Using Kanthal wire i pulsed the coil and there was a few dead spots. How do I fix this? Does doing this remove any metal taste off the wire
More importantly my wire after I pulsed it looks charcoal grey. Is that normal.I held down the fire button for 3 seconds(trying to get even heat distribution). Turned off my device and noticed the coil has moved because of the heat. Touched the coil with a screwdriver and it was split. Coil was a .42 running at somewhere around 40 watts no cotton just heating up the coil. Is this the norm or is my device running too Hot.
My cotton also has singed a little too. Should it be packed loosely or tight?
