Ribbon wire question

[Vaslovik]

I've messed around with ribbon wire a little bit, but with mixed results. At one point I was getting excellent flavor and vapor, but when that coil was used up I could not duplicate it with the ribbon someone gave me, so I went back to 28g kanthal. Then I ordered Flat Ribbon Kanthal Wire RW0352 - 0.9 x 0.1 mm (0.354 x 0.004 in) from Temco, but it turned out to be too low resistance, and I'd have to do a 5/4 wrap with it to get above .7 ohm with it, and this just covered my wick from top to bottom. It was too wide too.

So what ribbon should I order from Temco to get .75 - .8 ohm with a 4/3 wrap on a SS wick? They have a bunch of sizes, and I don't want to guess wrong again.

Thanx

This might do it for ya..I get 1.5 ohms with 5 wraps

Yeah....I found the right ribbon wire by checking the ohms per foot against 28 g kanthal, and Temco is out of it for another month... bummer

WOW... that was one quick edit!

Yeah, you don't see the notice that it won't be shipped for a month until you go to checkout with your order. Did that earlier today. I'll just wait till they have it in stock.

Looking to pounce were you?
