Titanium wire, vaping and safety

[Croak]

Just built it that way to keep the coils high up and the same height.

What is the advantage of having one coil high and one coil lower?

Would it be better flavor? Would it create more vapor?

Using the same post holes was a simple build. Fed them in, held them tight to the posts and torqued then tweaked and fiddled.

I could do that build no problem but way more of a hassle having to bend up and bend down the horizontal coil leads to hit both posts woth out distorting the coil...No? I could see it on a vertical coil build but still the same problem and if you want your coils mounted higher, the bottom post hole leads would keep the coil too low without having to have a 7mm lead...plus, the post holes are like 5mm post holes...I mean you could drive a Mac Truck through them. You could do dual Claptons through the same two post holes[emoji13]

It's actually EASIER to keep the coils at the same height with the bottom/top method, it has more mechanical stability, better connection, AND it has shorter legs, EVEN legs. On your build above, your bottom leg is about a third of a wrap longer than your top. That's kind of a big deal in TC builds (Kanthal, not so much). Finally, you can build one side at a time, get it tight, and then do the other, since you're not sharing post holes, which makes for tighter, cleaner builds, with the shortest legs possible.

Doing it like the picture below, the legs just naturally go into the upper or lower holes, straight shot. If you want the coils higher, no problem, it'll move closer to the posts when you lift it but it won't make for longer legs. Same in reverse if you want them lower.

now that my tc issue on the evic is solved,well has been for a while now
i am going insane on wicking issues,ive read here some people wicks last longer than weeks.
i still rewick like every 2 days,.

(i am using a dripper)

how do i wick this thing?

current settings are 570f
@75watts
10 wraps of 24awg/titanium

dry fired 10 watts,color blue when i made the coil
microcoiled.
3mm guide..

Great build. Those beasts actually fit into the chamber?
So 26g single core, 36g clapton?
Or 24g/36g?...34g?
And like I said, your coil height is limited. Those coils look like they would line up midpoint with the airholes. I like airflow from way underneath the coil center.

 

[Croak]

That's a Velocity in the picture. But amigo, like I said before, the coils will lift to nearly the top of the post, or almost down to the deck rim, mount them and then adjust height as you like. But if you like airflow from underneath that much, one might suggest the Cthulu V2 instead of the Aromamizer.

Gotcha....put this on my Aroma with your inspiration and DAYUM...it's unreal. Thanks for the idea! Dual vertical, single core clapton 26/36, 3MMid, hits like a bus at 50 jiggawatts and flavor phenomenal. All 4 airholes wide open at 45 degree angles to the coils. Build was a pita but well worth it. I will try horizontals next. Again, sweet build you posted. Thanks again!

Damn I sure love this Ti my little simple 5 wrap coils cleaned a couple today for the second time. The coils are about 1 1/2 months old and vape like new.

Spaced or compressed? How are you cleaning?

 

[2legsshrt]

Spaced and I just use hot tap water and a denture brush. Denture brush is a little stiffer then a toothbrush and has a little pointy brush on one side. I always make sure I've used it within 10 or so minutes of cleaning.

I'm assuming you mean using the coil and not the brush! lol

No I use the brush after for my dentures

Hey guys I wanted to pass on some useful info to put to use on wire wizard as to what the mm measurement for Unkamen 26g. is Ralph the store owner replied with 0.398mm

 

[Cacique]

I was hoping some of you experienced Ti vapers could give me some recommendations here. I'm brand new to TC, got myself an IPV D2 and grabbed some 26G Spider Silk wire. I tried building my Cthulhu with a .2 ohm, 2.5mm 10 wrap dual coils and I got a few good hits, but for the most part it had weak taste and vapor and it tasted like the wick burned after a while.

Any chance someone can recommend me a good build and settings for a TC build? I only got 26g to work with now but I'd like some more suggestions, I'm open to getting more wire. I have a Cthulhu v1 that I'm hoping to use, but also got a Smok TFV4 with the single and dual RBA decks. If you're not familiar with the IPV D2, I got 10-50J and temp limit is 100-300C or 212-572F.

Thanks in advance!

But it sounds like your wicking is not keeping up.

First up try a single coil. 26g is a good choice, maybe 6-8 wraps around 2.5mm would be a good place to start! Duals can be tricky. Ti mode on IPV D2 works well. Get the build right and she will treat you well. Let us know how you get on and if any more questions, ask away!!!

if the wicking isnt keeping up that shouldnt result in burnt hits!!!

Haha, I was thinking dry hits...... Bourbon Friday.....

Thanks for the replies, I use Steam Engine to figure out most of builds, works great.

I use rayon for wicking, so I usually wick pretty snug. Should I wick differently? Could also be I didn't wick it snug enough lol. I'll try wrapping a simple single coil for my TFV4 and see if that works any better and play with the wicking on the Cthulhu.

Well I don't think I'll be leaving this thread in the near future. I can hear the moans from here. Tried the NiFe48 from Zivipf and since I'm a flavor chaser and I think I get the best flavors in the world from Russia at least till Germany makes some stupid laws they are working on. The NiFe didn't do it for me. The Ti does I love it and the flavor it gives. Maybe it is because I am a simple coil builder or haven't figured out what I'm doing in 6 years but I like Ti much better. So far. I might try again tomorrow but I tried a 6 wrap 2.5mm 26awg contact coil which was very good at the start but after 3 tanks on my STM it lost it's flavor and vapor. My simple Ti coils last 3 weeks and I have to brush them under hot water but my month old coils Ti that have been cleaned once were far better for me. I guess it's different strokes for different folks. So now I have 2 10m coils of 26awg NiFe48 minus about 6" on one. Live and learn for now I'm sticking to Ti. If the NiFe had kept working like it did when the coil was new then maybe but after 1 day it lost it's umph for me. Lots of people like it better then Ti and more power to them but not for me.

Give SS430 a shot, I really like how it works.

$10 for 200' at Unkamen.

I'm liking SS 316 as much as TI. Only been vaping it for a few days but the flavor is outstanding and the coils seem to react much like the TI as far as durability and ease to work with.
