Don't know if SiC can be made porous. Seems like it would need to be for the concentrate to get to the coil.
we have a canopus style coil inside? That wire coils up the middle of the black ceramic?
The heater is a hybrid Titanium Grade 2 and SiC.
Temperature control capable.
It is cleanable in 99% Iso.
No glues, or welds.
Wow...I checked the listing for the trinity on the website, it has much more info added from a couple weeks ago.
0.5 ohm titanium coil wire...that is indeed temp controllable! @Accept 's breakdown pics showing the relatively thick wire gave me a clue to this. This would make the trinity tank the first small-ish, 1ml-or-so sized,
pen-style tank for concentrates to actually incorporate a TC-able wire! (that I know of)
@THC SCIENTIFIC , I think this is a key point that many of your (potential) customers would be interested in knowing about, and I think you should emphasize this point more!
I'll give you guys credit on that significant achievement.
However, there's still some muddling and lost potential, IMO.
For "temp control mode" with the little 600mah pen-battery that you pair with the trinity tank, holding the button down for 4 seconds at a time is not
true temp control operation. Unless you guys are packing
alot more sensors and smarts inside that normal looking battery than it appears, those batteries just fire off at a
fixed voltage of whatever the cell is charged to at the moment. That means that the coil continues to get
hotter and hotter (to a certain extent, the sub-ohm coil on a small battery helps with that problem somewhat) the longer you hold the button down, and long-duration, back-to-back hits can easily make the wire glow
red hot, hot enough to combust oil, making
crusty carbon reclaim gunk. I don't think anyone wants that.
With a Ti sub-ohm coil, I don't know why you wouldn't recommend your customers to use a
TC mod, or better yet,
even sell one as a package for the trinity tank! $50 bucks for a regular 600mah fixed volt battery? You can get alot of TC mod for the same $....

Sorry but I must take issue with this....when I see a Ti coil wrapped around a porous SiC donut,
this is not a "SiC heater".
What this is...is a Ti heater coil with a (porous)
SiC "wick".
When I hear "SiC heater" I would think of something like this....
A relatively smooth, less porous ceramic heater, with a solder from a TC-capable metal wire into an evenly-deposited resistive material inside the ceramic heater. In heaters like this, the metal wire
does conduct
some heat, but it's a tiny fraction of the
much greater heat conducted by
the ceramic itself.
I thought the main benefit and desirability of SiC as a vaping material is that it could be made less porous, to offer the best taste and cleanability? If you make it porous, I don't see how it's any better than any other porous ceramic material with a hot wire wrapped around it.
These pictured silica ceramic cylinder (heaters? wicks?) are little more than a rubble pile chunked together around a wire, SS in this case. The SS wire is still making
most of the heat conduction for vaping, and leaves a perceptible taste in the vapor.
How is the trinity's heater/wick functionally different from this?
And what's wrong with "weld" (solder?) The alumina ceramic donuts have been off-gas tested, and there's nothing to see there.
(If you TC it, fine, if you glow them red hot, maybe not
)
Some vapers like myself (a minority i think?) are
strongly disinclined to heaters with exposed metal coil wires that conduct most of the heat that make the vaporization occur. It leaves a very noticeable metallic taste.
And also, if you would accept my humble suggestion, the next version of the trinity needs
much bigger wicking holes in the atomizer chimney. The tiny pinholes, as they currently are, greatly restrict performance. I'd suggest using at least 3 or 4 holes of at least 1/8" (about 3mm) in diameter. This allows for much great air and juice flow for bigger clouds and a quicker refresh rate on the SiC wick and for it to work better with thicker juices like Accept's BHO mix, or thick co2 oil
Added terpenes could make your designs more accessible,
@Vape Donkey 650, so might have to make one. For now, loving the EHPro Fusion kit, recommended by
@Filhote and described in the one-hitter thread.
I've seen some of your recent work on the "one-hitter" thread, some interesting stuff. A crafty coil builder like you should have no problem putting together one of my "VD" cubis donut coils. You could probably do it in about an hour or so, maybe less, and then you have full control over the placement of the wicking and heaters.
