Sold out, but this looks like a better deal for 32 gauge, depending on what they charge for s/h. I hadn't heard of tank Ecigs before. Anyone have any experience with them, good, bad, or ugly?

Sold out? It says they have 1973 in stock. I want to buy but i am also wanting some feedback.

I just ordered some 30 ga resistance wire on eBay. 100 ft for $5 sounds like a pretty good deal.

Kanthal A resistance wire 30 AWG, 100 ft

Hope I added that link correctly...

I hope it works out for you. The usually recommended 32 gauge KA-1 stuff is I think around 45 ohms per meter; your 30 gauge, 28 Ω/m. If you traditionally wrap 4-turn coils, this stuff might require 6 to get the same resistance you're used to. It might be a little springier since it's a little thicker as well. If it's a pain to manipulate, season it in a flame to make it less springy.

I know it's a bit heavier wire but was hoping I could make it work since the price is so low. This will actually be my first try making coils so we'll see how it goes and will get the smaller 32 or 34 ga wire if needed.

I see you're in Johnson City, TN which ironically enough I was visiting this past weekend. I bought this wire within a couple hours after getting back home to SC the other night! Beautiful part of the country it is up there.
