Good stuff....made a couple 24ga SS coils for a Petri, I was amazed how much I liked the 24 compared to 28. Was able to crank the wattage way up in power mode, delicious vape.

HCIGAR VT133/VT167 Dual 18650 DNA200/250
- Thread starter Wingsfan0310
- Start date
Only thing I can think of is to run the Case Analyzer from the Mod tab in EScribe.
I won't say it was a day/night difference on my 133s, but it did make a difference.
Thanks, I'm also thinking it could be the TCR in the materials tab for the SS316 they included. I'm going to compare to Steve's profile for the VT.
Or, you could always go to Steam-Engine and get the curve for the material and use it.
I've found little difference in using TCR or the curve, but since it should be more accurate and is easy, why not use the curve?
Agreed ShowerHead.. I'm using the curve in my VT133 ecig file I posted. I used the curves for all the TC profiles except the one labeled SS 430 TCR (I also have a SS430 Curve - SS430 is what I mainly use so I wanted to be able to go back and forth. I use the curve now though after some playing around with both).
Cheers,
Steve

@Wingsfan0310 - It has arrived and thanks to your profile and suggestions the SMOK has provided a very pleasant first experience. Graphics in the profile are "Da Bomb". I've still a whole lot to learn, but now I don't feel any pressure, and I'll always have a handy stress reliever while I do.

have to say.. I failed to do that.. keep putting it off.. prob should get to it eventually ;p
very nice SteelDriver - have a spare cover coming in and that is what I'm planning on for it. Did you pop off the logo plaque or just tape?
is that like .... a tattoo ? ;p
You know that colorful TCR chart that gets posted frequently?
I think he has that inked... somewhere.
Popped off didn't even have to add glue it stuck right back on and if you have access to a sand blaster that would be even better.

I mis-spoke, I meant the curve, terminology to learn
- Did notice differences between the Steve's VT133 profile and the Triade for the material temp curve. Looking for a CSV file to use as an example so I can edit Steve's curve into the Triade. Using the editor in Evolve won't allow me to remove the -100 starting point and replace it with the -58 for the values I found on the Evolv site, and I think Steve's curve starts there as well.
So you means it has magnet ?
No the glue that was already on it stuck right back

I do, I still use my dna3s and 40s sometimes, but I would love a good solid dna mod with a little more power and that that tiny form factorI don't have much use for single battery mod....But 60.00 i would be all in

Well considering I bought the VT133's for under $80 and the DNA75 chip is at least $20 cheaper I probably wouldn't pay more than $60.
I'm actually not really into single battery mods. So even at $60, I'd rather put in the extra cash and get another VT133. That is providing Ecig restocks them.

Steve

The one I'm going to have the most trouble resisting is the Lavabox DNA75. Providing it makes it out by 8-8. I have a soft spot for the Lavabox's.

It uses a single 18650. If they come out with it in Blood Red it's going to be all over but the shouting

And so it starts. I just received this email from Essential Depot:
Dear Steven,
As of August 1st 2016 the price of Essential Depot's 4 Gallon VG and PG GlyCubes are going up by a minimum of 13% (from $39.00 to at least $44.00). As VG/PG customer I wanted to give you the chance to stock up and beat the price increases.
To order visit -> USP KOSHER Pharmaceutical Grade VG and PG - Drums and Glycubes. Glycubes only $39.00 until midnight EST Sunday
The upcoming Feb 2017 Federal E-Cig Regulations have caused a spike in sales to the 5000+ Vape Shops we supply. The associated demand spike across the industry has caused VG and PG prices to go up significantly. Our manufacturer and supplier is giving us one more week to purchase at our current price. Please help keep your price as low as possible by ordering at the current price before August 1st.
Thank you again for being an Essential Depot customer
Cheers,
Steve
Edit: You know Nic will be next

Thanks for posting that sale too, I picked up a 4 pack as well so I think I am good for a long while.
Hey My Friend Steve,
Since long I haven't seen you (infact never met you
) so let me know when should I visit you
? On the side note I will make sure @MercuryVaper should not be with me as he is keeping an eye on your stash
A real nice guy on this thread sent me some Nife52 to try. I just received it today and the TC graph is as flat as it gets. I'm really impressed. The vape is so smooth I was able to turn up my Temp to 440F from 420F. I'm not sure I should mention who it was but thank you Sir, very generous indeed! 
Cheers,
Steve
Edit He also sent me some SS316L Clapton wire (28, 36) to try. I'm like a kid in a candy store right now!

