you can use stainless steel and proceed as normal like kanthal... the temp swing may be a bit larger than nickel or Ti but ive had no issues.... also, i do my titanium coils like kanthals. contact coils, i pulse at a low wattage just until i can tell they have no hot spots. and dont worry about the oxidation bull shit, TiO2 is used as food coloring and is generally safe for consumption. its the synthetic TiO2 NANOPARTICLES that are engineered in a lab that can cause irritation. Titanium is extremely compatible with the human body.... and just fyi, ive yet to have a titanium coil oxidize while pulsing it. i have seen a little bit while cleaning the coil off ( dry burn, and dunk under water) but that could be from the juice too. plus the water just washes it off. titanium is about as safe as it gets.
