Non resistance wire help for Odysseus clone

[Karnn]

Hello forum.
So I thought I scored an amazing deal, and well maybe I did? So a brand new Odysseus clone (hcigar from the looks) for $13 well I was impulsive and put in a bid before researching it, turns out I need to now learn the whole non resistance wire gig. So my questions for you experts out there are what is your favorite non resistance wire and why? Also is this going to be more headache than it's worth? I've taken apart an Ithica clone at work and it looks like a nightmare lol
thank you in advance

you can buy ready wires with non res and res wires already made for you. just
do a search. setting both ithaka and ody are pretty easy once youve done it a few times, well worth $13!!

Or you can make your own wore welder out of a flash from a disposable camera like I did. Use pure nickel and kanthal of the same ga all clean. It is a pain in the ..... Takes lots of pratice to ge it right. Your best bet is to just buy some pre made.

You need to get prewelded wire.

Ive done this once for gal that had a some ego sized rebuildable not sure what the make of it was. I used 32 gauge resistance wire and took 32 guage non resistance wire and just twisted the ends together to make 3 pieces into 1. Probably better off getting premade ones, you will know the ohm load without guessing. but it is do-able without welding.

ive found with a lot of the ready wires i've purchased theyve have a .3 ohm tolerance or so. my 1.5 ohms usually meter out at 1.8, 1.8 ohm's meter at 2.0-2.1...

its been a while since ive bought any, so they may have gotten better?!

i made a zapper and find it quite easy to sit and zap 5-6 really quick, its fun!

you have some good options! now go and get that ody workin.

Thank you Classwife, I'm still new to posting on this forum
So I would prefer not to use pre made wires if I can help it at this point, if I'm going to do it I want to learn to do it right. I've been researching it a bit and it seems silver is being recommended over nickel for safety and flavor, but my questions for those that have used this style of atomizer are is it worth it in your opinion to pay the price for silver? And if so sterling or pure silver? And soft or half hard? I don't mind paying a little extra for a better quality vape but not if it's not going to be noticeable, although some things I've read make using the nickel sound scary but how much of this is just paranoia?
I really apriciate all the responses on this people. Thank you for your time

I stock up on pre welded at stormys vapor cellar
The have a variety of ohms to choose from. I usually get the 1.8 kanthal and they meter on the Provari at 1.8 some 1.9.
Ive gone through quite a few and they all been good so far.
I'll occasionally break one but its usually from being in a hurry and twisting the wire while wrapping.
They last for quite a while with rinsing and a dry burn...........

One of the things I take pride in is doing all the work myself so unless I find myself unable to do it I want to avoid pre made, that and I use a mech these days so I prefer my tanks around 1 ohm give or take a little depending on which one of my tanks I'm using ( I've started a collection lol)
I'm kinda just looking for some feedback on what non resistant wire to use to make it with the kanthal I already have

I have used pure silver and pure nickel (always 30ga). Never noticed a difference as far as performance goes but IMHO nickel is easier to work with and twist with. Silver - even the half hard variety - is really soft and is easy to break. Certainly doable but the cost increase and the more delicate nature of silver make nickel my choice now.

With the exception of my GG Ithakas, I grew tired of making NR/R/NR wire sets for my eBaron Pro and Divers. A year of that will drive crazy.
