Ti turning white in TC mode


Recommended Posts

So i nabbed the sweet vapors TC curve (and logo) but im using some amazon Ti wire. 

It just hasn't worked in TC mode.

After 1 day my first build was no longer reading a temp, my second build essentially wouldn't turn blue and when i tested it dry in temp mode it fired blue. 

sources for my curves:

is it possible that this amazon Ti wire (linked bellow) is just a bad batch from a shifty retailer, am I using the wire wrong? ( i was told to turn it blue then vape on it), should I go with sweet spot or another more reliable coil maker. 

side note my DNA 200 also seems to think its 81f in my room, its maybe 69f at best. not sure if that contributes.

WHAT I WAS DOING WRONG (THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL FELLOW NOOBS)

1 wraps must be perfectly even

2 must be sure that you haven't pinched the wire (for temp control this seems to be a universal must)

3 when building claptons remember the wire will slide around so make extra as to avoid accidentally claptoning the outer material rather than the inner).

The Sweet Spot Vapors TCR isn't for pure titanium - I believe its some sort of alloy. I'd try a TCR from steam engine (http://www.steam-engine.org/wirewiz.asp#)

I just got this from there which may be a little better for you. You can download it for yourself or copy and paste the following and save as a csv to upload.

"Temperature (degF)","Electrical Resistivity"
-58,0.6118951675
68,1
