Is there any particular reason why you can't use Amazon for the kanthal or ss316 wire? There's some cotton I want to get through there and it would be nice just to be able to get everything at once instead of having to pay separate shipping

You just have to be sure you're getting the right thing from a respectable vendor. I bought a 100ft spool of this wire on Amazon. When I looked at the reviews, I found one by ECF's very own @Fidola13, who spoke highly of it, so I knew all was well.

On Amazon, Temco also sells ss wire in gauges other than what I bought and kanthal as well.

Well maybe I should just get that then since I'm actually speaking to someone who has used it... do you think there would be any difference in the quality if I got the 26 gauge instead of 30 I mean it's the same brand same supplier should be the same I would hope LOL

I have yet to use anything but 28ga kanthal and 28ga ss316L. I have the 30ga ss316L I just mentioned to experiment with sometime (it makes me nervous, because it's so thin) and am waiting for a spool of Clapton wire that @AngeNZ recommended a while back (it's taking ages to get here from China). I've been intrigued by flat wire but haven't looked for any that would be suitable for my tootlepuffing builds.

It's Temco wire sold by Temco--I'm sure it will be fine.

I've been experimenting some with coils, enjoying the dual core fused Claptons a lot on my regulated mods but with the advent of the Luna I've been trying for the perfect build for me; been trying some various N80 wires as a result. Since I'm higher ohm build, finding the perfect fancy wire that heats quickly is a bit more challenging..

Thinking of beginning to create my own wire as a result..

Things will get interesting in the New year I'm thinking.. lol

Yep my problem too in unregulated. Don't want a hot build, but also don't want it so low in ohms it hits like a Mac truck

Twisted 28ga works, just a bit spitty.

My fave is just a 5 or 6 wrap 28ga ss316l or n80 at 0.6ohms. It's a cool vape, fast ramp up and around the watts level I like.

Also tried and like mtl fused clapton wire 30*2/40 - it ramps fast enough, but does get warm when I chain vape my head off

My next step is flat wire

Yep go for 26ga for now, 30 is way too fine (unless you use two strands and twist it) - but I'd start with 26ga then go down to 28ga. I use 28ga, but it is thin, and when you are learning, you are better off with something stronger

The Temco Zazie recommended is very good. Definitely go with that one @AvaOrchid .

 

[AngeNZ]

BTW did the guys think we were gonna talk about bra sizes in here?

Thank you so much for pointing me in that direction they even have a spec sheet which I really appreciate just because legit things should have a spec sheet.. also it's saving me money because the products cheaper and the shipping's completely free...you rock!

On it..lol. seriously I much prefer that it's got great reviews it's got a spec sheet and it's free shipping from a legit source.

 

[Zazie]

To tell the truth, I'm amazed I had something useful to suggest, @AvaOrchid.

Don't be amazed - we aren't, as we know your true value

 

[Zazie]

Awwww . . .

 

[greek mule]

I'm not sure that I understand what kanthal is or what mode to use.

vape wire types

I also don't really understand what the word Clapton means lol

CLAPTON COILS EXPLAINED

I've tried the MTL Clapton wire but was unhappy with the ramp up time. Maybe I should try one less wrap or something, just make it a little lower than I did last time...

I've got some .6 ohm ni80 Clapton wire that I got from AsModus, but I think that's ramping up too fast.. lol..

I've still not found the Clapton sweetspot on that mod I guess.. haha, still looking for goldilocks..

I can get it on round wire, just not the Clapton..

I only use claptons now in RTAs on regulated mods - I just found it got too warm, or if I added another wrap - too long to ramp up. It's a tightrope walk

 

[Tinker Ray]

My hero. I feel so much safer now.

LOL personally I'm just here for the lurking.

 

[AngeNZ]

Oooh just spent half an hour window shopping at:
Heizdraht / Widerstandsdraht

They have clapton wire, flat wire, square wire, kanthal, ni80, ni90, ss316l, ss317l and ss430. Shipping is only €5 - I'm in heaven

Oh please, no! I’m insecure enough about the type and gauge of wire I use. I do not need to start second guessing if I’m buying the right size and style of bras! I mean I just got over being paranoid about that lol.
