Thank you, I found some! That's perfect since the only R wire I could find was 32 also.
TY, I appreciate your help

Hiya Taniger. I got my Kanthal here: https://silicawicks.com/products-page/resistance-wire/
and (I may get pounced on for this) my NR wire here: Amazon.com: 30 Gauge .999 Fine Silver Round Wire Thinnest 0.010" (Qty=20 Feet): Arts, Crafts & Sewing
The guys on this thread will hopefully let us know if it's all safe to use. Hope that's helpful and safe info.

Right ON Thanks Wing!
And I DID find this!

Wow, that's a great price, thank you! I was wanting some of that gauge too for just in case
Square Braided 100% Cotton wick 6/0, 4/0, 2/0, 1/0, #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6 | eBay
I found this too Wing. It's actually 100% braided cotton wick with NO chemicals in it. It's "raw" /grin think I may get some of this too!

NICE! That's one thing I had forgotten about. I'll need to try everything. Thank you again Taniger!
Well ain't this special. I've been recommending these damn things like there's no tomorrow, and now this?
I'll have to read this whole thing, but in the meantime, quick questions;
A) Do these problems still exist in the "latest and greatest" Version 2.5?
B) Same problems regardless of 3.5ml vs. 2ml? (I'm guessing YES)
C) Has anyone contacted these (apparent) idiots to see if they're planning on getting their heads dislodged from their buttocks?
Thanks.

I have one in the mail, should be here today, I can attempt to get some pictures of up if anyone is interested?
Here's a few pics. If you are wanting more detail on something, let me know and I'll try to get more for you.
I did pull apart a head earlier, and it still has resistance wire to the rubber.

Sorry the pics aren't up close, my camera won't focus too close.
Big difference that I saw is that the big knob sticking out in the middle of the battery post isn't sticking out. It's almost flush, almost. So no grinding it down. I rebuilt a coil for it last night, it turned out okay, I know what to do next time as well. Kind of a trial and error type thing for me. Will continue to tinker, and see what I can do with coils before I get too much further into it. One instance where having large hands does not help is in coil making.
Side-note: Burning cotton-ball doesn't vape well, unless you want some massive TH and nasty flavor.

Took apart to recoil the viva head that I have been using with the original wick and a cotton wick laid over the top. I found this burnt sleeve under the coil. It has two round burn holes on each side where the legs go down.

I got a similar result with a batch of new heads from a recent purchase. Brand new, stock head started tasting burnt after just two days use. When I took it apart I found the collar was scorched. Rebuilt it with just cotton baton and kanthal 32 (did not use NR wire for legs). Its been a real treat for the past four days now.
Most of the threads talk about the rubber grommet burning but this is not the rubber grommet, it is a sleeve similar to what is used in the DC. I rebuilt with 32ga with doubled legs. Did not use the sleeve, just the rubber grommet and it is working great.
Yeah, I noticed these sleeves in the V2.0+'s heads as well. They look identical to the wick wrapped around a carto coil.
