yep MWA thats where i have been getting my Kanthal wire since last year for my Hybrid Genisis. 32 guage is nice thickness. some people get 36 guage but that is kinda thin so be careful. But if Imeo wants you guys to use 34 go with that. just trying to help. i dont know about No Resistance wire. But the Ebay seller in Oregon is great price and most of us Genisis owners got our wire there. Maybe he will know about the 0 resistance wire. give him an email. very helpfull and super nice guy. good luck
I was only looking for non nylon coated wire (which they have alot of) but in retrospect, I should have looked at coating as well. The package doesn't state wether this is coated/colored etc.. but am having second thoughts of using it now.
Steel is good, copper isnt, JMO, just clean it with an abrasive thingy from from the kitchen and all will be good
i probably won't have it until Wednesday or Thursday. if you still need it at that point, pm me.
My order turned out to be for 50 feet.. i think the 7000+ feet for $16 might be an error.
Sterling Silver wire inside the iAtty would be pretty awesome but that is expensive stuff. I will wait to find stuff like you sent with my iAtty buddy.
Imeo, would this be a problem?
I was thinking it would be ok since it is the nichrome portion that is centered within the ceramic..
Copper isnt harmful even inside PG Dream. Thats what I know. Maybe eye knows something more about it and he can give some help
Copper is Phytotoxic, in large amounts it can affect plant growth, in other threads on here dealing with repairable attys everyone steered clear of copper and PG/VG in the same place,when it oxidises it discolours the pg/vg, just passing on what I know/ heard

according to amazon i still have an option to "request cancellation" ... i paid for next day, but it seems the seller hasn't sent the copper wire as of now. Bam! Cancelled.
Now back to the bare nickel wire hunt.. thank you eyebrook, you may have saved me some grief.
i don't want to use anything questionable in my iAtty...

Maybe they are talking for brass or bronze eye?
I didn't get none of this mcCaster stuff but bookmarked the info that Ace shared with us. I was very cheap when I built my first Iatty that my no Res wire barely reached
Brass and Bronze are alloys made from copper so it would make sense about the discoloration
Both have copper in them to a differing degree, Im not saying its dangerous but its going to oxidise and alter your juice, I have a copper beer tankard and its tinned on the inside to allow fluid ie beer to be put in it. Jmo
I know buddy but there are 2 factors that an alloy can be totally different from a pure metal
1. The other metals inside the main metal have different characteristics
2. The whole alloy is a new composition with totally different characteristics that the main metal
Copper is used to water pipes in our houses. Brass is a forbidden metal alloy for water pipes. I dont think that PG affects copper thats why I said to Dream to buy copper wires as no resistance wires. Also copper is used to hospitals to avoid viruses on the swithces. I dont have made a research about pg on the copper but I believe its ok.
wires came today K2. I am waiting for the wick now and I will ship to my sellers.
