Also wanted to buy some mesh to make some wicks? Whats the difference in 325 and 400? Thanks, and just incase you wonder what i usually vape. I vape mostly 100vg or 10/90. Allergic to pg... ;[

This should help with your wire questions:

TL;DR is, the lower the numer, the thicker the wire. The thicker the wire, the lower resistance coil you're going to make. If you take equal amounts of 30g and 34g, and make the same coil, the 30g will be lower resistance (ohms).

And this should help with your mesh question:

get 500 mesh. most people report it wicks well with everything.
steam monkey or OKCvapes for mesh
I get my wire here:
TEMCo Industrial Power Supply
or RTD vapor.

and she is spot on about the gauges.................

toss those old zen wicks and roll a solid 500 and good to go.
