Ff is just rayon made by tree huggers and sterilized before bagging.
Is it expensive? Compared to Sally sure is. Is it a rip off? Don't know, it will last you months for what? 4 or 5 bucks? I used to pay 2.50 for 3 feet of Ekowool...
I have Sallys and tidi balls. Works good enough for me.

Titanium went to the garbage bin. It's unusable.Titanium arrived. I'm out for some coiling

Advice: always make your vendor check 100% what grade of titanium you're buying.
This thing isn't grade 1 nor 2 or any grade for that matter. I'm 99% sure it's titanium ready from ESG
It reads 1.1 Ohms for 10 wraps with a 2.5mm id. Grade 1 should be around 0.68 and grade 2 around 0.81
What a waste of time...
Now wait for my other titanium reels... Should be here any day...
Back to nickel in the meanwhile

Do what I say, don't do what I do lol.
Anyway, it was a risk since the beginning. I knew the 28 and 30 was certified grade 1 but since I was ordering nic base from another supplier and he happen to have 29awg (0.30mm) Ti in stock, and said it was either grade 1 or 2, I took the chance. Both should be ok for temp protection.
What I got however is not. Tp mode works without a wick but with a wick it will burn it to ashes even at 200F and once you soak the wick, the mod will kick you out of TP mode. Unusable.

Your balls are tidi? Might be time to switch from nickel back to kanthal.
I was thinking in just drinking the eLiquid and be over with it. No mod expenses, no temperature problems, no coiling or wicking... Best of all worlds [emoji14]

"And cotton Bacon is just...cotton" You're a funny guy.
ff is not rayon. It has been studied and been made especially for vaping purpose. I have tried both and i can say ff is far better in every aspect of wicking properties.
Don't try to say other are foul on subject you don't even know.
You didn't even watch carefully the pics in the post about ff, because at the first sight anybody can judge ff is not rayon.
Btw, you didn't even read the post because if you did, you would have solved your titanium issue since the link i put to buy ff also provide titanium wire from gauge 19 to 34 and numerous other kind of wire and wicking material.
You want to die like an idiot in order to be sarcastic. Good for you.

From the FF website:
Sorry, but that IS rayon.
Lyocell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yup, cellulose fiber made from wood. That's rayon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon
Now maybe it's a better form of rayon for wicking than the various types of rayon that we're used to, but to say that's "not rayon" is flat out wrong.
But we digress because this thread is about titanium coils, not wicking materials.
I hope you're not talking to me.
Anyway, rayon comes in many shades with different names but it comes all from the same source. Call it viscose, rayon, cellucotton, lyocell it's all the same.
What fiber freaks did was pick the same base material and process it differently.
It's not some kind of magic. It's still rayon.
I know where to get FF and I suppose anyone on this thread knows it too.
What density are you using btw, 1 or 2?

Yeah well, my titanium wire was a big fail today. However it was interesting to perceive the tenacity of titanium (even as an alloy). After tightening down the deck screws, I usually wiggle the excess leg a little until it breaks off (ni200 and kanthal). It usually doesn't take more than 4 or 5 movements and it's off. It's even a good method to make sure the legs are well tightened down.anyway, about that Ti stuff.....
With titanium however, it took me a full minute or two to make that flimsy wire break. It's well more tenacious/resilient than I imagined.
Really a shame it is the wrong stuff though. I almost had tears in my eyes when I turned on my ohm meter and read 1.08 Ohms

here are some sources for some Ti wire on this page.
I have real titanium wire on my way. My impatience made me try to save some time which was my flaw
Thx for the link though

I never do that. It almost always causes me problems. I usually just snip the excess (kanthal I'm talking about here)
Sorry for my off topic comment, back to titanium!
I know what you mean but wiggling tells me if I'm not tightened down enough i.e. if not, the coil moves around a bit..
