shopping list help

[flavourtank]

hi

im in need of the following items

nic base approx. 100ml (until I can spend on larger amount)

wire for coils (Marcus whats the 3176896734L your banging about?) or a decent grade what do you recommend?

one shot concentrates i.e something like red Astaire or whatever is a good oneshot

ideally would like it to be cheap as poss

ive seen threads regarding these bits but would like recommendations from you fellows

everythingliquid can I come to your shop and purchase?

Get your wire from The Vape Mesh Co... good prices on Kanthal. Don't know where you are with your coil building, but the 317l used to be sold as GPlat (until someone on Reddit figured out the company selling G-Plat was ripping people off by repackaging SS welding wire), it's for very low ohm builds and is harder to use than regular Kanthal

I'd recommend starting out with some 0.3mm and some 0.45mm kanthal... much thicker and you can end up with very low ohms.

For one-shot concentrates, either Chef's Vapour's own or Pink Spot or Rebranded (all 3 available from Chefs)

[Marcus]

Everythingliquid has the best prices for nic around

As for wire, if you are just after standard kanthal then vape mesh Company is your best bet.. 317L is really for cloud chasing/sub ohm builds.

For the same price I paid for 10mtrs you could get 50mtr of normal kanthal...

Easier**

It wraps easier, keeps its shape a lot better, isn't springy, heats up quicker and cools down quicker... Im using it as I type and it's by far the easiest wire I've used to wrap coils =)

I'm sure it's easy to build a coil, but it's also a bit notorious for hot spots, that's what I was referring to... not really a problem if you are experienced, but I don't know where OP is with his coil building???

Ah, I thought you was referring to physical attributes. My bad

[Marcus]

If you can wrap a decent coil then grab some.. Its great stuff.. Or get some tiger wire from angelfiremods, comes with KGD cotton as well

Or Midlandsvaping have all the vaporgrudge wires in stock for £3 a set.. Clapton, Tiger, Celtic etc etc.. Worth playing around with.. Can get some real nice flavour from them.

Just when you fire your coil and it heats up in different places... easy enough to sort out in Kanthal with a little squeeze of your tweezers. But 317L is supposed to be a bit trickier in this regard.
I expect marcus will tell us if it's worth the extra effort (or if it's even a problem)
