Just got my Ti from 3FVape in China.
I have to say my first impressions are that I'm extremely impressed!
Spool, one wrap of wire, and unmarked IPA-soaked paper towel:
The little tab on the spool - a small but welcome feature:
I have to say my first impressions are that I'm extremely impressed!
- It comes in a protective plastic case. Not something I'll use, but a nice touch.
- The spool has a little tab on it, around which you can wrap the wire to prevent it from coming loose and de-spooling.
- Not seen that before and it's very welcome
- Actually although I've not seen this tab before, I have seen spools before that had anti-unspooling features.
- The Ni200 spools I got from Stealth vape have a little magnet, to which the wire sticks and therefore can't break away and unspool - you can just leave the wire loose and it still stays there.
- I was surprised to see that their Titanium spools didn't have it, until I realised Titanium isn't magnetic!
- The magnet makes sure the wire can never come loose - but at the cost of making it slower to spool out wire when you do want it. This little tab on the Chinese spools aren't an absolute guarantee - and of course you have to remember to wrap it tight around the tab - but they don't slow down spooling. I think overall I prefer the tab, not that there's a choice with Titanium anyway.
- But most impressive, and surprising - the wire is absolutely perfectly clean!
- This is the first time I've had Titanium that's clean.
- Zivipf is dirty as we know. Crazy Wire had a small amount of graphite on it, and so did my Stealth vape spools (though @TheotherSteveS says his are clean, so this might vary by batch)
- So I am super impressed that a $5 spool from China is the first I've seen with no oil, no graphite, no nothing!