It's a different wire (alloy) that can be used in TC. Here's its composition. It has a TCR of .004036. That's between Ni200 and Ti01.
Chemical composition
Name Main Composition (%)
Fe - Bal.
S - <0.01
Ni - 52
C - <0.05
P - <0.01

If you buy it here www.zivipf.com it's called NiFe48, NiFe30 from www.zivipf.com is Nifethal 70 (alloy 120). Depending on just where you buy from sometimes it can be quite confusing as to what TCR to use.
Here's the TC graph of the NiFe52. It runs right along the Temperature Set line. It's Damn near perfect!
NiFe52 @470F, 2.5mm Dual Coils, 7 wraps, .14 ohms, on a Supreme
NiFe52 @430F, 2.5mm Dual Coils, 7 wraps, .14 ohms, on a Supreme

Steve, I am just going to think of you as my official bank depleter.
My VT133 is arriving tomorrow. Could not wait for Hcig. Ordered from Eciggity the other day. $109 minus 10% (coupon code 10percentoff) brings it down to $98 which is good enough for me. And they do have free shipping but it doesn't come with ins so sprung for Priority Mail. And now you show me these batt covers. You're worse than watching the shopping network. I'm going to have to block your account pretty soon. 
Steve, I am just going to think of you as my official bank depleter.
I like to think of it as I save you money. I try to only talk about things that I wish I would have bought first instead of stuff that left me unsatisfied. Hows that for spin?My bank has just informed me that they are placing a block on anything Steve says......it is costing me too much money

While you didn't graph it (I never do either) Escribe caught a hint of the tremendous resistance rise, relative to our Stainless. And that's NiFe's TCR selling point.
Oh yeah... and "dual use" like our SS (which is my main reason for using SS).
Or is it? And what about that nickel content? Dry burn safe? Use spaced coils only?
I've had NiFe on the watch list since last Nov/Dec... but I haven't run across those answers.
This is my first time using NiFe52. They have NiFe70 also. The number is the % of Ni, what's left is basically Iron. I'm not sure it it's dual use (I don't think so though) - I'm in research mode now. I think you can gently dry burn it but I wouldn't glow it like Kanthal. It's definitely a lot less malleable than Ni200. I'm really liking it so far. I'll know more by tomorrow.
Cheers,
Steve
PS I used spaced coils. I always do with everything in TC. I know it's not absolutely necessary but I like to make my life easier. I've found you have less issues with spaced coils in TC no matter what the material is you are using.

There you go again!! You're the Rip Trippers of VU!!!!
In all seriousness, I really think you are going to like the mod. We wouldn't talk about it so much if we didn't think it was a great mod. When you get it, if you have any questions - fire away. Lots of knowledgeable people here that are willing to help.Steve, I am just going to think of you as my official bank depleter.

Just FTR I love Rip Trippers. Yes, he gets excited about nearly every product and makes them all look great (and that's what reminded me of this thread b/c we're all so excited about this stuff and the 'new thing' is endlessly replaced with an even newer thing... even before the last thing new arrives in the mail)
, but people have to make their own decisions and it's totally bogus when someone blames another for 'making them buy something.' Which many blame Rip for, as if he makes anyone do anything. So while I am sure I will be thrilled with the VT133 if for any reason I didn't prefer it, that wouldn't reflect on anything but my own personal tastes. And I feel very fortunate to have reviewers like Rip and helpful people like you in the vaping community to try all the many things I can't or haven't yet... what would vaping be like without these reviewers or these forums!! A much duller, lonlier place!! So THANK YOU one and ALL!! Vape long & prosper!!
