If you can't find the kanthal, try out Nichrome. I've been using it in place of kanthal for the last couple of months, and I much prefer it. I'm getting about three weeks out of a single coil before I toss it (haven't had one actually pop yet), and it's much easier to maneuver and wrap with, as it's much more malleable.

Try out the 32awg nichrome, at $6 for 50ft on eBay, you're not really throwing away too much money if you don't like it...

I have used Nichrome heating wire also, it does work very well, more made for the silica or ceramic wicks, but it DOES work on SS mesh wicks as well.

Kanthal in the 20awg family are more than likely going to thick and a lot harder to manuveur. You could take a stab at the 36awg but warned you may be popping coils if you cannot get a high enough ohm pull from the setup.

Would a 27g or 29g or 36g kanthal wire be ok in dc. Which one would be best? The 32g is sold out.

Hi everyone S&S mods is now open for business.I'm starting this very small and hope to have it grow with more mods and things.Right now I'm just selling my version of a rebuild able atty named the DEFCON.I'm sure some have seen the similar ones floating around.Mine are all hand made at my home by myself.These are made to order,so when you order one and pay I will then make it and ship when its complete.These are very nice units and work very well.They are made of stainless steel and I use .999 pure sterling silver for the electrodes along with mesh #400 and kanthal 32 awg resistance heating wire.The DEFCON can hold approximately 3.5ml of liquid and has been tested for leaks with no evidence of any.Right now I have two different types,black and stainless and I can also add a blue led light if wanted.I will have more color choices at a later date and other color of led lights as well.It will come to you fully ready to just add juice and vape.

I'm currently working on something I call the DEFCON Atom which I hope will make it through all the testing.

Price for the DEFCON is $55 shipped and comes with one pre installed oxidized wick pre wrapped using the 3/4 method,some kanthal wire 32 awg.
For a extra $2 you can have a led light installed.I only can accept PayPal right now with no mention of ecig related stuff.I will offer a 10 day money back
guarantee or a replacement if anything should happen to the DEFCON as a result of the way its built.Orders are to be taken by PM only and please use the word DEFCON in the subject box.Also include your ECF user name and color choice and first and last name and address .It's my wish to make you all a low cost rebuild able atty that works very well and looks nice to boot.If I have left anything out please inform me and I will fix it.Thank you and take care.
