Hi all! Just started getting into TC vaping, and after days of research, reading and watching I decided to go for Titanium wire as I've read and seen that it's easier to work with as it's less springy and some have said it vapes cleaner etc. Its being run on the new Kanger Kbox 200 which I also picked up (had a discount code and got shiny syndrome!) And .3mm or 28g titanium wire from cremedevape.co.uk Got myself the SMOK tfv4 as I've seen so many people raving about it. Went straight for the RBA deck Despite my research and video watching I still haven't quite got it right and managed to give myself a good blast of TiO2 based on my light-headedness and slight headache!! Wanted to see if anyone has any tips before I get the courage to try again.. don't really fancy a full on blast of welders fever.. or any other adverse health effects. Any tips welcome, i am new to this after all

probably just me but I found the TF-R1 to be a pig for hot legs due to the distance between the coil and the holes in the terminal. Not knowing how the kanger tc is dialed in but unless you haven't got the resistance within tc parameters technically the coil shouldn't get hot enough to produce TiO.
The joy of TC being that even if your wicking is way out the dry coil/temperature control would still work.
I'd tentatively say that your 28g wire has too high a resistance for the TC to operate. Possible that the range may be 0.05 > 0.3 ohms? I use 5 turn 24g for single coils around 0.2 @ 25w in tanks and dual 7 turns for around 0.13 in a dripper. Even 0.4mm can exceed the upper limits for single coils, try twisting your 0.3mm to get the resistance down,

Even 0.4mm can exceed the upper limits for single coils, try twisting your 0.3mm to get the resistance down, That is a very good idea, you are right ive seen the legs of the coil start glowing, I heard so many good things about the tf rba deck but maybe it's the dual coil version that everyone loves. I'll twist it up and see how I get on and make a much lower resistance coil, they keep coming out at around .5 to .6 ohms so you might be onto something there! Will use a calculator to try and get it to around .2 and post back how I get on!

Thanks very much for the suggestion mate. The flavour coming out of this is incredible. Think next time around I'll be getting thicker Ti wire so it makes lower resistance coils without twisting. And then there's that lovely dual coil RBA deck for the tfv4.... shinies...

nice one, pleased to know that I'm not the only one to learn from my mistakes I'll be ordering 0.6mm next time around for single coils on the RCA clapton deck.
