    Ni80 vs Kanthal?

    I've found that Ni80 in general has a metallic taste more often then not. I've searched all over and read this same thought. Some recommend Kanthal. Those of you who've tried Kanthal, in comparison to Ni80, share your thoughts and experience...if you will please.

    Kanthal or Ss316

    Wondering which gives better flavor, kanthal or SS316. I’ve been using kanthal in my Profile 1.5’s. Really like the mesh RDA’s. Never tried temp control but might like too. Opinions are very welcomed.

    Back To Basics: an A-1 Kanthal Parallel rda/rta coil build.

    This video is from a time when Rip Trippers was a more normal acting guy, and this coil build is an excellent and easy to follow tutorial. This coil works extremely well in both my older classic rdas, as well as newer single coil rtas. With this mail ban, what happens when you run out of your...

    Kanthal coils for a Fireluke 3 tank?

    I have a Fireluke 3 tank, and I love it. But I've been wanting to play with temp control on my device (Vaperesso Revenger X). I have tried several times using the SS TCR for 904L stainless, tweaking the tcr up and down, tweaking the max wattage, but cannot get anything like a real TC flow...

    Do SS coils require more power than Kanthal coils?

    I never used anything but Kanthal and Nichrome wire to build my coils. All things being 100% equal (wire gauge, coil type, coil diameter, ohms, etc) do SS coils require more power to run to get the same vapor as the exact same coil/resistance made from Kanthal or Nichrome wire?

    why does my SS temp control coil taste worse than Kanthal?

    I use 316 SS, and I made sure to space it out in my RDA build. For Kanthal wire, there is no spacing and when I dry fire, the heat is even. I feel I'm getting hot spots with temp control due to crackling noise and juice getting into my mouth. Also, to get any kind of satisfying vape requires...

    Kanthal goes bad ??? (Horrible burnt taste)

I opened my RBA multiple times just to...

    Kanthal Vs SS 316L MTL Build - my observations
