I just ordered a roll of the 316ss, 30gage to play with for when my Berserker rda gets here. I'm a mtl vapor, and really curious about this wire.
The reason they include the Ni80 version is that it will produce a higher resistance than the ss version. In that little Berserker chamber I bet it will get really HOT. Same issue on the Doggy which is why I switched to the Ni80 version on my Doggy. I first tried the ss superfine in the Doggy and it was way to hot for me even trying tc.I just ordered a roll of the 316ss, 30gage to play with for when my Berserker rda gets here.

VV Superfine SS Clapton, with 7 wraps at 2 mm for .57 Ohms has been working well with a variety of E-liquids, either using TC or Wattage modes. In Wattage, depending on the E-Liquid, I am finding a range anywhere from 12 to 16 Watts to do well. I need to order another coil of this stuff soon.Thanks for the info. I like a warm vape but I tried your suggested 16w on one of my doggies with the Ni80 at .79ohm and it is a very HOT vape. Too hot for me. Almost burned me. Only way I can see that is if you are taking a very quick hit. If you draw for 2 seconds at that setting it is going to get really HOT. Unless I am doing something wrong (can't imagine what watts are watts). Are you using Rayon?
Just curious, what tanks are you going to try with this wire?I don't MTL but like a very restricted DTL hit - hoping this will fit my needs well as I've ordered a spool for tomorrow. Realised that whilst I can taste the difference between fused claptons and standard wire I barely notice a difference with any more exotic builds so I can't really justify buying pre made fancy things any longer!
The Ni80 is so springy you can't avoid making spaced coils. I found a simple trick to get the coil into shape. Apply some heat, not much required, and use ceramic tweezers to shape the coil. That is the only way I can imagine making a contact coil out of that stuff. I was able to get a perfect spaced coil with the Ni80 doing that. The SS clapton is much easier to work with and not hard at all to pull a little and push back to make a perfect spaced coil. I find the Ni80 version produces lots of vapor with great flavor. The SS version is also very good but about what I would expect from a clapton in this range. I use them both and like them both.I’ve got the ni80 and SS on the way to play with. Was gonna make 2.5mm coils for the rda berserker. Anyone have experience with spacing it as opposed to contact builds? Pro/cons? I can do TC with the stainless I guess
I also use a rod no coil jig although I own several. This wire does not lend itself to twisting with one of those jigs. I just pull it tight around the rod a few too many turns. Then I pull it tight with some pliers just to get it really snug. After I grab the end with my finger nail and pull while it is still on the rod. Then I push it back until it springs into a spaced coil I am satisfied with. Finally, I grab the ends with pliers. pull and take out 1 or more turns. Sometimes I do this to both side to make it uniform. Since I am going to use it in temperature control I don't worry about the ohms I just build to the size of the deck. Works every time.Okay, I haven’t messed with the ni80 yet, but the SS seems to defy all my attempts at making any sort of reasonable coil, tight or spaced. I have no coil jigs or anything, just been using a 2.5mm rod.
Exactly! We must stumble in the same direction.I also use a rod no coil jig although I own several. This wire does not lend itself to twisting with one of those jigs.
