That does seem right... If the chart shows actual color of the coil when fired... Then this makes lots of sense then :) Thanks @kimbo :)

Agreed, i must say that i have used quite a bit of the kanthal off of the spool and the first 20 or so coils were fine. Perhaps humidity in the office affected it or the fact that i handle that spool much more that i do the 24 or 28g. I just found this whole experience strange and thought i...

Exactly the same

Torch does nothing to it, but then again the torch cant get it close to as hot as it does when its fired on the mod..

Yip yip. I started noticing when i rewic and clean out my dripper, i dry burn the coil to get the gunk and old juice off and then this blue started to happen. Didnt think much of it. Then it happened again and again and again. Tested with my 24G, 28 and 32 and no problem, only my 26G that does it.

In my desk drawer together with my screw drivers and coil wrapping tools.

Just built a new coil and dry fired it a few times and al presto.

Thanks! Yeah i think that maybe they have been supplied a lower grade kanthal, perhaps D. I know when i enquired from a bulk importer, thay told me that they only supply Kanthal D. Perhaps this has now trickled down to us. Either way, we should insist on A1 only.

That sounds like a reasonable explanation. My igo l consists of brass posts and i replaced the screws with bigger headed stainless screws. No copper anywhere close sadly.

I have had no issues with my kanthal up until now. Im going to try a few tests to see if it is the extreme heat of the 0.2 ohm coil thats causing the rapid degradation of the wire. This didnt seem to happen with colder coils. So my conclusion thus far Extreme Heat = Nasty blue stuff.

Im not really a expert in metals and how they react to heat, but i cant really find anything on the web about kanthal oxidising or corroding.. This is super weird.

Won it at the jhb vape meet. Perhaps im firing it to hot so it starts to oxidise?

I have been noticing my kanthal doing this weird blue corrosion even when just firing it before it has seen any juice, and after a weeks vaping and then a dry burn the blue comes back and those blue pieces falls off causing the coil wires to thin out and creating serious hotspots. Im getting...

Ah yay! Cant wait! :)

Hey @Stroodlepuff , Any news on when the video will be uploaded? :)

It is really exciting!! I cant wait, it will be out in next weeks Friday section of the Mail & Guardian. He will be running a "Big Feature" :) Please can you PM me your number and direct E-mail address? I only have Gizmo's cell number.

Hey @Stroodlepuff , Garreth will be in contact with you guys about a feature he is doing in our Arts section about the meet. I gave him your guys number, he wants to get some info and obviously consent to do the story if thats cool with you guys?

Likewise, but @Reinhardt is the guy to watch

Haha, indeed. But if you could win one with hard work, why not :D

Well, obviously i would love to win as well as my mod is very screwd and times are here to replace it.
