I ordered some. 24g Kanthal on Amazon that it said was Lightning Vapes but I got some black spoll of wire that is unlabeled in a bag that said genuine Lightning Vapes 24 AWG A1 Kanthal. I am unsure if this is how Lightning Vapes packages or if I got ripped off. I checked the product picture on the Lightning Vapes site and am seeing something completly different than what I ordered. If I got the wrong wire this'll be the second time I got the wrong wire. The first time I ordered 28g Kanthal that was supposed to be Lightning Vapes I got Pure Atomist 28g. I give up if I got screwed over again.

Well, you didn't mention who the seller on Amazon was but I'm guessing the seller wasn't Lightning Vapes so if not then it sure sounds like you got screwed over again. If you're going to buy their wire on Amazon then make sure the seller is Lightning Vapes:

Amazon.com: Lightning Vapes

Were you trying to save a few pennies?...if so, buying from other sellers on Amazon has proven to be risky in your situation. Why not buy from them directly on their website?

You may want to email the seller to confirm it is indeed Kanthal A1 and if so then you should be fine, however it is indeed odd there's no label. I have an Amazon Prime membership and buy tons of stuff from them often, and they have excellent customer service so you might consider returning it - especially since I believe you can do that free of charge and can also print a return label as well.

I've purchased all of my Kanthal directly from Lightning Vapes and haven't been disappointed yet...and they offer free standard shipping too. I'm hoping they will offer Titanium wire soon.
