Question about coils and TC.

[tethlah]

I just purchased my first set of hardware. I got a Reuleaux RX200 for my mod, and an Arctic V8 for my tank. I was looking at temperature control, which is the route I think I want to go, but I'm pretty sure the Arctic V4 quad coil's clapton wire is made from kanthal. The RX200 only supports SS, Ti, and Ni. SO my thought is I can take the V4 casing and just rebuild it using a stainless steel wire.

My question is, if I use the casing the V4 has, and replace the Clapton coil with Stainless Steel coil, would that be the same as just having stainless? Or does the material that the casing is made out of matter too? I honestly don't know what the housing is made from.

I'm totally new to all this, I'm completely new to vaping. But I thought it would be great to just do my own coils and rebuild 4 or 5 v4 coils every month and only spend a few bucks on wire and cotton than to be purchasing complete replacements every month.

If you know how to replace the coil with your own SS coil, that will work.

Ok, i just wanted to make sure that the resistance measured by the mod was based solely on the coil. I didn't know if the housing was somehow involved and by not using a different housing the TC would be screwed up.

One thing I'm not sure of though, the new update for the RX200 says it's changing stainless TC to SS316. What does that mean exactly, does it change how I need to pick the stainless wire at all?

The TC SS316 is specifically tuned for SS 316 (type) of wire. I'm currently using the UD SS 316L wire, and the Crown replacement coils (also SS), without any issues on any of my mods, including RX200. Worse case, you can program one of the TCR memory slots.
