Hmmmm...
Don't know. It would be great if you had something to compare to but I have dry burned both zivipf's and stealthvape's and the coil doesn't change form ever.

Although this one is vaping great came out at .27 but I have noticed that as I vape it for a while the resistance drops down to about .25 and the taste is great.
I think it was my fault I think when I placed it there was inward tension on the coil and I heated it too much and it softened enough to pull it together. My other coils haven't done that but I heated this one more. Going to give it another try.
Just checked a few articles and it seems that like most materials, both Ti and ni expand with heat. Ni expands more than Ti so if that's really a heating side effect, you should be able to replicate it with a ni coil.
I still find it odd :/

Wait! I have a theory!
How do you tighten down the coil in your atty? Clockwise or counter clockwise? On which atty did you experience this?
For example, on a erlkonigin, when you tighten down the coil clockwise, the coil is under expanding tension, it's being pulled apart. So in theory, as you dry burn it, it becomes softer and the energy that is holding the wraps is lost and the wraps go more apart.
In case of a counterclockwise method of holding down the coil, the effect is opposite as there is tension inward the coil. Once heated, the wraps will want to come together... This would explain what you're seeing.

Yep it was counter clockwise this one is clockwise. You got it.
Plus this one I pulsed at 5J 212 enough to get that little puff off of it. Everything stayed good. Live and learn.
I was experimenting. Experiment failed. I am using an STM all I use anymore. They work great.
I knew it wasn't the wire I have been really liking this stuff.
Thanks Tony. How's the stuff from SV. I went with Vape Mesh and it is really good. only took a week to get here and even with the shipping it was cheaper then even Sweet Vape super duper ,I can use a mechanical on this, stuff let alone spider silk.
My stealthvape Ti seems to be great. It's softer (much!) than zivipf but the most important for me is that it's clean and shiny... I like shiny 
I don't need to anneal this one to make a nice coil which is a plus.

aww bloody hell...now I have to get the stealthvape wire and retire the zivipf and crazy wire Ti (also pretty springy to my mind) along with all my Ni and kanthal...jeez I could open a wire shop...
Yeah, join the club... I have a bag full of spools... Kanthal, ni 200, silver, Ti, etc
The stealthvape Ti is half hard ie it not in the softest possible state but soft enough to wind with the wire barely wanting to go back on the mandrel. If you have zivipf's you know what happens when you let go the wire on a mandrel [emoji14]

to be honest, if it works well, then I will probs just use 26g for everything and 10m will last a very long time, even with a dozen atty's to feed..!!
ive got some 24g stuff like the unkamen jewellery wire which is nice and soft and really easy to work. I'll need the 26g for my GEM which has a really small build deck - 24 is just too big to get a decent spaced build in there!!
