Thanks guys. Can anyone recommend a descent mod that has the SS function?

What sort of size do you want, xtc263? Single or double 18650, or something with a built-in battery? Any idea what sort of wattage you will be running? Budget?
Sorry for all the questions, but it might help us point you in the right direction!

Hi after posting this I done some research and the smok r200 got good reviews so ordered it off dnavapes with 2 lg batteries for £44 odd which wasn't bad

good to know SS is safe for a vw/vv vape..

I have taken a punt on these 316 coils from FT 28 AWG / 0.3mm dia. / 0.6ohm

Are the SS Coil builds really that much better in flavour?

Its worth knowing what SS wire you are going to use? SS comes in 304/316/316L/317L/340. For the evic mini, the built in SS mode is SS316, so I use the TCR mode to use SS316L correctly.

I've ordered some 316 wire of wire mess company to use in my rba's

I have some SS316L and SS317L I can send over. I doubt I will get much use out of it this end.

Good luck!

I find it can improve flavour slightly on some juices but I find it a bit harsh on others like yoghurts.
When it's working well it's good.
I find I have to really clamp it down well as it's so hard and it needs a good solid connection for decent tc

Cheers mikedidthis my last punt on FT pre-coiled tc wire resulted in Ni200 coils about 1cm long.. DOH!!

Thanks very much but I've ordered plenty to get me started

mikedidthis what is the difference between 316l and 317l? I've got 316l .32 mm and find it gives a cleaner vape to kanthal, but still confused as to the difference.

[phatfil]

And whats the "L" for ive seen reference to SS 316, 304 etc before but not with a L suffix ?? whats all that about??

OK google to the rescue

The difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel is that 316L has a .03 max carbon and is good for welding whereas 316 has a mid range level of carbon

so basically its welding wire we are vaping with... now that stuff comes in 5-10kg drums "Group Buy" hehe
