It's not that I'm advising against mesh, just wanted to show that there's more variety with regular wire.
I do appreciate your input and I agree with you. There is definitely more variety using regular wires.
But since I am both lazy and limited budget wise, when it comes to vaping I just don't have the tools nor the interest to learn how to construct all these crazy wire types such as claptons, aliens and whatever else they are called. It is just not convenient enough for me, and convenience is king.
So I am just buying spools of some type of wire, currently alien, and I just snip pieces off when it is time for new coils. It has been very convenient and has given me good results, but my bro from uni is vaping on manufactured mesh coils on his sub-ohm tank, and getting way better vape than I do from my premade "aliens".
