Anyone using NiFe 30 from Stealthvape?

[jtc]

I agree Nife30 is a great vape
Being 70% nickel it is not recommended to dry burn.
This is the only thing stopping me using is all the time.
Are you saying VapingBad you are dry burning it?
It would be great if we could
Changing a coil every time I rewick is not my idea of fun

Still on the first coils, but I dry burn all of them at 600 F temp limit which as far as I know is well below the level nasties can be created (IIRC > 1000 F) and wash them after. It doesn't quite clean as well as getting them glowing but does get most of the gunk off.  In the past I used to let nickel get dark red then put under cold water while still hot then rinse.

Hmmm yes the 600f trick I like
I might have to give it another go as it's definitely a nice smooth vape.

Are all 4 legs of the coils in the top 2 holes of the posts?
If so why please?

[VapingBad]

Yes jtc, it is to get the coils nice and high up while keeping the legs short, that build just suits me it restricts the airflow nicely and I don't need the airflow band. It also vapes well at much lower temps: 355 F where I would normally be at 380-400 F, I use 100% PG so YMMV.

I just prefer the flavour and can cope with the harshness, plus keeping the temp & smog down are big bonuses IMO.  I normally only vape one tobacco flavour and just don't like what VG does to it's flavour.   I try VG now an again, last time was about a month ago, I mix and steep some max VG and mix the with 100% PG to get different ratios, I think I lasted a bout a week until I just pored some 70:30 away and got back to normal, I only had it in one tank on the go not a complete switch.  I don't mind it so much with other flavours, but I don vape them.

Fair play to ya
That's the good thing about what we do is that we can tweak to suit

Hi guys.
Just out of interest ive just made up a coil using NiFe30 wire that was supplied with my Dicodes no6,but it said that the temp coefficient should be set at 320,not sure of the size but did 8 wraps, 2.5mm and getting 0.56ohms.Its vaping spot on and im very impressed with flavour etc. does this sound about right.
On the dicodes there is a setting for this wre and ive switched it to this.thanks

I believe so: www.dicodes-mods.com/dicodes-resistance-wire-nife30.html

The NiFe30 I have used is this: www.stealthvape.co.uk/wire/NiFe30-wire it has a different coefficient than the Dicodes version.

Yes if it is the same as SteamEngines's NiFe30 (Resistherm)

TCR in vaping range 3200 ×10^-6 link
0.25 mm coil would be about that, but the heatflux suggest watt range of 10-13 W link