I don't think you're recent on the "advanced" tank thread...
(there's alot of arbitrary separation in some of these threads) I've been finding some interesting new RTAs that could have great potential for high-performing concentrate tanks!
As far as lubrication, I'm not inclined to add terps to any concentrate myself, but in some of my recent experiments making a new round of atomizer coils optimized for my first
distillate tanks I've set up for myself, it's clear, that having your oils
slick'ed up with terps can easily add to your tank functionality and wicking effectiveness.
However, adding terps can be a "slippery slope" and should be practiced with much caution...
I would not want to vape isolated terpenes.
Exactly...fresh flowers and "full spectrum" concentrates can (should?) have how many? 8, 12, 20 different distinct terpene compounds present in it? A little more of some, less of others. I don't want to have a total concentrate solution with just
2 or 3 terps constituting
3-4%+ (each) of the total volume/mass of my mix! Especially with some, like a-pinene, limone, these can be hazardous! Spikes of individual terps in distillates in concentrates can also makes the flavor generic and overly strong, too.
I've found that simply by
designing (modifying)
an atomizer coil with plenty of generous wicking holes, properly placed,
can remove/negate the need for terpene/PEG lubrication. Thick co2s & minimally diluted BHO/rosin will taste more natural and be closer to their natural consistency.
But hey.... "terp beginners" sorry for the tangents.
I was just following
@Accept (he started it
)
some folks make a mixture of Terpenes with Coconut oil and capsulate the mixture. Tomorrow I'm going to experiment with adding drops to a teaspoon of Coconut oil and adding it to my morning cup of coffee.
Now that is an idea I like for several reasons! First off, consuming terps by eating or drinking them makes many of them inherently safer to ingest. Absorbing them slowly by digestion, the accute toxicity of terps is reduced substantially. Also, by drinking the terps and not accidentally over-heating it with unregulated temps from a non-TC battery, you can avoid thermally degrading terpenes into potentially more hazard compounds.
"Cooking" with terps is an emerging field too. Check out "Bong Appetit" on VICE TV, they have this fat white guy Ry whos' sole job, it seems, is to pop-in over the shoulder of the guest chefs to frequently spike the cooking pot with HTFSE, kief, distillate, bubble hash, just about any concentrate you can imagine, and sometimes just pure terps! (What a great job!
)
Remember, pretty much all plants have terpenes, not just cannabis. And cannabis doesn't really have any
"unique terpenes" that other plants don't have (besides cannabinoids) but it only has
unique combinations of terpenes that give our favorite strains their characteristic flavors and effects.
I just added 3 drops directly in the filled vape tank which is a Smok "Baby Beast" tank with a .15ohm coil.
D'oh. Accept already got you up to speed with the a-pinene. (pretty much turpentine, careful there, poison is in the dosage!)
But with the 0.15 ohm coil on a mod....I hope you're TC'ing that guy! Raising a-pinene to over 600F doesn't make it any healthier. Baby beast coils can be run in TC with a SS, Ti wire?
Also, I hope your tank isn't leaking on you if you keep it filled up long enough, they just released a new top-air flow version (should be leak-proof) that I'm going to try
to some degree without harming flavor and quality... sooo.... if you and @Accept can vape up a half gram or gram in a single day or session on the trinity tank, that's pretty intense! It's going harder than I might think through those little wicking holes 
It makes it easier on your end to sell your tank or atomizer with a known battery that you produce and can expect a certain reliable QC from.
I'd like to see someone try this and see how it's different from the small battery. Maybe 15-20w TC-Ti?
The last metal wire atomizer that I was able to use for a while was the HVT Sai with the SS / black ceramic coil. It's super easy to use and TC, and made some decent vapor that I could tolerate the SS taste, but the porous black wick got gunked up pretty quick and the taste became pretty bad, and this was not easy to clean, so I went back to my layg donuts.

who knows)
but then you have guys like me who fill several tanks and piff on many of them for weeks before refilling 
while my old bottom-air tanks would almost always leak out on me, given a few weeks. Not allowing a big hole at the bottom for gravity to suck oil down into can greatly solve leakage problems, if not eliminate them!
