0.5 ohm = 0.25 mm
1.0 ohm = 0.20 mm
1.5 ohm = 0.17 mm
But let's wait for an official measurement by Vasilis

Rebuilt Ithaka after 1 week of use with 1.0 Ti wire. Performance was great all week with wick slowing down towards end of week. I usually get 1 week out of the old ready wires with silica. The coil looked the same as always, black gunk built up on coil and silica looking pretty clean.
This rebuild is the same as last one, single coil 1.0Ti, two 2mm silica wicks going all the way down the channels of Ithaka. Taste great from the first hit. The Ti wire is a little easier to work with. It was easy to wrap and adjust coil.
I also rebuilt a Ithaka update and Penny V2 with KGD cotton and 1.0Ti wires. Both of these I cut the cotton mostly even with channels but left a few strands going down the channels. All three of these setups are working great and taste great too.
I am really liking these wires, mostly for the taste. I have some .5's coming and may use the 1.5's for some dual coils.

I did a dual coil with 2 of the 1.5 wires.
My wires seem to read higher than the stated though, the 1ohm came out to 1.3 ohms. Anyone else get that?

I got some Grade 1 Titanium wires and make one single coil of 30awg with 10 loops on a 2mm rod to get 0.63 and 0.67 from two ohm meters (the hana mod is reporting 1.1ohm). Im using japanese cotton KGD and the flavor is amazing. The vape is cooler than expected, maybe I have to try less loops on my next setup.

Yes same here. all my wires are roughly 0.5 ohms higher than advertised value.
Don't think I saw the non-welded titanium wires available in ESG.
Are they sold out or they are not being sold yet?

Hello friends
the titanium wires in spools of 10 meters finally arrived.
Here is the link :
Wires-Wick-guru-en
I hope you like them
I would also like to inform you that because of a bigger batch that I ordered for the titanium ready wires I have manage a better price and that means a better price for you also now the titanium ready wires cost is 0.50 €
Thank you

I'm sure I saw this elsewhere, but can these be wrapped as micro coils (or contact coils), or should they have spacing?

Why is this? Just curious. I always thought the same with Kanthal coils as well thinking that touching coils would cause a short. But it turned out not the be the case. Some say it doesn't short because of the ozidization on the coils but I would argue that an un oxidized micro coil is typically just about the same resistance as an oxidized coil at least on my multimeter. Some will say that it doesn't short because electricity travels the path of least resistance and even though the coils are touching on a micro coil there is still less resistance traveling the length of the wire.
So I would think it should be the same with Titanium wires unless there is a reason there is less resistance jumping from coil to coil in titanium vs traveling the length of the wire.
BTW I am not trying to be argumentative I am just a curious person.
Touching coils without oxidation is a short. The recommendation not to make coils touching is to avoid pre oxidation of wire, but from experience that is bound to happen anyways.
If you are not having a short that means either they are not touching enough or they are oxidized already. You can try that with using a ceramic tweezer and press the coil while dry firing the first time. You will keep on getting shorts for a loooong while.

Odd that isn't my expierence at all. I don't dry burn my coils. I use the compression twist method to make my coils and to the naked eye they appear to all be touching. Once mounted I squeeze them again (without firing) then wick and every time the resistance is the same throught the process from mounted through wicked and working. I have also tested pre mounted resistance to the same result except a .1-.2 difference that I normally account to the atty it is mounted on since my torched wires do the same thing. I have seen resistance changes with time or heat but not a drastic change from off the mod untorched to shortly after being mounted and in use.
Be that as it may I am only testing for my own curiosity so if my findings are wrong for what reality should be I will call it small gaps in the coil or maybe my kanthal came pre torched?
That being said I am still curious as to why a different procedure is required for titanium? If we assume that my coils are oxidizing while wicked and in use why wouldn't the titanium do the same thing? Is it because the resistance on titanium is less stable? Or is it simply because titanium doesn't oxydize in the same way?
Again just curious I always said a day where nothing is learned is a day wasted.
BTW I will be ordering some titanium for testing next time I place an order with ESG I just havn't had the need to order anything. Hopefully it will be in stock when I do
Also this place is SLOOOOOOWWWWWW then Imeo is on vacation lol

nothing can be said.As for why titanium coils shouldn't touch, actually imeo is against all touching even with kanthal. But it is now that it was brought up.
long story short - they should not touch because of a short / they should not be oxidised ....
but if you manage to do it without burning the wire and without a short...
there you go...

Well your experience is your experience

Well it [adhesion] is fortunately for the rest of us the best and easiest means to achieve the most optimal efficiency for a wind as nature will allow. No shorts means less heat but more uniform distribution of energy and so vaporization. That is to say, a cooler operation as a result. Ergo, less risk from all those nasty things lurking in the shadows.
Sometimes mother nature is benevolent.
Good luck.
just received the wires from ESG and wanted to share my first impressions
I ordered 26,28,30 and 32G wires, they all comes on a spool that is itself enclosed in a clear case, and all spools have a small indent to block the wire. All spools are clearly labeled, with the thickness in both mm and AWG units ... spotless packaging
Now the wires ... I've made a first coil with 28G (my prefered kanthal diameter), and the first surprise is how this alloy hold the shape! Not springy at all!! Almost a tender alloy. I made 12 wraps to end with an exact 1ohm resistance on my ithaka v2.
I wicked it with some rayon, and vaped some ESG unflavored 100% VG. The taste? A tastebud equivalent of the sound of silence ... nothing, nada, no taste whatsoever, wich is what i was expecting: no metal taste, no wick taste, no flavoring taste
I like these wires a lot !! Thanks ESG .
