What are your thought on titanium coils?

Grade 1? Grade 2?

Where to get them? Worthwhile trying to find some?

Just waiting for StealthVape to get them in before I try them!
 
This sounds interesting, looking forward to seeing how "clean" the vapour is from a titanium coil. Will keep an eye on your site StealthVape
 
Wires in, samples will be in tomorrows post for the testers. .15mm grade 1 robowire

I made a coil earlier at 1.4ohms and it worked well. I'm going to make a new mesh wick tomorrow and test it further.

It's shiny and springy so maybe a bit trickier to use than kanthal and nichrome but massively easier to untangle if it bird nests which is near enough impossible with nichrome and kanthal.

Also I tried annealing it with a torch to make it more manageable and it caught fire. Yes, caught fire like magnesium ribbon so don't do that with it :D

It won't catch fire in an atty, gas torch flames are very hot.

There didn't seem to be any noticeable taste and I let the mesh get red hot and it didn't pop the coil. That was at a little over 4v.

It's down to the testers now for the final nod before it goes up for sale but from where I'm sat it looks like great stuff :)
 
Man.....I wish I could be a tester :(

Sorry Alex I've already found the testing posse and a couple of extras that I sneaked in. If the titanium doesn't work out I'll be looking at molybdenum as an alternative so keep your eyes peeled...

:P - don't worry about it buddy, just kidding.

One of your testers actually works in the same place I do. I'm the one that got him vaping.........now I've got a vamo, and he's got 4 GGTS's lol :P
 
Ahh cool, looking forward to finding out what you think to it as well mate :)
 
I've got another friend who managed to get some titanium coils out of another website (they are doing vivi nova-type heads with titanium coils that he dismantled), he says.......absolutely f***ing amazing.
