what to do with 34ga kanthal

[Blackboar]

I am in the same boat. For some dumb reason, I thought buying a 100ft roll of 34 gauge from Temco was a good idea for building my Protanks. Now I'm stuck with a boatload of it. What did I do?

I twisted 4 strands of the stuff. Just looped a long piece of it twice around an Allen key head and put it in my drill.

I used it this morning to rebuild my RSST. Wrapped it 7 times around a mesh wick. Came out to 1.4 ohms.

So far, it's vaping nicely. I would equate a 4 strand twist if 34 gauge to be the equivalent of a strand of 29 gauge. It's not the best in the world and I'll never buy 34 gauge again, but at least my existing roll won't go to waste.

My twisted 34g coil on the nova tank is vaping awesome with some cotton yarn. Never thought that old nova tank would amount to anything good. I am surprisingly very pleased with it and will make an excellent backup or just an extra to bring out for friends at parties or whatever.

I made a 9 or 10 wrap coil with 28g for my KFL+ that came out to 1.2 ohms and it is amazing! Loving it. I can't believe I was stuck on boge cartos for years! I dont think I can ever go back to that. I even grabbed some mislabled ikenvape 3.0 atties for an awesome price and they are fantastic too! I am really in vape heaven with each of these, and being able to rebuild 2/3 is simply awesome.

Now I suppose Ill have to save for a nice mechanical, high amp batts and an RDA to try out this sub-ohm vaping craze. Blows my away how much different everything is since I started in 2010!

Cut off a long piece, fold it in half, then twist it.

Take the twisted wire, fold it in half, reverse your drill and twist it again.

This is what I do with my 32g kanthal and I love it. Maybe since it's 34g cut off 3 long pieces, twist, fold, reverse, twist. You'll have to see
