Mod resistance 0.0045 Other numbers; 827.59 554.3 7.38 15.65 These are the numbers for my Hcigar, you need to run your own thermals but this should get you closer than what you're using. Try a different wire type ie: Ti, NiFe52, Ni, or if you really want SS, 430 has worked much better for me than 316l/317l.

0.022 is a bad number than originated a djlsb. I got ~0.004 as did several others. That would be a better guess until someone checks it. I got a very nice little copper 510 plug from one of the members here (name escapes me at the moment) made for the purpose.

I didn't get any, was thinking about it, still may. The number you posted is all I found also. Was hoping steamengine would have it with the new materials they added... Was just reading about platinum wire on a jewelry making site, apparently you can work harden it if it's too soft. One method they use is spinning it with a drill motor and holding other end with pliers just like you would to straighten core wires for clapton (coaxial) wire. And my apologies to the OP, kind of off on a tangent here for a question about starting to build your own coils

Unlike Ti, SS can also be pulsed. Had been using a toothbrush and it never occurred to me to use a brass brush, duh , thx for the tip. And I don't think I've ever worn out a coil, most hit the trash can to make way for something different long before there are any signs of metal erosion.

My VT200 came in about the same. Would be interested if Efusion actually squeezed a 1300 into that box, looks small in the photos. Overall I'm satisfied with the Hcigar, but still kind of pissed that my decision to buy was predicated on a bald faced lie.

On the website they say resistance numbers are coming. Seat of the pants impression is no noticeable difference from the Unkamen on the vape. Using DJaquiths curve for Titan wire Ti that I tweaked a bit, and like it enough to order more in heavier gauges.

I got some Temco titanium in 28g. It is very clean, got zero residue from alcohol/paper towel scrub. It is also very soft. Almost like working with nickel as far as wicking goes. Their annealing process will probably be a plus for the heavier gauge wire. Other than that it seems like good stuff, and the price is very reasonable, $5.58 for 25'. The included in the price shipping to the midwest was 5 days.

Oh yeah, I fully agree. All attys get the hot water/dish soap soak and toothbrush treatment before they get used. Domestic or foreign (especially those), authentic or clone . But this Ti wire was on another level, and I'm kinda low on elbow grease edit - looked at your post again and did a double take, $130 for an RTA? Squape R? Just got a couple Kayfun clones, 3.1 for $5.99 and Lite Plus V2 for $9.99. I'm thinking you need to touch base with DJaquith and go in on an order of that platinum wire

The stuff I got was really dirty. Iso alcohol on a paper towel came out black on the first pass. The surface was rough to the touch. Took some scrubbing to get it clean, and I would prefer to not put that kind of exertion into a piece of wire . That's what prompted my communication with the owner.

Will be interested to see how you like it. I emailed with the owner of Unkamen and he said his product will be shiny bright and clean as of his next wholesale order, so perhaps you got the new stuff.

Have not personally had any issues with Ti. Temco looks like good stuff, and comparatively inexpensive. Have been using Ti from Lightning Vapes (bit pricey), and Unkamen (dirty). Their wires are a little springy, but certainly usable. I'll get some Temco wire, been making coaxial (clapton) wire with stainless steel core and Ti wrap, some 30-32g that is annealed would make that easier.

Ah, ok. Broken coil. Had a mental image of a chemical fire and class D fire extinguishers...lol

Could you describe the circumstances of these ignitions? That is a scenario that I would like to avoid replicating. Thanks
