Let it be known that I am not one to shout the wonders of TC from the rooftops. The concept is amazing and exactly what the industry needs, but almost all my experiences were garbage in the performance department, whether is was prebuilt, built by me or built by someone else. I was having great results with Nickel on mesh in a genesis atomizer, until I did my research on why you shouldn't be dry burning nickel. Out that idea went. Well, back to Kanthal. At least I can dry burn it, unlike Ti01 and Ni200. So, apart from those titanium claptons I made sometime ago and my nickel on genesis builds, I had let my spool of Unkamen Ti01 collect dust, mainly because the tugboat that I had built them on destroyed the 510 connector of 3 of my mods, including my Numinous and my DNA200.
Last night I just threw a twisted 28 Ti build (build link below) in my origen16 for the hell of it, put it on a DNA40, grabbed the temp offset from Steam Engine and away I went. Barring some break in taste that was probably due to me not adequately cleaning the wire, I was surprised that I almost couldn't tell a difference between Kanthal and Ti01. I can accept the fact that I like to vape around 480degF/250degC (setting about 360-370degF/180-190degC) for Ti01 on DNA40, and warmer than most of the testimony I see around the forums here) and know that I won't be crossing the decomposition point of VG even when dry. The resulting vape was warm crossing into hot and flavorful (I've been vaping the same juice for almost 3 years, it tasted exactly as it should). If I hadn't built it, I might not have known except it did what TC wire was supposed to do (no dry hits, consistency).
Is it really this good, or did I just have a magic coil that I'll never replicate?
Also, knowing that temp offsets are rather predictable and still come with a solid amount of reliability if you know the curve behind the scenes, can it be used to pseudo-dry burn Ti01 on a DNA40 (Say, a temp setting of 500degF/270degC to bring the TI just under 800DegF/430DegC) and avoid the production of TiO2?
