There is a 3D Printer Tungsten Premium Nozzle on Kickstarter right now you may be interested is checking out.

Pretty cool, good find! But not sure it's worth the extra price and lead time over an e3d hardened steel nozzle in my case but others may find this better, idk!

Yes, I am currently using this E3D v6 Extra Nozzle - Stainless Steel - 1.75mm x 0.40mm right now and it seems good for the price. amzn.com/B00Q7799OI

Took me a little bit to get it dialed in though. Had some problems with layer adhesion until I realized that I needed to turn up the heat a little and slow the print speed down a little. The stainless does not conduct heat as efficiently as the brass (credit goes to some random Google search for helping me figure this out lol). #Imagine a life without Google!

I did one print just fine; then tried to do a second with all the same settings and the same stl file and the extruder is having issues pushing filament through the nozzle (its clicking). So maybe I need to slow the extrusion speed down a bit and increase the temperature.

First print with the new nozzle was good. started printing some other things and just went downhill from there. must have gotten lucky with the first one lol. anyway I actually put my old nozzle back on before I found the problem was the temp and speed. put the stainless nozzle back on bumped up the temp to 220 and slowed her down to 50mm/sec and she started she started to purr like a kitten. did get quite a bit of very fine stringing but nothing a quick blast from the heat gun didn't take care of.

Yes, temp 220 seems to be working well with this nozzle. However I seem to be having issues with Simplify3D; it just froze in mid-print. If I print two of the same object at the same time I hear the extruder clicking and the print fails. This does not seem to happen printing just one object. I check the nozzle flow after the print fails and the filament flows fine so I don't think the nozzle is the issue here.
