The stock wires at CoV are, I believe, 0.15mm or 0.16mm nichrome (34awg) and 0.20mm nickel (32awg)

Bruce stocks some silver wire for NR, too, but I don't know what size offhand

thanks alot killjoy greatly appreciated and helps alot
what is the difference between alloy 400 nickel and alooy 600 nickel?

IMO the best Resistance wire is Kanthal A1 32gage for LV vaping 3.7v to 4.2v and 36gage for HV vaping 7.4v to 8.4v and can be found on ebay very cheap most days....

I prefer .999 silver dead soft 30gage for my NR wire and buy 95ft a half oz at a time for about $30.00 shipping included from a company called TwistedJewels.com... hope that helps...

30gage Kanthal A1 wire is cool for LV vaping but I find it gunks up much faster than 32gage... and you would think 34 gage would be a happy medium for any volt vaping but I was not impressed with how it performed...
