Wire for Oddy/Terminator

[withravenoushunger]

I watched some videos about the Oddy/Terminator with a weird coil setup using multiple twisted wires. What's the point of it? I'm using my Terminator fine without doing that.

The 2 noted devices, as with all delivery devices, which use a ceramic cup, are designed to be used with a NR-R-NR wire assembly.

As I understand it, the non resistance wire is used to afford the resistance wire to focus all of the heat on the coil. Many people use only the R wire, as yourself, with good success. Myself, I set up these devices as designed.

You can get away with using on resistance wire on things like the Diver or the Killer but on larger devices in the GG lineup that implement ceramic cups to house their coils you cannot get away with it, you'd be dealing with far too much kanthal not in contact with the wick and even a 2 wrap would give you a coil somewhere in the 2.5+ohm range. Remember, every mm of kanthal going from your positive to your negative increases your resistance.

Thanks. Given the fact that mine is set up wrong, its still performing better than anything else I have. I still managed to get 1.5 ohms with I think 30g kanthal and 3-4 wraps.
