Hi, what are the difference between both the wire?
Thank you

I guess you are talking about the wires used for what I have in mind.
Anyways I am not sure about this but I think the resistance wires is the one that burns your liquid and the no resist does not. The no resist is used so that the part where it is lined will not get damaged.
Anyone please correct me on this.

Correct. Resistance wire is used where it touches the wick to vaporize the juice to get vapor. Plenty of videos in YouTube on this. Do a little search.

A resistance wire (R) heats up when a current is sent through it. A non resistance (NR) wire doesn't.

Uaually 1 piece of R and 2 pieces of NR wires are joined together with R wire wrapped or coiled around a wick which is saturated with eliquid. The NR wires creates a path from the positive and negative poles.

When a current is applied, only the R wire will heat up, vapourising the liquid.

Thanks for the very clear and straight to the point explanation.:thumbs:

Are all the wire come in the same thickness?
How long does the resistance wire and wick last when they are in use?
Thank you.

Not all wires have the same thickness. Different thickness will give you different ohms per foot.
I am not that knowledgable when it comes to deep technacalities when it comes to the wires but the type and thickness of wires will be a preference thing to us all depending on what performance we want.
As for how long they will last, it is very subjective as it will depend on the build quality and the frequency of use.

No, they don't. Different thickness depending on user preference.

For starters, get .20mm NR & .15mm R wires. After u're done w this, get other thickness. E thicker yr wires r, e less res they'll give u.

I change wires & wick at e end of evry week for peace of mind.
