This is the wire that I use but it doesn't say what gauge the NR wire is. Does anybody know? Kanthal Ready Wires

The vape lab. I think I saw a few articles on it. I dont think we have caught up with America when it comes to vape shops and the like. And we probably wont with these regulations coming round in may. Check it out and tell me what you think. Where you staying in london?

Thanks. Hopefully I'll have some time to check it out. I'm staying in Notting Hill, but I lived in the UK for two years so I know my way around.

A cup chipped on the stem is still usable. In fact a wounded cup is less likely to suffer further damage. It's got more wiggle room lol!

This is another excellent point. If a cup chips, don’t fret. I use chipped ceramic as long as it holds its form.

A chipped base simply may gain you a little freedom and to lag your pos lead the other way. A chipped upper wing may simply require the neg lead the other wing. The chips that interfere with the wire route may be the problem. Or those that flat out split in two. Other wise they are safely usable and alter nothing. (may even gain some wick room).

Yeah, I have a pile of chipped tubes/posts that I'm saving as backups for when I run out.

I don't know if this is useful advice but ever since Techno told me to do everything with the base attached (threaded to my provari) to something then it was easier to keep the ceramic safe. I do the little screwdriver jiggle as well and once I get a little movement I use fingers.

The other thing is If I am really stuck I remove wick and use a blunt needle through the coil to lift the coil gently. That also seems to release the cup from the pin so you can just lift off with fingers,

^ I never press fit it tight ~ so am usually able to remove the cup pretty easily. And whenever if it does act up ~ that's the trick I do as well.

Sorry I'm fashionably late again. I know you want a B&M but have you tried any houseofliquid yet? If not and if you are a tobacco hound, do have a look.

I use those wires. The NR legs are 32g and the R part is 33 or 34g -just a bit thinner.

Thanks, but I'm only here another few days, so if it's not a B&M then I won't be able to partake.

Well crap! You said that 30ga was the max. That's probably why I can't get the damn cups out and are so hard to seat. But nobody tells you the gauge of the NR wire so what is a person suppose to do? I don't have a zapper so I can't make my own NR-R-NR. Tried that...it sucks.

The 32 legs on stormy are thinner than the 30g max mentioned. Maybe I’m getting slightly confused but the way I’m reading this, the stormy should go in easier than the 30 and therefore should come out easier.

(I swear I tried to keep up today *scratching head*)

The NR we use on the premades is 0,16mm which I believe translates to 34g

Yes. And in this case, that should almost fall in.

I meant max thickness. You're OK since 32g is thinner! Don't worry, tmcase, be happy!

EDIT: ah I see yankee already told you..

You're right. 32ga is thinner than 30ga. My bad. Maybe I should grease the whole damn cup when I seat it.

Really? Got a link so I'm sure of getting the right wire when I order more cups.

But I'm not happy. I just dread having to take that cup out.

I can't find premade wires (nr-r-nr), only ceramic cups with silica and spools of resistant wire and spools of non resistant wire. Help!

We don't have just premade wires in stock. We only have cups with premade coils inside.
