Well, I thought I had tried everything but using the preheat instead of no preheat at all may have solved the issue I had with roasting the cotton in the middle. I've been using one of the same twisted 24g build for a few days now and no sign of any char on the cotton. Kinda sucks since I like the heat to come on slow but if it works I guess I cant complain. After using the premade coil heads for some time its nice to come back to the world of superior flavor lol. On topic. The 316L I had was so springy that it was nearly impossible to make even dual coils out of. The Ti was not springy whatsoever and stayed in perfect coil shape, its incredibly easy to work with. I just received the clapton 316L I ordered today and had none of the troubles I had previously with steel, i'm pretty happy with both now. I agree that Ti does have a different taste to it, however in my opinion its not a negative. I think it brings out the flavor in some juice better. If it doesn't work with your favorite flavors best to just avoid it. As for burning coils to clean them, I really never had good experiences with that. It always made my flavor a little more muted every time. Even back when I was building with Kanthal I would rather just make a new coil than try to clean them. Anyway, Thanks KISS V. for resurrecting this thread, It gave me a little motivation to try again and so far it looks like it worked I like your American Psycho pic btw.
