Lost my package. I swear its always something. I was really looking forward to that. Ordering wire should not be this hard. I just feel like giving up

Probably so, I will start buying other brands when I get better at aliens, and Staples.KBee sucks balls, they're a shitty company selling shit wire.

GOOD Stuff......For under $5 for 30ft spool which will last over a year for basic coils of top quality wire like Kidney Puncher I really don't see wasting money on low quality wire. Also there are other vendors that source actual real Sandvik wire that is less expensive. The ones I use are
Temco
Atomizer Wick
Pure Atomist
Kidney Puncher and Atomizer Wick are my favorites though.

I did get some of the SS which was alright, not as good as the others I listed but cheap and worked for my practice wire. I then got a bunch of their Kanthal again for my practice wire, it was fucking filthy. I thought maybe bad batch so I contacted KBee (I bought directly from them) and the guy just basically told me to go pack sand, fuck'em. I ended up throwing the shit awayI can say that the wire I got from TEMCo has always been top notch.
I'll never buy lightningvapes again. The quality of kbee wire that I got had been fucking amazing. Straight up maybe I got lucky. I think there coming up. LV was alright, but did not look anything or taste anything near as good as kbee.
Kbee is cheap but from what I've gotten the quality is better than the prices reflect. It's 4 bucks. I'll say kp, and other brands I'll come to find out.
I almost got my alien technique down. Still struggling but I'll get it.

Wow, what an asshole. Unfortunately the business treats us like licks, and money signs, not people who are passionate about a hobby.I did get some of the SS which was alright, not as good as the others I listed but cheap and worked for my practice wire.

I bought a 1000ft spool, and on all honesty this wire is on another level better than lightningvapes.
I didn't realize it, lightningvapes doesn't color at all. Nothing. No color when you go to heat and pulse. And I think it's because of low ingredients while manufacturing.
Kbee colors like a mother fucker. And in my book mother fuckers color.

Naw dude, I just have killer luck. Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac, Irish luck and all that. I got lucky with what I made so far, but recreating it several times successfully hasn't happened yetI will never buy below 1000 again. Hopefully I can make a little money this week to get my ribbon. I've came so far from my first coil. It's been such a journey.
Meg your beyond my level but I'm catching up

Give these guys a shot for I've had good luck with them in the past, good gauge selection alsoI think I'm gonna order my wire from Coil Society next time around, 38 and 40 awg
I'm broke also, though.
LV no longer carries odd gauges.
Kbee does.

My favorites are50 gauge nichrome!! Whoa. This looks good, a bit higher price than Coil Society, but if you swear the wire is always good might be worth it
-only up to 30awg SS right now though
My favorites are
Kidney Puncher for Kanthal (great for 316L)
Atomizer Wick for 317L SS which is my preferred SS
Pure Atomist and Temco then comes in
I've had my best luck with all of these and they're all real Sandvic which is the best. They've all lasted longer than the cheap crap and much, much cleaner. You really can tell the difference, especially after you do a few pulse/clean for the coils are in much better shape and hold up longer.
For 317L use Atomizer Wick, all their SS is 317L. I also have found that buying it from them on eBay you get better discounts. I really like 317L, for one it seems to hold up better and I prefer the it's resistance over 316L. I is only minute but it works better for me.Thanks man. I need to avoid Nichrome cause nickel really does a number on my throat, I might try using SS 317L for wrap wire though, for the purdy colors. It's also cheaper than high gauge kanthal seems like.
Thank you for the recommendations.
Yeah, NihChrome screws with my throat also, I stick with SSThanks man. I need to avoid Nichrome cause nickel really does a number on my throat, I might try using SS 317L for wrap wire though, for the purdy colors. It's also cheaper than high gauge kanthal seems like.

That's better than the black chemical flavors I get from 316l.. I for some reason I can't stand the way it tastes after a day. Harsh as fuck and I darkroom flash it low dull red.I haven’t tried SS317L, I’m curious if it still discolors like SS316L? With basic builds and parallel builds I never really noticed the discoloration, but fused Clapton’s and Aliens made purely out of SS316L for me turned this reddish/Copper color after just one day. I tried multiple brands of wire, different gauges, different cotton and juice and different atty’s and got the same result. Using N80 wrap with SS316L cores slowed the discoloration to about 3 days to turn rather than one...it was the only thing that veered me back into pure N80 builds. It never caused an issue with flavor or vape quality or anything like that...it was just off-putting that it changed (oxidized?) like that and I couldn’t find out why it did it.
This is what it would look like freshly popped in and wicked and juices up
This is what it would look like at the end of one day
You're not drinking water are you?! You realize that stuff is found in antifreeze!?!
250ft of wrapping wire is not that much. But I can see where you're coming from. I got it down. I also really liked this kbee this time, it was very good quality... This time. And it was cheap. Since I'm where I want to be now I'll start spending on better wire when I'm able too. Mangled wire would piss me the fuck off.250 Feet of wire used? That is either a shit load of coils or a hell of a lot of wasted wire.

Have a good one guys. Made my AA meeting today. Haven't been in over a week. Felt myself slipping away. Getting depressed and shit. I got into it with my group facilitator Friday and was asked to leave. Looks like I can't have my own opinion. This facilitator is a bitch. Know it all. Ugh
I'm going to apologize and be the bigger person. Wait, since I'm doing it to be the bigger person, is that still ok?

For wrapping wire on average it's close to 100ft for around 10 inch of wire for dual coils. And the smaller the gauge even moreI guess you assume I do not know how much wire is required to build coils. For some people 30 feet will last them a year if you read some of the posts.

depends on the gauge of wrapping wire, example 44 gaugeThe ration is more like 8 to 1 not 100 to 1.
Still at 10 to 1 ratio 100 feet of wrapping wire would make a 10 foot Clapton wire. First off you would need a machine like when I toured the D'addario factory years ago to make one that long.
Why are you on this thread?
Well I don't make 10 foot shots, I make around 8-10 inch shots.Still at 10 to 1 ratio 100 feet of wrapping wire would make a 10 foot Clapton wire. First off you would need a machine like when I toured the D'addario factory years ago to make one that long.

Yep, 20ft is a shit load of wasted wire, I hate KBeeExactly! Like I said must have been a lot of wasted wire with 250 feet.
I could make a 10ft section of fused Claptons if someone throttled the drill lolStill at 10 to 1 ratio 100 feet of wrapping wire would make a 10 foot Clapton wire. First off you would need a machine like when I toured the D'addario factory years ago to make one that long.
And there's no need to be stand offish dude. No one's insulting your intelligence stop taking it that way.I could make a 10ft section of fused Claptons if someone throttled the drill lol

I fucked up quite a bit of wire but I'm happy with what I'm able to do and glad I don't just give up because of waisted wire. It sucks, but new things require practice.And there's no need to be stand offish dude. No one's insulting your intelligence stop taking it that way.

theres no such thing as wasted wire in regard to learning to build
yeah when i was starting out my specialty was peek-a-boo clapton wraps, where you can 'show off' your cool core wires at random intervals throughout the buildThe key to turning failure to victory is coming up with names.
