Now this sounds like just what I have been hoping for. Has anyone checked it for exact thickness.
i like the free shipping and i was running low on 26 ga so...
thanks for the tip!
thanks for the tip!
I haven't verified the thickness of the wire I've received, but I've compared it to Kanthal and can see no difference in thickness like I've noticed with some of my other Grade 1 Ti wires. I'll make a note to test it out Monday in the lab (I work in the materials science/chemical field) and post up the results.
Well I got the cleaned Unkamen working good again by turning the TCR up to 370 on my SX vapes like it did the first time now. Not sure why it's like that but I'm really looking forward to the Temco stuff.
Well I got my Temco Ti and I am trying a 6 wrap 24awg 3mm coil. I couldn't get over how dull of a color it was. It's even duller then Unkamen but it seems smooth. Not sure if I like the 24 yet it's really stiff not springy. The resistance was right on at .19 but it seems to have a taste to it to me. It is really clean no black marks after wiping it with alcohol. Not sure if I like the 24 pretty warm for me. I will try the 26 tomorrow. It's like a real light grey color.

Thanks for the update. Springy is not what I was hoping for, got plenty of that. One of the reasons I like my 24 gauge Rio Grande Ti, I don't have to spend time annealing it. My Temco order should come soon. Oh well, at least it's from a trusted USA vendor, not overpriced G2 alloys.
Well it's another day and this Temco Ti seems really good today. I am using a little lower temp and Joules. Lots of vapor and tastes clean today. The 24 was a little hard to place with 6 wraps on my STM but I got it. Very easy to form and doesn't spring back. Like I say it doesn't look like any Ti I have gotten before. It's almost a white color like white with grey. It really holds its shape. I am running it now at 14J 410F Powerful+ which seems to heat it up fast. Not such a warm vape that way. I was really surprised getting 6 wraps of 24 on the STM but it holds its shape so well when you put a little bend in it stays. I like it. Think I was just tired last night.
Sounds good. Its grey and dull because its acid pickled. Sounds like its nicely annealed too!
I think you will like it. Definately not G2 the way it ohms out perfectly with SE better then Unk or CW just a funny color from what I'm used to but like I say don't know what process they use to make it or anneal it. I know the other wires they make are right on also.
IDK if it is acid washed Steve. It's not rough like Unk its smooth just dull color. Absolutely nothing when wiped with IPA.
my roll of 26 ga came today from temco. it's annealed for sure and very clean. it looks to have a smoother finish than the TA1 wire i have. maybe it won't gunk as much. very nice to work with, altho i've only ever coiled ti wire. i have a 9 wrap @2.5 mm in my stm waiting to go when i need to change tanks. it's easy to stretch to make a slightly spaced coil.

I see that it is heat treatment annealed also some of them say oxygen annealed not sure about that.
Yep it's definately nice to work with have you ever seen any that is the color or finish this is. That is what I was trying to explain even though it is dull it is smooth not rough like the acid washed stuff
It took me about half a tank before it didn't taste different but that could've been the KGD now after 2 tanks it is really good some of the best I have tried.
When I say good all the Ti I have tried the juice has a good flavor but with some it comes through more then others. And vapor production seems a little different with different ones.
New cotton can tank a tank or more to break in. Titanium should have NO flavor, one of its many PLUSES!
