Preferred by Pro's : Kanthal is the Best Resistance Wire for Rebuilding Coils in a Rebuildable a Rebuildable Atomizer
Regardless of what type of atomizer system you have (bottom coil, top coil, dual coil, tank, RDA, etc.), all personal vaporizers require a heating element, which is usually a wire wrapped around wicking material.
You'll need some very basic supplies to rebuild your atomizer, but today we're just going to talk about the wire used for the coil(s), because that's the one supply with the most variables.
Nichrome vs. Kanthal
The wire that comes installed with most atomizers is a high temperature wire consisting of either Nickel Chromium (Nichrome) or Kanthal (iron-chromium-aluminum/FeCrAl alloy) wire. Nichrome is slightly less expensive, but Kanthal is emerging as the wire of choice for rebuilds. For example, Kanthal wire has a maximum operating temperature of 2550 degrees Farenheit. It melts down at 2732 degrees.
Kanthal Resistance Wire is our preferred resistance wire for coiling rebuildable Atomizers.
For beginners and pros alike, many of you may not fully understand the benefits of how the different thicknesses of the American Wire Gauge (AWG) Kanthal Wire (KW) can be used with various rebuildable atomizers.
THE FINER THE WIRE = THE HIGHER THE RESISTANCE
The AWG 34 wire (0.15mm in diameter) produces HIGHER ohms over a SHORTER distance, as compared to the commonly used AWG 32 (0.20mm in diameter) which is slightly thicker, but would require more coils to achieve the same resistance.
TWISTING THE WIRE LOWERS THE RESISTANCE BY HALF
If you wish to use twisted wire, you will need to double the amount of coils to achieve the same resistance.
NOTE: Rebuildable atomizer coils and wicks have known risks. They are for experts, not for the average or the beginner vaper with no multimeter or knowledge of how to use a meter. Faulty coils/wicks will blow electronic devices. New coil/wick units must be tested and then used on a device that has short circuit protection first. Whim Wham Vapes LLC will not be resposible if you build your atomizer and it does not work or damages your device or does any other harm. Please don’t purchase if you are not experienced with rebuildables.
