Ken,
You have me at a distinct disadvantage I will not have my Vapo Flask DNA-40 and Ni200 wire until Monday (God willing or is that the USPS...).
Yes I know what your saying but in reading the mail here in this thread I ordered 32, 30 and 28 Ga. Ni200. From what I have read so far in this thread the folks using 28 gauge wire have some resistances that are far below the lower limit for Ni200.
My thoughts on this have been continually shifting as folks start posting more hands on technical issues.
My current thoughts and I am absolutely sure you won't like it is this; build wick coil assemblies' where you take the wick you want to use and wind it with 32 (maybe 30) install them even for parallel setups (which most of mine are) and when they are really gunked up pull them pitch-em and install new.
Now I know that is going to rub a lot of folks wrong but until this smart guy "Brandon from Evolv" gets on this thread and starts making suggestions and giving pointers I am going to take the DNA-40 PDF file from Evolv as the Gospel.
I am just trying to figure reasonable solutions so please don't get mad at me (the messenger). I will also tell you that reading about some of the difficulties my build and pitch coils better work for me when I get my unit this Monday or Mr. Brandon is going to start getting some very unfriendly emails from yours truly.
