What wire is the best for vaping?

[sumiquatchim]

I say Gplat reds those are the .... and have lower resistance than normal a-1 wires plus it heats up faster
Gonna need your vape budget hands
Unless you buy it from vapordna which they cost at 8$

That was the one I wanted to try but where I looked they only had the blue ones I'll check vapordna and see if they have the red, and I knew it was pretty pricey wire honestly though the vaporgrudge wire isn't a whole hell of a lot cheaper granted they are specialty wires still I ordered some to try there stuff out.

Invalid attachment, but here's a pic of on build from 2 months vaping after pulling the wick off.

Are you using unflavored juice dice?

Are you using unflavored juice dice?

No, but most me flavors are clear. Mix DIY juice. Do have a wide selection of gear to choose from, but everything does get a good work out. Mix at 70% VG, 10-18% flavor extract. Do favor Vertical mounted coils with external wrapped wicks, with the appropriate rba, but do build horizontal's whene vert's aren't appropriate.

Main reason me builds and wicks last so long is from using Ramie fiber as wick. Highly heat tolerant and durable fiber. Can even reuse it often after cleaning.

And yes, would be better if cleaned sooner, but heck, when the vape is still damn fine, it's always easier to wait another week and just fill it up!!!

If you are really trying to cloud chase I would recommend royal wire. It is about half the resistance of regular kanthal.

I'm confused... Here are the numbers I see:

Royal Wire:
26g 0.3ohms per inch
24g 0.2ohms per inch
22g 0.1ohms per inch

Kanthal A1:
AWG 26: Low Resistance (0.28 ohms/inch)
AWG 24: Low Resistance (0.175 ohms/inch)
AWG 22: Low Resistance (0.11 ohms/inch)

Don't look all that different to me? Are these numbers correct?

(Separate topic)
And rather than some unknown like g-plat or RoyalWire, why not titanium (chemical composition is known, and a lot cheaper!)

^yeah, that's what I was asking about... wire where it's clear about chemical composition of the products...and not insanely priced.

Well I threw in some celtic coils dual coil setup in the big block with my beyond vape beacon and a vtc5 at.2 ohms. So I basically am super sub ohming in a day lol It's working awesome the flavor and heat is awesome off this device with these coils, To me though I think a regular old dual coil kanthal build isn't much worse or better than this. I mean the flavor changes some as with the heat but not a huge difference honestly compared to just using regular kanthal. That's one thing I truly been wondering is how much do different coil builds change the flavor and it basically comes down to how much surface area, how it's wicked, and the resistance. It all basically tastes the same way, The celtic wire if you don't know is 3 28g kanthal a1 wrapped and then flattened, they do give off a damn good flavor as obviously they're covering a ton of surface area. I had to turn them at an angle to get them to fit in the big block lol they were too long to be a straight vertical coil, The resistance of this wire is really low it's the only thing I don't like about it because I can't use it on a regulated mod unless I single coil and wrap it at least 8 times.
