What's the type and gauge of wire that comes with the subtank?

[b4tn]

I have tried both ordering kanthol online and buying from my local vape shop and it always has a slight metallic taste. I have tried torching it, getting it red hot with just battery power before wicking, and just winding and wicking. The extra coil that came with the subtank has no metallic taste and they are a bit thicker than my 28 gauge kanthol. Maybe 26 gauge?

where'd you get your subtank? if it's a clone, different clones are going to come with different materials.

also, maybe the wire that came with yours is nichrome

The wire is 26g.

The only way I've found to get close to .5Ω on the RBA deck or when rebuilding the OCC coils is Nichrome wire. Also I think it produces a better vape.

It's an authentic kanger
Is nichrome stiffer or harder to work with?

Nichrome wire is no harder to work with. It heats up faster & has less resistance than the same size kanthol wire.

When I rebuild my occ heads using 26g nichrome 80 I do 5/4 wraps spaced is ~0.5Ω
and 26g Kanthol A 5/4 wraps spaced is ~0.7Ω

the stock subtank rba coil is 5 wraps of 26ga on a tiny blue screwdriver
0.52-0.54 every time, I've wrapped a dozen of them at least

What does "It's an authentic kanger" mean:
(a) some body else told you it was an authentic kanger
(b) you bought it off ebay
(c) you ordered it online from kangertech
(d) it had an "authenticity code" and a link to some stange iteration website like "kxyz.kanger.zx" and you checked the code on that strange website and the website said it was 'authentic'
