Ok I was with my friend he's like it's easy watch me I watched him unspool some wire and make two coils he's like I would like a bigger burning surface and im like got a hammer I took a length of wire he cut it I don't make my own coils but am thinking about doing it any way I took a knight of wire and flattened it out with a small hammer then I told him your the pro wrap it around the pick like you would any other wire he did the whole time keeping the new flattened piece of wire flat that is and that's it he is boating and bragging how good it works and how evenly it heats it made a big smoke cloud to he's so amazed I figured if he liked it I'd tell you guys just try it take your wire lay it flat on a table and tap it with hammer till it's no longer round tap till it's more flat then round then coil it keeping it flat and let me know if it's better thanks guys hope this helps

Hey, points for ingenuity!

It's called ribbon wire kanthal. Temco sells it. It made quite the splash last year when YouTubers started showing off "Bakuro" wire builds. A lot of money was made until people figured out it was just ribbon kanthal.

Your idea is a good one though. One of the problems with ribbon wire is it doesn't wrap around screw heads very well, so if one just flattened the area for the coil, you could leave the ends round.

Thanks for the tip. With that said, please don't take this the wrong way, but when you use absolutely no punctuation in your posts, it makes them very difficult to read.

Something to do if you wanted to try ribbon style wire and didn't have any.

I can understand your post, my brain inserts its own punctuation.

Please don't. Some posts are best kept as a concept that doesn't see the light of day.
I think of many more posts than I type, so should you.
And pick on someone your own size, there are plenty of them in The Outside

Larry, that was super super nice of you to take the time to share when you don't even vape that way. Very thoughtful, and sounds like it could serve a purpose as the one member pointed out that the flat is hard to wrap around screws you could flatten part and leave the rest round. B-)

Point taken . I was born and raised up north and we use to jab each other all the time and laugh. Got a friend down here from Chicago and crack each other up with jabbing sarcasm.....keeps us grounded in reality.....we know we're not perfect.....
