So im getting a terminator C v1 but im going to get the ceramics portion upgraded to the v2 version to allow for 3mm wicks. Now i know that to rebuild this atomizer you have to use a combination of no resistance and resistance wires but i was just curious as to if it's possible to use just resistance wire and not have to deal with no resistance wire? Is it possible? Has anybody tried it? Let me know. Thank You :)

I haven't tried it with the Terminator but I have tried it with the Diver which also uses both R/NR wire and it worked fine. What you have to consider is you'll be adding extra ohms so watch your ohm meter and with some RBAs using R wire alone can get the base pretty hot so there is a risk of melting any insulators that might be in there. I've read that RBAs that recommend R/NR wire perform better when used as recommended. I did notice this when I used R/NR wire in the Diver.

Sure its possible, but the resistance will be extremely high and performance will suffer because by not using the NR wire you will be adding almost an inch of resistance wire to each side which will add 2 ohms in addition to the resistance of the coil.
Its best to use the NR/R combo, look up how to set up an Odysseus and you'll get the build down in no time.
