I'm speaking of Kanthal resistance wire that is nut round like regular wire, it has a cross section viewed from the end like a rectangle. Haven't gotten them in yet but I think for application on coils like the RM 2 a number 5 or 6 gage would be optimal (higher numbers being wider). Resistance wise the #6 is most similar to 30 gage kanthal, but the #5 more heavily used. Seems to garner high praise from within the ecf for its longevity as a coil building wire. Some say it stops the juice from spitting when its heated, others like the flavor it produces. Nut sure how well it will do if scrunched together though, initial plans for me is to have gaps between the wraps to allow more breathability. I think theoretically it'll have more even heat distribution with greater surface contact with wick. There have been talk that Kanthal A-1 ribbon wire is better than Kanthal D ribbon wire and haven't seen much explanation on this topic. The A-1 type is more expensive though so YMMV.
BTW, you still sound like you got something stuck in your nose....nyuck, nyuck, nyuck
. I think by nature, we think its best to get the wick as close to that hole as possible, but like you said in the video, leaving space is better. Much better!
