A lot of them are using DNA40 mods but only with kanthal. They probably know that nickel is a pain to work with- so they are just avoiding it.
This is me right now. I'm new to building coils so I figured I'd start easy with kanthal. At some point I'm sure I'll try some nickel, but for now a 1.4 ohm kanthal build is giving me great flavor in my Russian.
