REOpeeps, since I'm new to making coils, I'd like to get myself a bulk amount of Kanthal (so I don't run out by making mistakes). Does anyone have a vendor for buying it in that quantity? Thanks-
Kanthal Wire 30 Gauge RW0107 - 100 FT 0.39oz Series A-1 Resistance AWG
this is the spot. direct from the source.

you'll not run out of 100 ft! Most wicks are maybe 3-5 inches. That's over 240 wicks.
i make about 5 wicks a week (nm that now!) and i still have tons left.
Makes you laugh really when people talk about bans and stuff!

Hi Scott - i'm still annoyed at your lunch since mine was a bacon sandwich!

i really wasn't going to mention it but HRH (who is a damn good cook) was looking at kitchen knives; you know - professional chef's knives. I think i saw the prices and went a weird pale shade of blue!
For that $ they had better be Samurai gear is all i have to say, because i well know i'll end up buying them.

Well, right now due to inexperience, I'm thinking for every one I can use, there will probably be three I can't...LOL
Plus I'd like to experiment with different sizes/# of wraps.
i always use 32g because i am old and set in my ways!
The stuff i tire of can always be used as tripwire.
just saying.

This chart is for A1 type of Kanthal wire per inch, other grades are different.
30 awg (Ω/in) 0.7 ohms
31 awg (Ω/in) 0.9 ohms
32 awg (Ω/in) 1.2 ohms
33 awg (Ω/in) 1.4 ohms
34 awg (Ω/in) 1.8 ohms
35 awg (Ω/in) 2.3 ohms
36 awg (Ω/in) 2.9 ohms
You will see it is possible to use various wire to end up with the same Ohms coil. All personal preference really.

LOL...
One of my problems...I can't decide on my wire gauge.
I tend to gravitate towards lower gauge...even when I was making jewelry. My friend would borrow a piece of my wire and say "Geez, how the heck do you wrap this?" I always found I could get coils more uniform with a lower gauge using a form. Hopefully that hobby will help with my RM2.
Wow...and the coil I'm using right now is 28g.
No wonder I had to change the wick out after 16 hrs...LOL
This is a great chart. Thanks for sharing.
I would recommend the 30 gauge. Its not so thick that its hard to manipulate but it has a low enough resistance that you can get a few wraps even on a lr coil. more wraps will tend to give you a better vape. I have some 32 gauge that I got when I picked up my first rebuildable and I find that its hard to get a good coil with it. mind you Im not using a vv and I like my coils at about 1.3 ohm's.
Good morning neighbor! I am not too far from you. Up near Hamilton.
