Aromamizer Ti wire build suggestions?

[gezmond]

Getting one for crimbo and I have 22g and 24g titanium wire from the crazy wire co.

I'm currently using a parallel 22g Ti build in my derringer clone which works nicely (yes its a contact coil that has been pulsed very carefully at 10w - naughty naughty me lol)

Anyways, seeing as the Aromamizer is a tank I assume that a dual coil 24g build would be preferable to the 22g?

I'm using an IPV3Li so I'm restricted to Nickel or Titanium wire. Does anyone have a build that works especially well with this tank with Ni or Ti?

You can use other wires (except SS), you just need to offset the temperature accordingly. I prefer using NiFe48 for dual coils rather than Ti - NiFe48 has comparably TC accuracy but I find it much easier to build than Ti.

I'd forget about Ni200 on the Aromamizer, the grub screws will slice straight through it. @Mr Numpty might be able to give you pointers for Ti builds.

I prefer 26 gauge Ti in the rdta but a dual horizontal 24 gauge 8 wrap x 3mm ID, lightly spaced build will get you a workable resistance around .12 Ohms and a nice vape.

You could try this build configuration with Ti, though this is actually a NiFe30 build - single wire, 2 x 7 wraps of 0.4mm (26g), 2.4mm ID, legs into the lower post holes.
Try it with 22g and 24g, 2 x 5-7 spaced wraps with the airflow set with all 4 holes diagonally.

Looks boss that build mate, how did you get the gap in there?

Wind up the first set of wraps then pull the wire sideways along the former before wrapping the next set on the same former. It's fingers and thumbs ...
Once you have the legs trapped you can bend the coil to create the curve. Ti would probably be frustratingly springy to achieve this arch easily, NiFe30 and kanthal are much easier to work with.

A variation on this is to create two spaced (or microcoiled) verticals from a single wire ... 26/32g clapton in this example. You need to run a little wick over the top to keep the S-shaped bridging wire from overheating.

Nice one fella il give it a go later with some kanthal, got some nife30 on order from SV so if all goes well lol il have a go with that aswell

Like the look of that clapton build aswell!

What difference does it make only being one wire, Is it classed as single coil? In steam engine and whatnot.

Yes, it's a single coil even when you split the heat points ... when you dry fire you'll see how it performs just like a single.
The advantage is that you don't half the ohms as you would with dual coils ... with TC wires you get more stability with higher ohms ... that's what I've learned from the experts like @danb

With claptons at 1.0 ohm plus I can put more volts through than I can at 0.3 or 0.4 and find this delivers better flavour not just more clouds ... not sure I understand the physics behind it, might have something to do with heat flux.

Thanks a lot @scrumpox much appreciated

Time to get building me thinks...
