my opinion is to use the same width of wires and just make longer coils. That way you will have more heating space

aal, thinner wires of nichrome or kanthal give worse taste because they have small coverage on wick. You dont have this issue with titanium because its coverage is double. But for even better taste to my opinion, use the same width as you used with nichrome and make longer coils. That way you will have the best of both worlds
i will get all 3 types. i wished the 0.5 was 0.32mm and the 1 and 1.5 ohms 0.25. I will experiment with the 3 and make some twisted and normal coils. Thanks.

Didn't even know about titanium wires until a few hours ago. My short tour accross the internet leads me to believe this is overhyped and likely to be overpriced. Heres some quick bullets.

This stuff has been around for like 2 years in the vaping community. I'ts not new and isnt putting kenthal to rest.
This stuff catches on fire with a regular cig lighter. Real safe people.
Can get 5 meters for dirt cheap at Biriecig. Only $3 shipping! Equiv to 30 gage.
Seems it's more of a tinker thing then a legit vape. You can google but here will give decent idea.

So my short excursion I'm passing on this.

I think ESG web site is having issues. I put items in my cart and when I try to check out it says out of stock. Can't be out of stock because I've been refreshing every minute or so since I got billypapa's e-mail notification saying my items were in stock. I'm sure ESG website is getting pounded with users right now, I just hope I'll be able to get my order in before they really do sell out:facepalm:

Same for me when I was about to check out my v3 short which was on the chart was gone and I was signed in as well . I hope they can do something . there were plenty spares to check so at least once item is in basket, being signed in , I understand its yours.:facepalm:

If you still have things in your cart that are available you should make the transaction now and not wait. I don't think that just because you have it in your cart, it guarantees that item to you. I think you have to pay for it before it's yours.
I just checked and stuff that I was able to purchase earlier does indeed show to be out of stock now.

Hey buddy. Thanks for the advice earlier. So it seems that among other things the steel window is out of stock. Sold out incredibly fast. I'm going to order the plastic window and send yours back asap. Glad to hear you were able to get what you wanted:)

Well this is the way I see it . Imagine you enter a self service and you pick up a tray and start filling it up with goods , your still on the line before you pay , because you are still adding more food , and no one is going to pick up whatever is in my tray , right ? Thats the way i understand it . once you are inside the shop whatever you put in your basket is yours . Considering the fact that I'm a customer ( on my 60s already , so not really fast ) 15 min. for more then 30 items is not that bad I guess .

I have a brand new extra Ithaka's SS window that I could send to River if you guys agree (for free, of course).

River, I know I have your address somewhere, but could you send me it again please?

You are right, but the main difference here is that in a supermarket once you have them in the cart you cannot walk out for a week and then come back to pay for them. In online shopping your cart stays with you as long as you don't delete it and it is not feasible to keep them reserved for u without payment. Unfortunately that's how e-shopping works and yes it is not ideal.

Thats simple to do I think . A reasonable time and after expires a short advice that you have to check out , same alert that said one of items was deleted .
