what are your opinions between these two coils for best flavor?
I'm a big fan of framed staple aliens great vape and flavor production.
Now there are some down sides to this build, due to their low resistance depending on what you choose to use as core sizes you'll need extra power to push them. Higher wattage = less battery life, if that's not an issue for you then they're fantastic.
The nice thing about aliens it is much easier to build them with higher resistances thus resulting in better battery life.
I feel what your saying. I know this sounds dumb but kanthal ribbon I like to pulse it hot because I feel like any kanthal ribbon maybe any kanthal just needs breaking in.I am messing with a framed staple alien build right now. At first I felt like regular aliens gave me better flavor, but then after breaking the coil in a little bit the flavor was really coming through great.
Finally I managed to get a spool of .3×.1 Ni80 ribbon wire so now I'm thinking of giving framed aliens a try. Going to use 29g Ni80 for the frames, but I don't know how many strands of this particular ribbon wire will give the best result on a mech.
Kanthal is terrible for mechs. Even at low OHMs it just lacks. I like Nichrome because I can build coils I like. Just a bit less chunky than kanthal. SS is only good for wrap wire, and fused Claptons. 2x27 2.5 mm 5-6 wraps is already really low .1-.148 strands of kanthal 0.3 with 28 or 30 frames, with dual coils, 2.5 or 3mm ID and 5 wraps work well on a single battery mech, I hope that can help. 8 strands of nichrome would just be better, I suppose

I do love SS for single battery squonking. That to me is where it shines other than super sub Ohm parallel builds

Right right. I was trying to give him an idea of how many strands of Nichrome .3 would be good, based on what I like with my terrible kanthal .3; since nichrome heats faster I figured it would be a good ballpark place to start
Meg, all I was saying is I use mostly mech and parallel set ups. I was in no way saying kanthal is junk. I would use kanthal all the time if I was using regulated mods.Right right.

I don't want tm you thinking I was downing you. If your into kanthal, than I'm happy for you. You really helped me out in the beginning. I don't want to get into it because of a preference I've got.
That is how happy you made me when I got better swivels. Your my friend.

Yeah if that happened to me I would definitely stay away. SS is just as good. There wraps don't last as long for me as they do with NC but I have found I love both. I used to really hate SS. I try to vape a mix of SS and Nichrome because if all I vape is SS I come to expect that flavor. It's not better, it's different. There is no doubt in my mind that I can taste kanthal/SS/Nichrome.That's okay, I am not kanthal so it didn't hurt my feelings (I was being silly, calling kanthal terrible lol)
I would dig n80 if it didn't tear up my throat after a couple puffs, I mean uncontrollable coughing from a 1.8 ohm coil, to crazy strep-throat like pain from just a couple big cloud rips, allergy I guess
