shark rdna 40 not work with ti1 wire? I presumed it would seen as its temp control?

It can I believe, just never tested it out. I have been seriously looking at getting a step up into Ti1 myself the past month, just bouncing features and ideas off my mental white board while doing my own research as well

Oh good that's my work mod them rdna 40's can take some abuse! I know what you mean I'm feeling it's time for a new mod trying to hold out for the dna200 to come out in a few devices.
