Is it possible you actually have 24g? According to steam-engine a .16 with 3mm and 26g would be 7 wraps. 24g 10 wraps 3mm ID would be about .15.

Yes sir, indeed you are correct. I went to my wire box just now and checked and it is 24 ga. Advancing alsheimers I guess. I had made these coils 3 weeks ago and somehow I got 26 ga lodged in my memory. Sorry for the mix up. Anyway it is working very wetland I have been liking this build quite a bit in the Velocity. I am vaping the same juice in a Doge with Kanthal on a 150 Sigelei box, a Zephyr Buddha with SS on a parallel box and a TFV4 on the X-Cube II and the Velocity with Ti on an Evic TC. The velocity give the very best flavor of that lot. It is an RDA that I would want if I had to move to a desert island.
Well this is the answer I got about a FW update.
Patrick,
Thank you for your email.
Really sorry that we are not sure about it.If we have upgrade file, we will put it on our website.
Kind regards!

I finally got around to completing the necessary modifications to the last Fogger V6 I bought, air flow, over-drilled post holes and coil screws ground flat on the business end. I've been using an ErlK clone with a nickel coil on my low tank DNA40 and really wanted to get titanium on it in the Fogger, so today was the day and it turned in to "one of those days".
The zivipf wire has got to be the dirtiest stuff available. My fingers were black getting it cleaned. I wound a 3mm coil, after a little "tempering" and it went fine. The next coil just wouldn't wind, no matter what I did it was like a spring. I finally got it wound and mounted on the posts. Then I mounted that first one and they just didn't look right.
Turns out I had grabbed a spool of 28 gauge, what I wanted to use, for the first coil. Then, with interruptions in the process, grabbed 30 gauge for the second coil. So, more cleaning, tempering and winding to "get 'er done".
It was well worth the effort and frustration though. I'm really enjoying it at 380F and 22 watts with my DIY all day flavor right now, and producing clouds and a half, LOL. I've got to order some Unkamen in 28 and 26 though and leave this zivipf stuff for emergency use only.

Which company did you ask about what FW update? I did look back but can't see it in the last few pages.
I think it is out in space with the new ML coming out.2legs where can we find the final update?
Just tried the controlled dry burn method again and I love it... Pulse away without worrying getting any TiO2 formed.
I did however notice that if I keep pressing the fire button, the dna 200 does regulate down the power but you can actually see the coil flashing like a turning signal.
Kinda weird since I expected the regulation being much. faster but you can definitely see the coil glow pulsing slowly (like once a second)

I did that too yesterday when I was changing a wick. Went into a bathroom with no windows, and it was very faint but it did the job!
I set my Ti coil to Ni200 mode, and had it at about 280C. Seemed the perfect temp for the the Ti.
Good idea. I've tried to use Ti mode at max temp (600F) and it's not enough to get a glow even in a dark room. I think we need around 800F (425°C) to get a decent mild glow on Ti.
Oh, I definitely got the idea in this thread, or the other one. Wish I could take credit for those kinda smartz.
I use the method mentioned on the thread
TCR = 0.007
Temperature = 300C (real about 580C)
That's around 1076F

Thanks to the OP and everyone contributing to the thread I took the plunge and started my foray into the TC build world with titanium. Here's my first attempt at a titanium build. 26awg/30awg 9 wrap 7/64" diameter dual clapton build. Resistance is 0.21 ohms. The coils were dry fired in an argon purged container at 45 watts. Note the lack of color and still having shine to the wire on the wicked coils after getting an even glow out of them due to the inert atmosphere they were fired in.
So my questions are; Is higher or lower resistance than 0.21 ohms working better for people on a sx mini m class? And also is a lager diameter wire preferred over a smaller one using tight coils? I'm already thinking about the next build trying a twisted or parallel core in the clapton but would like some opinions on this from some people with some time behind the wheel of a few titanium builds as I find working with the brittle/springy nature of titanium to be slightly frustrating.

Wowser, for some who finds
That is one AWESOME looking set of Ti Claptons! Congrats! I can't help but notice the slight oxidation at the post. Oxygen pocket in the post?

@LouisLeBeau Thanks and good eye! I figured the same thing. I will have to move the mod around a little next time to get all trapped air out whenever I am tuning a new set of coils. I would have liked 32awg or even 36awg to clapton with but 30awg is all I could find locally.
