Hey guys, has anyone used the
soft zirconium wire? It has a different resistance than the springy wire but should be easier to make coils. I have some coming in 0.40mm (5.7ohm / meter) and 0.35mm (7.50ohm / meter).
It's been years since I played with anything outside my normal build so I'm not quite sure where to start with it. I will be using it in my TAE when it comes. I'm used to making kanthal microcoils around ~1ohm and since the TAE needs lots of cotton I want to change the diameter to something a bit bigger. Any suggestions using this soft wire?
I do have an atty ohm reader and certainly will play with it, but figured I'd ask here if anyone had suggestions for a nice coil build to use with a mech mod with this soft zirconium wire. Just looking for a good place to start.
Is 1ohm of kanthal the same effect as 1ohm of zirconium?
Not sure if I should have the coils touching, spaced out, what diameter, # of wraps, all that jazz. I know it's a matter of personal preference, I just don't want to waste a bunch of wire making coils that are way off the mark

so I figured maybe someone might have a simple "start here" type of coil
I know Imeo said he uses 0.4mm Zirconium with 7 threads on a 2.5 or 3mm axis, so I might start there but I think that might be for the stiffer zirconium.. so maybe an extra wrap for the soft?
Trying to play catch-up on all this new info!
No worries, though, I can certainly just play around and test my coils, just figured I would ask you folks who are more experienced with this wire.
Thanks guys
