Using NI200

[Paul lamb]

Hi

I use ni200 28g 8/9 wraps and get around .09-.015 ohms, if I was to use 26g would less wraps give me the same ohms

I'm a bit of a noob with builds

26awg would need more wraps being thicker wire. Lower AWG number thicker wire less resistance, higher AWG number thinner wire more resistance.

So 30awg would be 6 wraps (as a guess)?

About there, I use annealed 28awg doing about 12/11 wraps on a 2.5mm, about 0.12 to 0.15 roughly, 30 would probably need a 9/8 or 10/9 to reach it, I'm pretty happy with 28awg myself, 26 would be just another card in the tiring old mental rollodex I don't want to store =D

True, I've been using 28 ni200 for a while now and it works great, I fancy trying titanium but can't find any decent info on it

Titanium Grade 1 (Ti1) is a bit stiffer and heat resilient that Ni200, due to it has more resistance makes for less wraps, also if your mod doesn't have a Ti1 setting you have to decrease your Temp Control down about 100F, ie Ni200 coil generally vaping at 500F you'd have to set it at 400F for Ti1. Only downside I've seen on it, is getting it to hot, it builds an oxidation layer on it, so like Ni200 is a no no to dry fire it, don't want any of that oxide in your vape, but don't quote me on it, believe I read the oxide layer don't form until around 650-700F or a bit higher, most TC mods max out at 600F/300C so under that temp you are fine.

I also use 28 gauge, perfect for me.

I have ni and ti availability on my mods so should be good with out worrying too much
