I'm glad about that. When I found out about VIR, I went and bought some 316L because I just naturally assumed "medical grade" when reading all the discussions of the biocompatibility of stainless steel and titanium. Then when I saw later that it had only been tested on 304, I was like "whoops!". So I got a pile of 316L lying around. I tried it out in a mech and got the purest flavor I've ever gotten. I think I might even prefer it over titanium. It'll be awesome if I can use it with VIR!

i just read in another thread that now VIR might not work with SS but only with Ti grade 1... when do you think you'll know for sure? i would like to know before pre-order.

and i don't understand how we can use Ti 1 wire with proteus because the resistance is so low... i thought it isn't good to make low ohm coils for use with 14500 batteries

Imeo stated there isn't enough memory on the chip to add auto detection of metal. As of today, expect Ti grade 1 only.

You shouldn't go low resistance on an unregulated mod, but if the chip bucks voltage low enough to the 510, you're fine. Just more wraps of coil for the same resistance which will give you more surface area. Probably better flavor and vapor production, too.

Anyone got a UK or European supplier of this Ti grade1 wire? I mean at usable diameters?

I am curious about what the new locking will be on Esterigon when it has VIR. I may be getting ahead of myself. Right now the focus is on Proteus. I don't want to stress imeo out too much with these questions.

The safety lock on Esterigon as it is now, will not work with VIR. The way the Esterigon safety works now is that it separates the battery from making contact, not allowing it to fire if the button gets pushed.

As we see in videos what VIR does, it takes VIR a certain amount of time to establish memory before it can vape. I don't know how much time it will take in the final product. Imeo said the time might be shorter with the final VIR product.

We can see that the current Esterigon locking will not work with VIR. I read that when VIR comes out for Esterigon, it will also be sold with a new locking piece. I'm sure imeo already has made the new locking or already has the simple idea for it.

Have seen the specifications of the new SX chip?

SX350J is not the same, folks. Variable joule is an idiotic term. Joules mean watt-seconds. There's no discernable difference between joules and watts when it comes to vaping.

It is temperature limiting, not control.

VIR is a patent pending mode that will raise and lower wattage 1000 times per second to hit a particular temperature on a Ti grade 1 coil.

SX350J will turn off the Atty if it exceeds a temperature limit. Not even the same ballpark. SX350J will likely need nickel wire, yuck.

Titanium is probably health neutral. Nickel alloys? Who knows.

Beco: latest VIR video from 10/2014 shows dry Cotton test.

Was under the assumption that DNA40 shuts off Atty if temp exceeds limit. Not that you can keep vaping at a lower temp.

So you are saying DNA40 will lower wattage in one vape pull until wick pulls more juice and then it raises wattage, all in one press?
