Are these wires good to use?

I am pondering the idea of getting into RDA building, I already set my sights on a certain RDA, but I am a little bit split about the wire. I am not going to build complicated builds, probably something along the lines of dual core claptons, so I have been wondering if I can just buy pre-wrapped wire by the spools.
What do you think of those?

Are these good to use? Is there such thing as low quality A1 kanthal? Please do suggest more options from Alie. Is it going to be worth the trouble? Will the vape be much different from my current Freemax Mesh Pro?

Cheers.

Yes they do call them wrong names sometimes, pretty sure that Tsondianz Alien isn't a true Alien, it's probably just a dual core Clapton, I cannot imagine they actually went through the trouble of wrapping a Clapton, unwrapping it and then rewrapping the wire around a dual core, but the builds look good to me.
I am especially keen on those by Tsondianz
2. Fused Clapton:28GA*2+32GA
3. Alien:26GA*2+30GA
Looks like will make for a mean, juicy coil.

SEA WOLF calls 32GA+0.3*0.8FLAT an Alien, pretty sure that's not an Alien build at all.

Claptons with a thicker outer wire like 30-34g tends to take a longer time to ramp up, and will take longer to cool back down causing unnecessary cooking of the juice and premature coil gunking. 38-40g outer wrap wire works very well, with quick ramp up and cool down. I would suggest trying to find something with 38-40g wrap wire, 36g is decent but I would only get that of i couldn't find anything else and wouldn't go any thicker.

Good point, what is your opinion on those Wotofo wires thou? In particular
Wotofo Wotofo Framed Staple Clapton Wire(20ft/spool)
Material: N80
Inner Core: 28G+38Gx9+28G

and the Tri Core Clapton?
Those are some thin wires.
Is it safe to wrap wide diameter, juicy coils with Ni80?

I can't comment on pre-made coils or exotic wire since I wrap my own wire and always have. But I can say that my personal coil of choice is a 28x3/40 all nichrome 80 fused clapton. Works great for me. Never had any issues.

And yes, it is safe to wrap claptons with nichrome. May I ask what led you to believe there may be an issue with that?

Just the Nickel that makes me feel slightly uncomfortable to use large amounts of the wire.

Nickel and nichrome react differently as a heating element.

Nickel, I would not suggest unless you ONLY use it on a regulated mod set to temp control.

Nichrome can only be used in wattage mode. The chromium in nichrome makes all the difference.

I use the wotofo framed staples a lot. They sent me a pack with a contest win and they were surprisingly nice coils.

Chinese shit wire, quality Sandvik wire is cheap and there are plenty of quality coil masters that use it. I wouldn't waste my time or money on Chinese shit wire
