Ive been seeing some use of 304 SS lately. Anyone working with it? I love my 316L/317L wire but im always open to trying some new stuff, if the price is right.
Linky poo for reference.
Vertical coil for the Lemo gunks up quick ā¦I abandoned it and went back to reg micro coil setup ā¦itās better ā¦FYI
Once I get more thin wire, I will rebuild all my atties with fused claptons, including KFL, lol. Iām a big clapton fan now!

For me the Clapton is definitely gave me the best vape I ever had. If I could Iād put them in all my devices. If you havenāt tried one you should give it a try, you wonāt be disappointed.

I start my first builds next week. Iāve seen you mention titanium I think, see if Iām ordering kanthal what should I be looking out for or is it all the same?
You probably want to start with Kanthal. Itās not too expensive and it performs well. Probably the 28 gauge would best for a starter. The other types of wire usually have a higher resistance and usually are for more experienced coil builders. If you can afford it, get a Coil Master, it will make winding coils real simple. I wish I had started with one. Make sure you check your ohms after you complete a build. I watched a lot of coil building videos on YouTube also. They have a lot of beginner videos.

Are there any pictures posted of this coil. Iād like to see it. Can you link it?
3rd video in the first post, TwistedMesses video:
I checked out that video and made one. I not sure if unwound it enough or too much. I just figured Iād stop where I was at. Do you think I need to unwind it more?
Iām trying figure out what I want to mount it in. I may do a vertical with it.

Looks awesome
I have twisted my wires until they snapped, but your looks good too.
From what Iāve read 100% Titanium (Grade 1) wire produces that white dust (Titanium Dioxide), when its dry fired. If you donāt dry fire it, Itās okay to use. Titanium Dioxide is a substance that I have worked with for over 20 yrs on my job and itās really not bad in very small doses. I have inhaled this one way or another almost daily in volumes thatās well beyond that which dry firing will produce. Also from my experience some people have a sensitivity to Titanium Dioxide. I have seen at least 2 cases of this in 20+ yrs. But as with anything too much is not good for you. If more info is needed read this thread I found on ECF.
