Got my ribbon wire today. 1st attempt 3/4 on #500 Shortie DID = 1.1ohm (Kanthal D Ribbon resistance heating flat wire 0.6*0.1mm / .024*.004). I reused a seasoned wick (about 3 weeks old) so no issues at all with hotspots. Makes tons of vapor but the flavor isn't there yet and doesn't heat up as quick as my 2/3 of 28awg (will run for a day or so and then take off 1 wrap and see what I get). Only way I could get it to not twist was to wrap with the wick out.
Hey Cloud - if you bought the 0.6 thats more like 30 G wire so drop your wraps if your use to 28 G. The 0.8 Ribbon is like 28 G
.06 - 8.36 to 8.93 ohm ft.
.08 - 5.27 to 5.57 ohm ft
