Been thinking of dipping a toe into the more advanced coil arena. Figured to start with simple single-core Clapton. Rather than buy pre-made coils I thought maybe to create my own Clapton wire. Local vape shop recommended 36 ga. SS316L over 26 ga. SS316L. But then I thought "I don't know if it's really worth the effort, so maybe buy some pre-made Clapton wire and try that, first?"
Looking at the offerings from one of the vendors, I saw just that--until I looked more closely. Turns out what they're selling is 36 ga. Kanthal over 26 ga. SS316L.
So the question is: Can you run such a coil in TC mode? How do you set the TCR? To the SS316L? Something else higher/lower?
And why Kanthal over SS316L, rather than SS316L over SS316L?
