Where/What wire to buy for building custom box mod (repost from new members area)

[elbing]

Hey yall, I'm justing getting into vaping and am starting my research in preparation for building a custom wood dna 40 box mod. I'm a woodworker by trade so I'm not worried about making the box, but I am pretty new to electrical work.

After reading the technical specs from evolv, they recommend a high temperature wire, with 18 and 24 gauge recommended. I would also like to have different colors to help differentiate parts. Most places online market to electricians (understandably) and 50' or 100' minimums. Also there are different classes of wire that I am not familiar with.

What I am ideally hoping to find is a sort of hobby wiring package kit. Something with short lengths of wire in multiple colors, again in 18g and 24g. Any links or other posts would be appreciated too, I am having trouble sorting out posts for coil wiring in my searches.

I don't have any good spots for 18 or 24 GA, but you can get a decent price on 20 and 22 in 25 foot each of red, black, and green at Radio Shack. I've used both with good results. The only downside is, the 20GA in the 3x25 set is solid, so if you bend it too many times while building your box, it'll snap. They're about 8 or 9 bucks each. Anyway the links are:
75-Ft. UL-Recognized Hookup Wire (20AWG) - Radioshack
75-Ft. UL-Recognized Hookup Wire (22AWG) - Radioshack
