My wire didnt arrive in the post today so Im a little stuck. I was wondering if this wire is any good for penelope? www.maplin.co.uk/28swg-resistance-wire-2196Also, any idea of actual shops that may sell non resistance? Its a long wait till Monday! Cheers in advance! |

Unfortunately that Maplin stuff is no good for your Penelope. It has a resistance of 4.2 ohms per meter, you need something closer to 50

Do you have something other than the penny to vape with?

Whereabouts in Berkshire are you? There maybe a member nearby that has some?

Im near Windsor, just outside of Heathrow! A bit far to me unfortunately, I'm near Southampton, but if you were planning a trip this way I would more than happily oblige, have loads of the stuff here. |

As long as you can still vape that's the main thing, but I'm like you with new stuff, I want it NOW so I can start playing with it  |

Cheers for the offer Global, If I was a little nearer id travel on down but got a few things to do this arvo!
Im an impatient git so im chomping at the bit to play around with different Ohms to see what I like best on penelope!
The visions are ok, that is until you use one of more expensive mods!

My Penelope is still in her original bubble wrap, and has been for the 5/6 weeks that she has been here..
She scares me..

lol, dont let her scare you! She is actually very easy to set up! Just be gentle with the premade wire as they can snap! Once coiled, she goes together nicely. I was probably lucky to get her right on my first attempt, the hard part was gettting rid of the really airy draw on the Ego! Once resolved, she vapes like a train, and the flavour is intense!

Unfortunately that Maplin stuff is no good for your Penelope. It has a resistance of 4.2 ohms per meter, you need something closer to 50 5cm of that wire will rate at .21ohms so it can be used to tide you over till you can get some proper wire. Wouldn't recommend for long term use though. |

Which wire do you recommend from wires.co.uk for the resistance? Im looking to get around 2 to 2.4 ohms. The silver im getting is the 0.2mm and ive also ordered the 0.150mm Kanthal A and also the 0.17 nick chrome.
Cheers again
