So I got some spider silk in. Not sure how I feel about tc. I like a really hot vape that tc fails to safely be able to control with titanium on my snow wolf anyhow.
The highest safe temp I can go without browning my cotton is about 360 f. Anything higher and I will slightly brown my cotton if I run every last drop of juice out my rda (mutation x v4). I got 9 wrap on a 3mm coming out to about .25 ohms I think. The snow wolf bounces ohms when firing. The flavor is there, I get a lot more hits then with kanthal, but the temp is a bit lower then when I use kanthal. I tried to bring temp up and it will burn cotton. I tried at 650 degree and got a nice Lil tourch. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a mod limitation or a tc limitation? I'd love to hit the 500 degree range.
Snow wolf 200
Mutation x v4
Dual 26 awg coil 9 wraps 3mm id.
70 watts
350 degrees
Would like to be in 500 degree range.

Yes. What was the question?

Just so you can't say I didn't tell you ... firing a Ti build on a Ni200 mod skews the relationship between actual coil temperature and temperature setting. Your Snow Wolf setting of 350F is regulating your Ti build to over 440F. Dry cotton's singe temp is just under 420F, so you should keep your wicks juiced at your current setting.

You are not experiencing a TC limitation. Rather, it is a build limitation. You aren't going to have much success at 500F until you're build can handle 500F. Dry cotton's burn temperature is your limitation. You might try rediwick (or something else with a higher ignition temperature) if these temperatures are important to you.

Yeah I read somewhere that Ti would be close to a 100 degrees off on a snow wolf. So your exactly right. I tried a few wicking methods and this is the best I could get out of cotton. The highest temp possible is as important as flavor for this flavor chaser. On kanthal I get 2 hits max before redripping. I will settle for slightly less temp to not have a dry hit again but I'm hoping I can do better that this. This has to be the best help I've got yet on TC yet. Thanks so much. I'll look into Rediwick now. If you can think of other higher ignition options please do inform, i dont care about cost. I'll research as well. I never thought about wicking options, thanks.

I think it just takes some messing around and learning. I run into poor performance from time to time, seems to mostly be from locking in temp wrong or forgetting. Get great results Ti and Ni 26g, with 2.5 and spaced, I don't dry burn either and find spaced to eliminate hot spots that come up. I am cautious with both and with try to keep Temps lower side, I try and keep up with safety concerns that constantly get brought up but not enough time to be confident on safety so error on safer side until if ever I catch up.

Retired a number of devices and only use VT and D2, generally 30-40w 400-520 degrees. Keeping eye on Dna200, and probably retire VT. Just got too complicated with too many devices and too many tanks.

I messed up my first attempt of a Ti coil. It's really soft stuff. But I got it figured out now. I always had great luck on coil building but I've always been great with my hands. I did squeeze my coil together, I dry fired but only on temp mode so it wouldn't get red hot. I then wash it with moonshine then water. Seems to fire well. I'll try spaced next. Im at 70 watts now and all seems fine so long as I stay 350 degrees or lower, which is prolly closer too 440. It never gets to 70 watts though. I could poll bump it to 450 or 500 for the first hit then back it down but that's to much work. This thing will prolly go 4 days without a recharge at this rate. I'm going to drop in a few vape stores and try to find a better wicking option. I'm very suprised how well tc works as far as no dry hits. This thing will provide great tasting hits all the way through until the cotton is dry as the desert. I just need it to be hotter to be perfect. I am the only person I know that likes it as hot as I do though. Everyone that's tried my setups generally jumps the second they hit my fire button on a kanthal setup. I love when I'm done with my hit I can lick my warm teeth and get that hot juice off of them. It's like a flavor saver.

Ti soft? Are you sure you're not talking about Ni? Ti is very springy and not at all soft in my experience. Ni on the other hand is a pain to work with!

When you do contact coils with Titanium you use a mech or other device capable of fire that low in wattage mode, QUICK pulses, squeeze out hotspots and it will turn blue/green, if it turns white get rid of the coil. That's how I've been doing it, works very well. I prefer contact to spaced coils.
