Thats fine thank you i get my kan wire from my local vape shop so should be legit lol and yea i wet the wick up wellwhere do you buy your wire?? longshot but ... from what i've read .. Kanthal is actually a brand name (like Coke) so when you buy "kanthal" it's not necessarily the same... resistance wire made in china/???/? can have VERY widely varying composition. Aside from the health concerns with any wire if it's 'sub par' you could also be affecting your flavor.. 'nother thing - are you 'pre soaking' the cotton for the kanger? thats kinda key to not getting burnt cotton... I'm sure your aware of these things but just wanted to cover the bases..
happy vaping
