AWG 22 Ti.
Hey @Pipes Is making that wooden adapter for the solo stem pretty easy?? I have a power drill but not really any other wood tools.
Thanks for all of the videos. They were very helpful.
AWG 22 Ti.
Yes im still stirring unfortunately. Hopefully the kayfun will fix this issue.
Have you tried using the vape upside down? When I use mine in a bubbler it cooks perfectly evenly with no stirring. I think it helps to get some distance between the heating element and the herb. When I use mine upright the bottom of the chamber chars quite a bit. I'm hoping a larger heating element running at lower temp will help this.
I'm drooling over the big beautiful terminals on your RDA. The Bulli screws are so tiny!!
<I have a Kayfun Mini and a few more Bulli's on the way, wtf has this thread done to me?>
I had ordered a ego mega adapter or whatever it was called and it didn't fit! The one that Xenodius sent me is plastic, and I'm going for all ss, except for mouth piece, so if anyone knows where to get a metal adapter please fill me in.
Hey, I'm back, just got laid off, so I'll have some time to mess around with this, received a Bull from Xenodius, mine came with .21 coil, been messing around with temperature, haven't "tricked" it yet, but so far I have found that 450 in nickel mode has been where things start to work (60watts). I'm going to go back and do some reading on what temperatures you have set up. I also recieved a non modded unit from Gerrmany, and I'm hoping to get that one set up.
At first I had trouble getting it hot enough but once I read that you guys were using nickel mode, it started working. The vapor sure does feel like its coming from some hot metal. I also noticed some not so good taste, not sure if its the vapor or something that's on the atomizer. Any tips on how to improve taste?? The air feels really hot into my mouth, hopefully a bit of a stem can help with that. I still have some breaking in to do, but I have got it to work/produce vapor.
At first I was intimidated by the coil, but I just ordered some 22 gauge ti wire from lightning vapes... so hopefully I can come up with a coil jig at the hardware store this weekend for when It arrives.
Sorry to hear you got laid off, thats really unfortunate. Im sure everything will work out.
I personally think that taste is the titanium so therefore im using ss430 22 gauge. Others dont seem to complain about the taste so it may not be that (but i can taste it lol)
Which mod are you using??
I'm convinced to give the SS a go. Not that sensitive to the metal taste myself but have read some can taste it more than others. Not sure which grade is the best. 304, 316 or 316L which is the latest from what I can figure.
Can't seem to find 430? Did you mean 304?
Gave the Nickel a go but ran into a problem with the EVic jumping up in the read atomizer resistance. Actual value was .06 but after using for a few hits the measured value would jump to .11 ohms and causing it to run away and get bright red hot. Near as I can figure it rechecks after X amount of time and if resistance is not within Y percent of previous measured value, it resets the read...? Just guessing as checked connections and tried two coils. This was with unit in "locked" mode as well. I also went through lots of various TCR values. A value of 630 seemed to give me about the same vaping temperatures on the dial as the Ti coils. (460-500F) Until it jumps...
Back to Ti for now until I get some SS. (316L?)
This guy seems to really like the EVic for SS. Gives me some confidence.
honestly I want to try some ss317 and ss316L. The ss430 is from the unkamen site.

I got ss430 because it was completely nickle free. But I'm thinking that 317L might be really good too taste wise.
The 317L has better corrosion resistance then 430 so I kind of want to try it
Hey guys been looking around at different posts for ss wire, and have found some, but the suppliers are rare,
Did some looking online today at SS wire
316L is all over the place including amazon in all kinds of sizes
317L come in 24-26-28 gauge from the website you recomended.... its one of the only sites I can find 317L in small quantities...
Vape-attomizer-mesh.com which is a European website has sizes from 30AWG all the way down to 18AWG so a bit more variety...
Experimenting with different gauges can be expensive, so I'm going asking for just a bit more feedback before I order.
The TI taste I am getting has got me scrambling to try something else. My new TI wire should be here this week, maybe it will help, but I'm worried this is not the end, after seeing that SS video I'm tempted to work on group buy of different sized stuff.
These screws are so freaking small its ridiculous!!!! Super hard to fit 20 gauge securly. I went ahead and ordered this
@enjiatt - not sure if you are working on your Kayfun Mini yet, but I just got my Mini v 2.1 and right away I'm noticing a few major advantages over the Bulli. Note these are only preliminary observations, as I haven't built a coil or tried this thing just yet (got it soaking in some iso now...)
1 - Adjustable air flow control (also no need to drill the body yourself.) Air path comes right up from the bottom underneath the coil.
2 - Huge "heating coil" chamber - You can fit a serious coil inside of this thing. (This may turn out to be a problem if it is too big??)
3 - Included stainless drip tip adapter (no plastic!)
4 - No branding/marking
5 - More readily available
6 - Cheap
Disadvantages:
1 - Cheap low-temp o-rings that gotta go
2 - A bit longer overall than the Bulli - see number 2 above
Overall I'm very optimistic.
I've got some work to do over here!
Edit- now I know that you were talking about the Kayfun Mini when you said:
These screws are absolutely useless, I will need washers at minimum to get working on this one. They are SO TINY.
http://www.amazon.com/Beadalon-Round-Stainless-Steel-10-Meter/dp/B001R8LLW0please can you share the amazon links of the 316L wire , i search for it at amazon but don't get any good result.
and can somebody explain me if the gauge value ( 22,24,26,28...) mean the thickness and in that affect the result we are looking for here.
thanks
