@2clicker
Thanks for your response! I'm with you in that I'd rather not inhale anything that isn't a cannaboid!
So.... If I don't end up getting a TC device, what are some good tips? Don't let it get glowing hot seems to be the easy one. How about pulsing? I would imagine that would help too.
I know the AC runs at .8 ohms and I think that 4-5 volts should be enough to run the Dual coils....
pulsing is a great idea. just practice it with the cap off so you know how long to pulse and how often. keep the glow away and you are golden. even w/out glow you may heat your errl a tad much, but you likely wont notice it and as far as i know should be totally fine.
Yes, this is the only problem with Ti that we briefly discussed over PM... I didn't want to cause a scare but Ti wire if it reaches a certain temperature ( since people will read this and may worry I won't put a number because I myself am unsure as to what it EXACTLT is) will ignite the surrounding air and anyone who's ever had there oil ignite from too low of resistance coils ( yes the vapor can ignite) knows that blowback is not good, especially when your device is held next to your face...
So bottom line as stated, only use Ti with TC devices, otherwise your not doing yourself any good...
no doubt. ONLY use Ti wire in a temp limiting device!
I had put this link up weeks ago. I don't think this is convincing, either. The fact that a metal can form toxic salts or that nano particles can seriously irritate the lungs doesn't in the least settle the case, unless it's actually happening under vaping conditions.
The people who have the equipment to test with are generally out to demonize ecigs, that they see as a way to "cheat" on their antismoking crusade.
No point in spreading more hysteric tales of doom and BS rumors. We do NOT know how Nickel reacts in a coil, and whether any toxicity results. And any wire blasted with a surge of unregulated current will make like a light bulb ;-)
There ARE reasons to think Titanium is less likely to create dangerous compounds, who knows about nanoparticles. I happen to choose Titanium largely because i can feel Nickel irritates my lungs.
28 gauge ti wire makes 8 wrap coils on 2.5mm drill bits in the 0.3 ohm range.
yeah i knew you had posted it as well. and im no scientist, but he makes a good point that there is a reason that we arent using nickel for food processing and medical uses. in my eyes finding the safest option and using that is ideal. i dont know sounded legit to me. rumors...? maybe, but not not for sure. im not spreading doom and gloom. im spreading my opinion and that is that nickel is not a good wire option.
On the majority of TC devices with a Nickel curve I see that the Ti offset is 90 degrees.
i find on my Evic that the temp must INCREASE 80-100deg with Ti over nickel. if my nickel temp was 420F then my Evic must be set at 520F to get the same/similar performance.
I have 7 Ac dual coils on hand and they do rip great when they work (520f on evic), but sadly they all jump out of TC mode for me now.
Looking for good seller for ti2 wire.
Any good leads yet? ss317 and ss316l are stainless steel ya?
i still have experienced the evic "jump" twice. both times the leads were loose. once tightened all was working perfectly. oh and a random note about the evic... there is an evic mini about to drop and the size is perfect! im so getting one.
oh and i would also like to hear about more Ti wire vendors.
Hey
@2clicker check this out, called the Pi2 (squared) postless deck! May just be perfect for your DBC, even though it cost 130$. Let me know if you've seen it already.
good looking out DC! someone else here has a postless RDA. i forget who it was or what its name was but it looks similar. i will def be checking out the Pi2 tho.
So after about a week of coil building with this stumpy rda, I've come to the conclusion I know very little. Not getting the e-nail size hits I have expected. I am wicking with cotton wetting it with ejuice to not burn the cotton and placing the wax directly on the coil, pulsating to melt it in and then doing the dab. I am using 28 guage nickel wire until I get some ti wire. Am I using the proper guage? Also is there something I should wick with that will work better for dabs? I have read ss works well, but would it be fine to use with nickel wire on a tc device? Any help would be greatly appreciated....i have a free day and hope to buold something by monday, that will get me where I want.
have you tried doing exactly this minus wetting the wick with ejuice? i ask because i have tried to "dab" off of a coil that had juice run through it first and also had shitty results. if you are in TC mode then your cotton should not burn even if it is bone dry.
the wire gauge shouldnt be an issue. esp in TC mode. and you can try SS as a wick some have good results and others do not. i have not had good results, but have been meaning to give it another shot since using TC. my advice would be to get some RXW or FC-2000. i personally have been enjoying FC-2000 lately even more than RXW. i have been using them side by side and finding that the FC-2000 will retain better flavor longer than RXW. when new, both options taste great, but as RXW gunks up the flavor degrades. im finding that with FC-2000 the good flavor last considerably longer. the only thing i can think attributes this is that the FC-2000 is less porous. it does not wick as well as RXW so there are less nooks and crannies for the oil to get stuck in. with FC-2000 the oil does not soak into the wick and in turn vapes away faster and without any leftovers. no idea if this is accurate lol.
and finally i wanted to share a link to the Evic Mini that is coming soon. i really wanted the IPV D2 due to its size/form factor, but because the dry coil warning it has been removed from my wish list. and then i found this! this is what the Evic SHOULD have been the first time around. oh and this one is firmware updateable!

Time to venture into the world of tc...
