If you really feel a 2.2 ohm build is the one resistance that will work best for you and can't find it in what's on the market, and given your concern on what metals your wires are built from, how about getting a kayfun clone for <$20,put in your own 2.2 ohm built coil from whatever metal you feel is the safest, wick it, and have a great mtl experience. Just because it's not sold doesn't mean it can't be achieved.
Because he wants "plug and play", can't be bothered to learn to make coils.

Vaping Masters doesn't understand that for someone also a compact simmetric design fit well in the pocket is important...
I hate bulcky battery box...
Compact light and nice design are requirements very important...

Btw i'm pretty happy with my justfog kit q16 right now but i'm really curios to try the aspire with 2.1 bvc coils...

Finally now i have 2 options and bot compact and not too aggressive vaping style

I understand fully how nice something small is, that's why I suggested the Icare kits, they just work!
But new vape guy don't understand how many times old vape guy has had batteries go dead from being out longer than intended, or have cheap vape battery die from getting accidentally dropped! Old vape guy no like having no vape worky, so he buys better mods.

I'm not a new vape guy i vaped for more than 3 years maybe 4 with elips c of ovale...

I really liked the way it vape very smooth but it had to many problems very very fragile with a very stupid cable very thin to charge always broke.
The battery was 350 mah so i needed to go always around with this stupid cable to charge...

Now 900 mah are really enought for me i vape around 3.5 ml a day.
And plus the microusb entrance is the best of best...
I have microusb cables everywheres...

So i fully understand old vape guy what does it mean run out battery...

I spent two years with cig-alikes, I had to take seven with me everyday to work, construction. On average I would drop three a week, they were junk after that, and each lasted around 3-4hrs a day. Working 12hr days, I had a lot of charging to do!
Anymore, I refuse to buy anything with an internal battery, why throw away a $40 mod because a $7 battery died?
I can piece together a mech mod with an 18350 battery that will be smaller, lighter and run about as long as your Efog kit.
I've got double and triple 18650 battery regulated mods that run for three days.
I can take what I have and create what suits my needs for the day or the weekend.
Most all of my atomizers are rebuildable and I make my own coils.
So I just can't understand why you want to limit yourself so much. I get you like what you like, believe me! I fought and fought against the sub-ohm movement harder than anyone! At the time the batteries weren't that good and no one cared to learn battery safety!
But if you'd watch some videos, put in a little effort, get a Kayfun lite, build your own coils and get a decent mod, you'd be so much happier with vaping. With the current trend, I don't care to even guess how much longer you will be able to buy the coils you want so badly.

Do you believe opening one of this atomizer is it possible to recognize if is nichrome or kanthal?


You can open the C1 atomizer, of course. Insert a small ! screwdriver into the two symmetric openings on the top, one after the other to lever out the top. But this would not tell you what the wire is made of.

Yeah, the color is just about the same.

As far as being able to tell the difference between kanthal & NiCr -
Sure, if you send the wire off for metallurgic testing.
Visually, from a small piece pulled from an atty, no.
By measuring it's resistance, maybe, an X length of wire of an X gauge has differing resistance values depending on what type of wire it is.

But, the main thing preventing you from finding something that suites your preferences is the false notions you hold.

Kanthal and Nichrome have the same color?
I have both here and I cannot detect a difference.

If you know the exact resistance of the atomizer, you can disassemble it, count the windings, measure the exact diameter of the coil and also the exact (!) diameter of the wire - this way you could make an intelligent guess as to what it could be made of.

Me: I just take good care not to overheat anything. But I definitely do not want to suggest that my way is the right way for everyone.

This guy is a complete dingus. He already knows the solution. Get a rta & a mod that does tc/vw so he can set it to his rediculous specifications and stop trying to find those silly 2.2 ohm coils. (spoiler alert) you're not going to find them bc coil resistance at this point is almost irrelevant.


Go on, keep trying to help him, he will just throw it right back in your face.
