Yes - it does "eventually" say that. In the last line of text. But most people, I think, know that VIR is already will within sight, and that Titanium wire is required. Natural enough to think that Titanium wire is being sold.
Clicking on ESG Titanium wire brings up this page:

This says Titanium wire - it does not say alloy.
It is from this page that the order can be placed - which I did. I "thought" I was ordering what was written here - Titanium wire...
Have a look at one earlier post in this thread too. :laugh:

It should be clearer - earlier on - that this is still an alloy...
I'm happy for all of the smug experts who seem to know all the answers - and for those who "liked" the response.
It is only money after all...

no offense meant dear Dontknow ... I'm in too good mood to fight over this wire composition that has been debated in this loooong thread :)
It's not G1 but it's a good wire, I hope you can find use of it on other mods.

It's not "pure" titanium wire... it's not G1 or G2 or G42... it's "esmokeguru" titanium wire and Vasillis announced his components at 09-18-2014


Hi friends,
the e-smokeguru titanium wire is a special alloy and includes:
Titanium grade 2, Aluminium, nickel, chrome and iron.

We have until now very good feedback from all customers.

Thank you
Vassilis

Hello!.. :) can you gimme some info so i dont have to get busy reading 80 pages plse... i saw a while a go some people were concerned with the safety of using platinum, or is this something and nothing?

is it soft like nichrome or softer?

i have my eye on some GR1 is that the right one?

and is there a ohms/m list of dif gauges? or hows it compare to nichrome or kanthal of same gauge?

cheers

Slippy,

You mean titanium, not platinum right?

If you want to use titanium on a conventional mod (without temperature limitation) get ESG's alloy; it doesn't oxidize like pure titanium does if you should overheat it. If you want to use on on a mod that limits or controls temperature based on the wire's change of resistance with temperature, then you'll need pure titanium.

The Steam Engine calculator has resistivity data for just about every coil material that's ever been used.

i didnt realise it was in the Steam calculator, yes i ment titanium :) was a longlong day.
looking at how many wraps ya need for the ohms it seems it would be better used on a reg device, i have the sigelei but do anyone use it succesfully on a mech

I was wondering if anyone has tried wrapping a porous ceramic wick with Ti wire in a genny yet, and if so what were the challenges and advantages.

Yep !

Zivipf.de titanium wires coiling a porous ceramic wick in my Athea IN'AX Nano, only noticeable advantage is one wrap added while keeping same resistance. . Heat could may be achieved slightly quicker than a kanthal D wire, but unsure of this statement. While more prompt to break at same diameter, the titanium tend to 'scratch' more the ceramic wick than a kanthal wire does, no/less than mesh residus under coil with both wires. The porous ceramic, liked a mesh in genesis well coiled, act like a full lenght coil, pre-heating the juice, but keep even better the heat in 'chain' vaping.
The taste is so pure wathever is the coil with this incredible device, i cannot note further difference, to be honest.. ;) with its ability to retain strictly zero previous taste when dry, its my device of choice for testing my DIY juices

Hi, Corona ...could you tell me where you buy the ceramic wicks for the nano at and are the wicks hard to get a hold of and are they expensive.

the wicks are made specificaly for the nano, I doubt they can be used for anything else but you can find them here for example: supercigs.eu/our-brands/athea/teflon-replacement-for-in-ax-hybrid-mkll-3454]CERAMICS for IN'AX NANO - ATHEA - OUR BRANDS

Thanks Monkkx...it seems the nano didn't make too much of an impression on the vape world...they seem to have faded away.

just got my hands on some 21g Ti, the cool down is super fast, i had thought i made a mistake getting such low resistance but i'm really happy with it, i'm running it on a dual parallel 18650 mod, 7 wraps dual coil on 1/8 id 0.08Ω, atty stays super cool compared to any other wire i've used at the same range :)

anyone else using thick Ti?
