Im wanting to know what gauges in 316L to get for big taste, and of the flavor vapor cloud i want to get are like from tfv4 a rafale/crown. Can you make a SS claptos? Also what gauges ni200 for same attributes also can you make ni200 clpatons. I would love like hear of coil designs nothing crazy just fitting my above asks. These need to fit griffin mostly but a VCMT. What other wites work in temp control with the evolve? Im just getting into temp control with the dna 200 and I wanted to know what all wires work tc.

You can actually buy premade SS Clapton wire. I am running it right now in my Billow V2 Nano on my HCigar VT200 and it works great in TC. I'm not sure what you are asking about but with the DNA 200 chip by Evolve, you can pretty much use any temp control wire, SS, nickel, Titanium, etc. as long as you download the setting from Steam Engine.

Basically any wire in this chart but Kanthal.

My favorite TC wire is SS430 because of all of the available SS grades 430 has ~50% higher TCR. SS316 and 317 are on the low end of what TC can control - ie they can be finicky. SS can be used in TC and power mode. A very versatile wire indeed.

Ni200 works well but is very malleable and with dual coils it can be a struggle to build over .05 ohms.

Ti01 is higher in resistance and not as malleable - probably my second choice after SS430.

I've never used Nife so I can't give you an opinion on it. I've never heard of anyone using Tungsten.

PS The TCR rating tells the mod how much the resistance will rise as temperature rises. The bigger the the TCR number, the more of a change and vice versa.

PSS *The DNA200 can handle a TCR as low as .0008, but as I said when it's at the low end it can get very finicky. The slightest deviation of resistance will throw TC off.*
I'll also add your atty has to be stable. Not all are equal when it comes to TC
