Stainless steel build Help

Did we go to grade school together?

3 to 4 ml a day. Sometimes more, rarely less. This is still a nearly shine coil after 60ml. Looks like it will last at least twice that ( at least)

Due to the specific heat and density of stainless vs Ti, it takes nearly double the energy to ramp. The extra heat energy that is then stored in the coil dissipates by cooking your build after every pulse. If I compare the same build side by side at 150W plus I can hear the SS continue to sizzle after firing much longer. The near-doubled ramp is also very easily noticed. IMO SS produces the worst flavor.

IME SS lasts a few weeks where Ti can easily last 3-6 months of daily usage at 10ml a day using hemp wick.

Edit: I think folks that use slow wick like cotton and/or high VG juice need the slower ramp of SS. Slowly wicking builds cant deal with the faster ramp of Ti, which is evidenced by much shorter build life vs Ti or KA1. Poor wicking is also offset by claptons, which are largely unnecessary with better wicking builds IME.

Cool, I’ll watch for that thread. :wink:
