txmonkey214 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Posted August 13, 2016 I picked up 25 ft. of 26g grade 1 titanium round wire. I plan to build a single coil for a Wotofo Serpent. It's easy for me to build for, because I'm Left handed. If I were to build a coil with let's say, 8-10 wraps, would that put it at about .18 ohms? Or, does titanium maybe have less, and not more resistance than ni200? Thanks in advance for your input. Steve
black lace Posted August 13, 2016 Report Posted August 13, 2016 You dont say what size mandrel, you can do theoretical coil building in the wire wizard program, you aint got to use their tcr files on a simple single one strand . Just use the pre loaded dna settings.. ive seen that atty, can you let us know how you get on with using that guage wire on it, possibly even put a pic up of coil fitted to deck before wicking, thanx like a mini review thing, i wouldnt mind one of thoes myself, thanx
txmonkey214 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Posted August 13, 2016 Thanks, black lace,I would be using a 3mm screwdriver for the wrap. I will look into using wire wizard. Can you tell me if touching, or slightly spaced coils are the way to go?
Wayneo Posted August 13, 2016 Report Posted August 13, 2016 Completely off topic, but for you Wotofo fans, vaporbeast has the WOTOFO CONQUEROR RTA for $12.Carry on.

txmonkey214 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Posted August 13, 2016 Thanks, Vaping Bad! It should keep it from getting hot spots. I'm giving the wire a rub with 91% alcohol, to clean any residue from manufacture. I am not so worried about titanium dioxide, since I would never fire it dry, and plan to keep it at 420F, or lower. I am more worried about vaping with alloys, to be honest.
black lace Posted August 14, 2016 Report Posted August 14, 2016 Lol.. it is.. but no matter, each to their own in this club, hope youve got it up and running.. its the atty that interests me..
