I am curious what is the original and that is why I was asking! Your going to have me ordering Ni-Chrome and rebuilding the Pods for my sweetie!
My multimeter arrived, I checked the resistance of a couple of myjet pods and it was 1.3 ohms. I compared the wire diameter (by eyeballing) to my Temco Nichrome 80 30AWG and 32 AWG, its smaller than 30, looked close to the 32, however checking Steam Engine, Nichrome 80 31 AWG at 7 wraps, 0.5 mm spaced, gives 1.3 ohms. Kanthal A1 has to be 30 AWG to get to 1.4 ohm with those wraps, and sure its not quite that large, it looks to be between 30 and 32 AWG, which also puts it at 31 AWG Nichrome 80. Temco doesn't sell 31 AWG, so I might buy some elsewhere.
I made two 1.5 mm inside diameter micro coils, 1 using 30 AWG Nichrome 80, 7 wraps spaced, and put it in my new Kayfun V3 clone, came out to 1 ohm, vaped at 7.5 W. The second was 32 AWG Nichrome 80, 7 wraps spaced, came out to 1.6 to 1.7 ohms, put than in my Kanger subtank mini with the V1 RBA deck, vaped at 8W. Put the same NET juice in both, and both give a very good vape but I have to give the KF V3 Mini the edge. Both are much better than the stock 1.8 ohm nautilus coil in a nauty or kabuki clone or triton mini. Not quite as good ad the Myjet, which I am at this point suspecting the tighter draw of the Myjet gives a denser vape and thus a little more flavor. Also I am wondering if the shape of the coil housing and chimney (oblong around the coil width) is a factor.
I like the Nichrome 80 from Temco, no break in needed, clean flavor, easier to work - stiffer and not springy like Kanthal 30 AWG. A thought - I vape 80 pg/20vg, if you vape high VG you will probably want a little larger ID coil, maybe 2 mm, which should help the wicking.
