I’ve seen many coil heads with many different colored o-rings and packaging. Some companies have adopted internal standards, but I really think the standards should be industry wide. I think this important for those who can’t see the tiny laser inscriptions on the heads themselves which sometimes indicates the coil material. Also those who have 20 (use your own number) loose coil heads sitting in front of them with lost or tossed out packaging.
What I was thinking…
- Ti – Yellow
- NI – Red
- SS – Blue (a shade easily distinguishable from black)
- Kanthal – Black
Why these color selections?
The brighter colors are a warning and indicate TC coils which could potentially produce harmful byproducts when overheated. Dimmer… Blue, to indicate a coil that could be used as a TC or standard wattage coil. Black… No TC.
We can even use pink once the new Greekmantium coil heads become available. 😉
Regardless of what colors are selected, it needs to be an industry wide standard adopted and supported by all manufacturers. IMHO, that is what’s most important.
Yes, I’m well aware that this won’t help the color blind, or the blind blind for that matter. We’ll need another solution for them. Perhaps easy to feel “pips” on the head to indicate the material.
I would really like to see the major manufacturers such as Innokin, Kanger, Aspire, and Joyetech get on board and adopt some kind of standard here.
