The resistance is not a real concern as DNA200 will fire pretty much anything.I just did about 1 metre of twisted , made a coil & tested resistance on my test rig.From this i worked out what the pitch of twist was(for me about .6mm) by putting figures into the steam engine until it gave me the results i got from test rig.

If you are as brave/stupid (delete as you feel appropriate) as PBusardo a DNA200 will fire that low you can poke a screw driver in the 510 and fire it.

What's the benefit of twisting ti wires together?

- easier to coil?
- lower resistance?
- more surface area?

that's all I can think of but how do you enter it in steam wire calc to work out an overall resistance?

More surface area and wire means bigger denser clouds mainly.

For twisted on Steam Engine I change round to twisted and set the twist pitch to 1mm.

I dont use a custom TCR for my Twisted coils, as both strands are the same TI wire i just use the TI Grade 1 TCR as normal.

I'm using the standard Ti TCR as well. Twirly meant using Steam Engine to calculate the resistance before you've build and put the atty on a mod or Ohm reader.

Ah right, gotcha, i dont wort it out with any tools, i just went buy length and wraps based on what i knew a single wire coil would do having already built Many coils in the last year... hence my dual twisted came out about 0.09ohms lol

Well you need to know the pitch of the twist , you can measure it bit i find it more accurate to test a coil.

1mm twist pitch has always been close enough for me

I normally take a strand of 26awg TI, about 30cm long and use that doubled over to twist together, then cut in half, 4/5 wraps spaced and im golden... done at least 8 coils that way so far, all came out around 0.07-0.09ohms once fitted on the deck and legs cut to remove the excess.

Twirlywoos · 21 Oct 2015 at 23:25

Cool thanks, I see the pitch and twisted options in steam calc. Now I gotta look at some youtube videos on how to twist without having to buy any fancy equipment (I have a drill and 2 rolls of 26awg Ti). However I don't want to be bumbling about doing it.

Does anyone find going back to Kanthal from Titanium leaves you with a slight metallic tasting juice? I just find kanthal more metal tasting if that makes sense.

UKDTweak · 22 Oct 2015 at 07:28

You dont even need a drill, I get one piece of wire and loop it so the two ends meet, all you need is something to hold the two ends of the wire together and a bar or rod of some sort to put in the loop at the other end, apply tension and start turning the loop till the wire breaks, job done.
I use a coil master v3 and kuro coiler to do mine, the V3 has two wire holes in it which is perfect to run the two ends through, then i hand twist those two ends to stop the wire pulling out of the holes, put the handle between my knees and the put the handle from the kuro into the loop, pull until tight and pinch the wire close to the handle and then start spinning the kuro handle... takes me less than a minute to wind enough wire to do two coils worth.

I keep waking with a funny taste in my mouth and today I had a bit of bleeding from between 2 teeth.
I have smoked for nearly 25 years...stopped smoking and started vaping 2.5 weeks ago and now get indications of problems.
Has anyone else had any issues like this?
I'm hoping it's just the change over that has caused it.
Also, this might be coincidence but it seems to have only started since vaping the Cosmic Fog Milk and Honey.
I have almost ran out anyway so will try something else.

Sore gums and a bit of bleeding happen to a lot of people when they switch to vaping. Same happened to me but it soon stopped. It's your body adjusting (more oxygen, receding gums etc). It's been suggested that smoking could have been masking some gum disease, so maybe a visit to the dentist is in order (just to be on the safe side).

There's a good read here:

I noticed bleeding gums shortly after i started vaping, my dentist has told me that smoking caused my gums to recede and now that ive stopped the blood is flowing back to the gums which are now smaller and thus bleed. Smoking causes gum disease and ive got it so get your dentist to check.

Ah, ok....I've just had the letter for a check up anyway.

switching from smoking to vaping made my mouth get dry - which is due to vaping. A few weeks in and I started hacking up brown stuff, chest aches, sore gums etc which apparently is due to stopping smoking. I feel much better now for it!

I had the fluid on my chest and tight feeling teeth but I still smoke 2 or 3 normal's a day. I have found though that my nose is clearer and everything tastes better which is bliss now!

My only vaping gripe is the different juices. Some have the bad bits in them and some don't work with individual people. If more sellers did independent checks and displayed them to the public it would help some people have more confidence in vaping, it is after all the most fun way to give up smoking!

Which kind of issues are you talking about? Some find they don't react well to PG but outside of that I can't think of anything.

What bad bits?

pgi947 · 22 Oct 2015 at 14:44

Someone care to email me a vapor-z discount code? iirc I have a 15% one at home that I have used a few times in the past but don't have access to it atm, need to get some green crack ordered pronto.

I would assume he means the potentially dangerous chemicals such as Diacetyl.

Most commonly found in custards and buttery flavours, it's been linked to some nasty diseases when inhaled
