All Hail @stealthvape...
Finally a wire that makes Temperature control easy to do, Rob's NiFe30 variant is a sheer delight to work with, stronger than Nickel, easier to coil than Titanium, sensible resistances - this wire has it all. Oh and did I mention that you can dry burn it? and when you do it goes an interesting "Stealth" black...
I've only built 4 coils so far, the first was an unmitigated disaster, mostly because an insane Jack Russell tried to jump on my lap while I was setting the coil in place, The second, A slightly spaced affair virtually threw itself into my Viggo dripper and worked from the first firing with an evenness and accuracy that was somewhat uncanny. The third in a KF4 Behaved immaculately when testing in power mode, producing a nice even glow and setting into place easily when gently squeezed as it cooled. Once wicked and fired it behaved in a most peculiar fashion - eventually traced to the KF4's utterly shitty connection system, even after cleaning it the TC mode refuses to rise above 350f, probably due to the KF4's poor connection quality. The fourth, just built in my Heron, wrapped easily, fitted quickly and simply, gave a fairly even glow on the first firing. Then, after a gentle squeeze as the coil cooled to set it into the traditional microcoil a second test fire produced a solid even glow reminiscent of a Kanthal build, a quick strum with a pointy tool revealed the coil to be fairly sturdy, probably the equivalent of a Kanthal coil of the same gauge. I threw a wick in it, More cotton than I'd normally use on a Nickel build, Juiced it up, popped the tank on and took a vape...
Ah, bliss - Exactly the kind of vape I like and expect from my Heron; warm, moist and flavourful. this is probably the easiest TC build I've done in the Heron, No struggling with soft and fragile Nickel, no need to bully recalcitrant Titanium into place - Just a quick, simple build with flavour and reliability...
As an added bonus, Niffy the Wonder Wire has a TCR closer to Ni200 so will require far less of a temperature offset in things like the DNA40 making it a great all rounder...
If you haven't got any, get it now, once word gets around it'll fly off the shelf...
