Did you clean it with isopropyl alcohol ? Hate to see it thrown out. I haven't had any taste to kanthal as long as I clean it well.I can't explain the why, or the technical aspects of it, but I've purchased wire from a well known vendor that I didn't care for. I kept getting weird tastes from it, so I stopped using it. Then I saw a couple others say the same about theirs. I stick with Temco because of it.
Don;t matter, no amount of cleaning dry firing is going to make that LV crap worth the cost difference. The mom unit was getting headaches I was getting monster coughing.Did you clean it with isopropyl alcohol ? Hate to see it thrown out. I haven't had any taste to kanthal as long as I clean it well.
I haven't forgotten this post Lol I got some Temco NiCr 80 today. Holy shit what a difference compared to LV. First thing I noticed is when I pulsed. The coils didn't turn all kinds of wacky colors. The Temco wire is heating up faster, with a brighter cleaner taste. Thanks dude !Don;t matter, no amount of cleaning dry firing is going to make that LV crap worth the cost difference.

Temco or nothing.

You can get Temco from Amazon and eBay, too. Many times, though, it's directly from them, lol.Is there rebranded stuff or is Tecmo's website the only source for Tecmo wire?
Just checked their site and nichrome 80 is backordered for the next 3 months
Normally I get all my wire from Master of Clouds and it seems like high quality stuff. Super fast shipping too.
There may well be some that resell at a premium but most won't tell you. There is one reseller on Amazon asking $116 for 100 feet of TEMCo NI80 lol.Is there rebranded stuff or is Tecmo's website the only source for Tecmo wire?

No TC with the RX2/3 for kanthal. Only watts mode.You would need a Hohm Wrecker G2 or possibly a DNA box to do TC with kanthal.I'm new to coils, only used subolm coils! I have a RX23 can someone let me know what I put KANTHAL coils under, can't see Kanthal! Just Stainless steel etc!!! Can I put Kanthal under a temperature control? Thanks in advance
Thanks Gopher much appreciatedNo TC with the RX2/3 for kanthal. Only watts mode.You would need a Hohm Wrecker G2 or possibly a DNA box to do TC with kanthal.
