I bought this 25ft 24A1/32A1 wire for $2.50 and was thinking what a killer deal I got cause it said Kanthal Clapton coil wire lol. I wouldn’t even care if I could blow out a 6” long smoke cloud as long as it turns my “ pretty good milk and honey “ flavor into a “ OH HELL YEA NOW THATS MILK AND HONEY!!” If that makes any sense lol
I bought this wire off an online store on EBAY called KBEE VAPES. I ain’t never heard of them,actually I didn’t know .... bout what I was looking at lol. I saw $2.50 for 25 Kanthal Clapton wire and it’ll b at my house n less than 3 days so I bought it lol.

I paid $30 for a pair of pre-wrapped aliens. I wasn't impressed. In fact the flavor was off. I tried different wattages but never got the flavor I got from a simple round wire build.

Lately I've been using SS 316L fused claptons and have been enjoying them very much
Damn I didn’t know a single pair of coils could get that expensive. If I bought anything like that my would probably b like “ holy .... that would’ve bought u 8 packs of cigarettes and they’d been ready to smoke without another dime for juices or anything maybe u should start smoking again cause u said vaping was cheaper “ lmao

I loath KBee, their SS is fair and used to use it for my practice wire. I bought a batch of Kanthal directly from KBee and the wire was so filthy it turned my fingers black. I contacted them and they basically told me to go pack sand. I'm not the only one to get disgustingly filthy wire from them either.

In the future I recommend avoiding them, UD wire I've consistently dirty wire from them but not disgustingly filthy like KBee.

Anyway stick with brands that use Sandvik. Sandvik has been around forever plus they are the ones who invented and hold the patent on Kanthal.

As I mentioned before I source my genuine Sandvik wire from
Kidney Puncher
Atomizer Wick
Temco

KP and I'm pretty sure Atomizer Wick also sell Pre-spun wire and coils also.

Get a variable high speed drill and quality ball bearing fishing spinners. Then watch that YouTube I posted and after a few colossal failures it will just click. You'll become a fused Clapton machine ;) Seriously it's easy and very inexpensive using top quality wire.

And that my friend is exactly why I told u everything I ordered and from where lol. If u hadn’t came along and shared that info with me I’d probably have ordered more later and just assumed because it’s SS that it’s supposed to b dirty like this. I bet by god if their store was within driving distance they’d only have said that once lol. I’d have packed my cats .... box with her gifts and all intact an boxed it up and shoved it through their night deposit with my receipt lol. If I do u wrong it’s def not on purpose and I dang sure wouldn’t talk to u like it’s ur fault and not my own. I’m bout to go ahead and put those wire and vaping supply sites u just gave me on my google browser for future purchases even if it costs a few extra bucks. I ain’t trying to get no pink eye from making coils with doody wire

Love it, if they were close I'd have done it!

No worries but just remember I've shared my experiences and opinions, always keep your mind open and use what works for you. Too many people think it's a religion, reality is Vaping is so subjective/varied that you can customize it to you and that's why it works!

Just from our conversation today I have learned what I actually needed. I thought I needed directions to get all the way from A-D. When in fact u taught me there’s no directions to get there at all. U gave me my own A to start at so I can use what I got to get what I want. D for me isn’t the same for everyone by no means. Just the fact that u explained this to me and gave me some good suppliers for future builds has boosted my morale bout what I’m gonna try to build lol. And I now realize I wasted a whole hell of a lot of time and energy and got mad enough at google I wanted to break my phone when it wasn’t that google wasn’t working right it’s cause nobody else knows what the hell I like so that’s y I couldn’t find what I was looking for lol. At the rate I’m missing obvious stuff like this and I’m only 37 if I don’t get out my shyness of asking questions I’ll probably have a stroke cussing google before I’m 45 lol. All jokes aside I appreciate u giving me the only tools I needed to start my own adventure, so I wasn’t still chasing info that I’m the only one that can answer. Now I just need to practice using this coil jig and c what this mod and tank like working with for flavor

Welcome to the the Rabbit Hole, it's been very fun and rewarding journey for me. It's a great hobby and something about enjoying something you made is just Nirvana.

Don't worry about asking questions, that's how we learn, feel free to PM me anytime. Sometimes it may take a bit for me to respond, but I will.

Cheers

I actually bought the Coil master jig to cheat lol. I just finished building my first coils and wow I have never tasted the flavor like I do now❣️❣️❣️❣️ Together the coils ohm out at .45 ,which at first I was disappointed with cause I have had prebuilt ones that r .1, but my beginners luck blew the prebuilt Clapton’s and Aliens I tried slap off the planet lol. I watched a video of a guy making coils for his Fireluke rebuildable deck and he did 9 wraps so I did too. The first 2-3 hits take a second to warm but after that you get massive flavor and best of all even chain hitting like I do the tank is yet to even feel warm so I must’ve did something right lol
