I'm not sure if this is a thing yet in coil land. I didn't take pictures but will if anyone's interested.
3 28 gauge kanthal wires braided. Rings out at .29 ohms, super quick ramp up time and great flavor. It does take a little while to twist, but once you get a rythem, it goes real quick. No hot spots I can find, and it stays close to the wick, which I feel cuts down on the spitting.
When twisting, make an upside down cross out of your leads and twist tight at 45 degree angles, pinching the wires close to the braid to keep it tight and uniform.
I run it on as temp control at 200 f and it works great for me on my r steam mini with tfv4 micro rca.

OK the pictures came out horrible! I'm getting a better camera this week so I might be able to do better later.
