I tired this and OMG flavor. 

what is a good way to get the springiness out of the 316l? i spent most of my time trying to keep it from springing back into the center posts. and my coils looks like a newbs.

this is not my first coil build i have done soo many claptons and fused claptons that i cant even count them anymore.

but man twisted ss316l has to be the most springiest thing in the world , even when compared to flubber

Settled on a dual vertical parallel (Stream Crave) atty. 2.5ID, 10 wraps @ .19ohms. 55 watts, 520 degrees Nice cool vape, good dense cloud. Satisfied with this build Used the V2 profile listed above. Ive noticed with SS you either need good spaced coils or REALLY good contact coils. Took me a minute to set it up but worth the hassle. This coming from a strictly TI user.

I have 24 gauge, any suggestions

As in what exactly? The Profiles I've posted for UD SS316L seem to work as long as you disable Preheat. My preferences are V3 and V3.5 which seem to be working. Otherwise, my go to wire is Titan Wires 24g. Just for kicks I was going to Clapton 24g UD with 34g Kanthal, but beyond that I have no other plans for SS316L. The SS430 and Platinum are my next venture expanding my TC trials and tribulations, but wow Platinum is CrAzY expensive $70 for one frigging coil. LOL it looks just like SS but it doesn't oxidize.

My 28 gauge UD 316L SS arrived and there is no significant difference in behavior (good, bad, indifferent) compared to the 316 (non-L) unbranded fasttech wire I had before.

I'm using the default SE profile at the moment.

Not a very steady vape if I set the wattage higher than needed. My workaround is to set the wattage about 1 watt above my desired level and bump the temp up until it nearly matches it, but still offers some TC. Doing this, everything smoothes out on the graph (and vape).

I may as well just run in power mode, but this at least allows me to control the pre-heat punch.

Ni200 on the same atty works perfectly even when the wattage is far above where I vape via TC.

I am a big fan of the flavor of twisted coils. However, I find that they are far too springy and low resistance for building or TC. It seems that the best results come from simple, larger, high resistance builds. Although the 0.04ohm quad twisted parallel build was pretty hilarious when people saw it.

You can pulse at a low wattage to clean and initially remove hot spots. I don't use parallel builds much. Most of my builds are limited to 120W and on average 30W to 75W. I'll build a quad once in a blue moon, twisted 30-26 gauge, Clapton's but most are 24 gauge single and dual. I can vape a Kayfun and grab a Velocity Clapton the next vape. That said, a 3 mm ID, 7.5 wrap, parallel, dual, 24 gauge of SS316L should have an approximate resistance of 0.08-0.09 Ohm's and require 170W-180W to power.



Would this be a correct Steam-Engine build for this coil?
Thanks!

I usually use Celsius on my Mod, but I tried to set the temp as fahrenheit an got a much much better vape / flavor on the same coil.
its a 7 wrap spaced 316L coil coming out at .05 and I was vaping this at 248 degrees celsius, but changed it to 470 degrees fahrenheit.

Can that be because the chip makers standard is  fahrenheit?
i am running this on a Steam Crave so easy to change coils, so later I will try to make a Titanium coil and also change the profile on this to fahrenheit and see if I get the same difference.

[QUOTE=PLANETGETLOW]Im about to move from TI to SS....getting 28g and 24G in. I would appreciate it if the V4 csv can be uploaded so i can use it


Here's the ensemble of all the UD SS316L Profiles - http://www.filedropper.com/udss316ltcprofiles

As the Version goes up, so do the temperatures; I generally use V3 or V3.5 myself.[/QUOTE]

would you sir please be so kind to reupload the cast once again filedropper links dont last to long.

I had downloaded V3,V3.25 and V4, had tried all, but preferred the V3.25 at 2.4ID, 8 wraps @ .5ohms. 23watts, 210c single coil in Le Magister and Monad attysI would appreciate if anyone can upload the V3.5 cvs so i can try it? Had tried searching for the V3.5, filedropper links doesn't have it anymore[sneaky]

I haven't been on here in awhile but hoping I can get some advice. Been real busy lately and vaping on the same SS316L 24G fused claptoned with 36G KA1 for almost a month now. It's been through maybe four rinses/rewicks and they are pretty tan/brown now. Like the brown from oxidation? not from juice gunk. As in, I'm able to burn/rinse all the gunk off but the wires are still brown. Does everyone still think they are OK to vape on? I've asked this question before on other forums and always get a mix of answers but I still ask again and again because I'm hoping some metallurgist will see it and impart some educated advice...

idk how u came up with this price, but i got my platinum wire delivery from local jewelry store 2 day ago
i paid around 50 bucks(29.75 per gramm) got enough wire to make 6-7 coils with 6 wraps each
abusing google and infrared thermometer i found tcr of 0.003918 pretty accurate.
overall platinum doesnt have metallic taste which im getting from nickel and its alot more accurate in tc than SS316

hello :-)

have read 3 pages of the thread and didn't see an answer for my question....

i use dna200 lavabox and vaporshark.

1. whats the temp. in fahrenheit for SS316l - 450 ? 420?
2. whats the temp for nickel?
3. whats the temp. for titanium?

when i switch profiles, temp. is 450 everywhere... is that correct?
i've got my profiles from vaporshark team 3 month ago ..

The answer to all 3 of your questions is this.

The proper temperature for each is the temperature that YOU enjoy vaping it.

That 450 you see everywhere is merely the default temperature someone else configured. Both your boxes have up/down buttons that you can change that 450. Personally I'd start at say 390, and test from there. You'll find the warmth you like the most. You'll also notice that each of your juices will taste different bringing out more or less of a specific flavor at different temps.

I'm usually a 420-450 kinda guy.

Thanks Wayneo !!! :)

Another question about SS316L.

Had some experiments with it. Made coils 0.5 ohm, tried also 0.35 ohm. 28 gauge. Spaced. Put in my favorite liquid.
Seems like my liquid lost it taste with SS. I have a lot of vapor but the taste is just sweet. And with Kanthal this liquid has very complexed and good taste.
Am I doing anything wrong? Tried 25 - 100 w - same result ... no taste, just sweetness..

thanks!
