  1. Not actually twisting it makes it stiffer. When I'm done twisting it I heat the length of it to a slight red. I torch all my wire prior to coiling (even Tii).

    You could use a Bic lighter if necessary but be sure to dry fire with low wattage to burn off the black stuff.  

    Twisted lightly really doesn't describe it, it's twisted pretty tight. This makes the 2 strands equal / near 26 gauge with lots of area for juice contact.

    This photo is from a couple of years ago, I twist it a bit tighter nowadays.

  2. It appears to me that you are trying to get your perfect puff in TC mode, it doesn't look like your getting a satisfactory puff to base Replay on.

    Try this, set your profile to "Watts" then set your wattage and Boost and upload settings, Keep making adjustments  till you get that puff that you feel is right.

    Use my profile snip as your guide.

    Then save puff.

    On my snip the test puff is on the left. look at the live ohms to note duration as it's hard to see as it is flat 20 watts.

    Use Watt profile. use TC capable wire.

  3. Image of DNA250 non-color firing dry wick with 316L clapton coil with .5 second 60 watt boost then 40 watts.

    Same was done with DNA250 Color and results were similar.

    I had to hold firing button for several seconds before wick would show signs of burning, 15 seconds fire time.

    Voltage output dropped to 1 - 2 volts on both.
