Ok great, just bought myself a Provari too! Bought some 7 x 19 3/32" on ebay. Already have some 32ga wire so thanks for that. Bought some.5mm x .1mm ribbon wire, and hear that the ribbon wire makes the setup kick even more!
Thanks for everything!
vape on!

i was able to find some on amazon. i did not know they sold building parts similar to mcmaster. i was able to get like 25ft of 7x7 ss cable for like less than 5 bucks. plus it is free shipping 
He can make a post in the classies and sell wicks for like $0.50 a pop w/ free shipping and make about $.10 per wick. At 25', he could make his money back w/ ~10' of cable and still have 15' to play with.
Edit: $.56 cents per

Hey, Heavyrocker - the only negative thing I've heard about SS rope is that it retains heat. As a chain vaper, I was concerned about the deck/top cap getting too hot, or the wick sort of "boiling" the juice in the tank. Have you tried using ekowool or the Nextel ceramic rope as a sleeve? That set up seems ideal except for what I've heard about the SS rope retaining heat.What has your experience been so far in that regard?
Im using the AGA and the RSST and no heat problems at all and im chain vaping like a madman,ya dont need no eckwool or ceramic sleeves with this SS rope.
definitely, the v-2 provari will fire a coil at 0.8Ω. but at 0.8Ω the max voltage allowed, because of the 3.5 amp limit, is like 2.9volts. at 2.9volts your only getting like 11 watts. when I first got the v-2 I was vaping at the 0.8 to 0.9 range which was pretty good but then moved to 1.3Ω range, at this resistance you will get the max out of the provari, you will get 3.5amps & 15 watts. so if your into higher wattages it is better to do a coil at the 1.3 range instead of the sub one coils on the v-2 provari.
Glad to hear about the heat. I've been really interested in trying these. In fact, I think now is as good a time as any to order some up. Thanks for the input.
Its a good idea too torch the rope red hot too burn off any factory oils and i oxidize the mesh on the top.
Stopped in the ace hardware here. Didn't have any ss rope. Anyone know if lowes or home depot carry it?

Xobe, there's extensive discussion on availability, misleading specs @ Lowe's/HD, etc. in the wire rope for wick threadhttp://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rebuildable-atomizer-systems/375999-wire-rope-wick.html
HD doesn't have it, confirmed from experience. They might have one role of unox-SS rope but way too big. They have 7x7 "shinny" non-galvanized "SS ROPE", my guess is its SS-plated(or something else).
Not sure the size of your city, but IF going find locally, try marina/boating specialty stores.

Thanks man.
I do have a lot of marinas a stones throw from here. Will give it a shot in my travels.

been vaping on the ss rope now for a day or two. I will have to say I definitely prefer it to mesh. the flavor is a little better and it wicks a little better. I bought some of this cable out of curiosity and am pretty impressed, would of never thought a cable could work so well. one thing I would have to say though is although the cable has good flavor it is still mostly metal and imo has a slight metallic taste compared to cotton or porous ceramic wicks, which I believe to be the best. but cotton has an advantage, no heat sink issues. once you vape a wick that has no heat sink its hard to vape anything but. now if your used to smoking a cigar and don't mind a couple of quick primer puffs before inhaling the vape then this cable is very good.
I have not tried cable yet but would 28 awg wire compensate for the primer puffs?
