Stupid question?

Can we do a group prayer for this lad?

Also - most electronics are gold plated somewhere - leaves from old ram sticks are common. But unless you do it on a really large scale it's a waste of time. Not that profitable without a big recycling / chemical company

That's easy just type "gold recovery from electronics" in Google and it will take you to lot of YouTube videos, to show you what to use and how it's done.
If you find that it's too much of the hassle, you can simply get some 18-30G wire from Ebay http://www.ebay.com/bhp/24k-gold-wire ;)

On the more serious note:
Avoid copper, aluminum and silver for the simple fact that most of their salts (easily formed under high temperature) are extremely poisonous.
While (in contrast to copper, aluminum and silver) gold wire would be perfectly safe (healthwise) to vape on the regulated mod (only) and you could make functional coils from 26-30G tick wire, price for those coils could be fairly prohibitive, for the most of us.

Maybe would be the best if you check these guys out:

I'm pretty sure gold is not viable at subohm temps. It just melts - from what I have read up on. Try platinum instead, although the chemical changes in platinum are unknown after continuous high temp heating, unknown at least to the vaping industry.

Excuse my ignorance, but what are subohm temperatures? Gold melts @ 1064 degrees Celsius.

Would that not depend on the carat?
I don't have real life experience, but melting doesn't necessarily mean to a liquid state but rather soft enough to bend out of shape. As far as I've read up, gold is not viable. I have no personal experience ofc.

Also, it would melt / soften more when dry burning rather than vaping.
 
So, you say you're using gold... At what ohm / wattage?
 
On my Velocity 2 clone: 26G, 24K, 3mm ID, 18 wraps sleeper build 0.06 ohm, works great from 45-60 watts.


Edited : PS Coil like that would be around 0.54g, cost about R280.00 and it would look great on my Velocity (in theory).;)
Cheers

Sounds epic, could you post a pic? I'd be interested in it for the novelty of having gold coils. Have just read that a lot of people have tried unsuccessfully.

@Raindance - Yes, of course Stainless steel is also an alloy - I didn't elaborate because it's so common. Have to disagree with you on the main constituents though. SS is primarily iron and it is the chromium and to a lesser extent molybdenum components that makes it corrosion resistant.... The carbon content is actually very low. Carbon hardens iron so higher percentages are used where more strength is required, but typically carbon is well under 1% in SS.

Without the carbon it would however be called Stainless Iron, therefore the importance placed on its presence.

Ok? what about a lightbulb filament?

That would be Tungsten ................... has a very high melting point +3000 deg C but alas it oxides very readily. So you would need to vape in a vacuum or a place without oxygen neither being very practical.:(

Whilst we are on the subject of incandescent lamps I would just like to point out it was not Thomas Edison who invented the incandescent lamp it was Sir Joseph Swan.

I would love a coil that could last for a year and did not gunk up
Nano tech, self cleansing type
Wish the coilers would make something like this!
:rolleyes:
 
@Spongebob - where are you situated? I have about 10 rolls of coil at home and I am sure I can give you a metre or so without it hurting my stash. Then you can test the safe way. :)
