To be honest a lot of vape gear gets that reaction from me. Fancy paying 50 squids for a tiny glass tube with a tiny bit of stainless steel and a few o rings? The cage by leo fits the bill. No matter how much it is dressed up there are more than a few people laughing all the way to the bank and kanthal costing as much as that puts it in the same category in my view.

In an attempt to make it sound better it may be 3 lengths of kanthal (4.5 metres total) and twisting shortens the wire as is compresses let's say by 50%. So in. Fact the 1.5 metre length of Tigre wire or whatever its called is actually around 10metres of kanthal. Cost of 10 metres 0.32 from vapemesh is ................... £1.90 Damn that didn't work out

seems silly but people buy it, me included i don't have time to twist my own and im not very good at it, its actually good wire, machine twisted. As for the price, thats just what the makers command, its standard for that particular type of wire, we are actually selling it the cheapest in the UK most likely, and we are selling quite a bit of it.

You really need a drill and a little vice, 15 seconds later you'd have LOADS of twisted omega wire lol. You might sell it but don't have to use it yourself, that's not how to run a business

It's not that I have a bottomless pit of money, because I certainly don't. But if I was on a mission to buy this particular wire, then I would pay the price being asked. Yet, I wouldn't shell out on the prices being asked for 10/15ml of premium eliquid as I can make ( for my tastes ) liquid every bit as nice. It's each to their own for me.

It's also how a business works. Find a gap, provide the filler, and charge what the market will pay. It's the same principle you had in one of your comments on buying from Fasttech v a UK supplier. You are happier paying far more for the convenience of same country shipping and supplier. I understand that. I have a brother in law who pays workmen for any job doing in his house. Big or small. He doesn't own even a screwdriver. One of his mates tried to pay me £100 for reloading Windows on his laptop. Some people just can't be bothered. This company may get stuck with loads of wire if someone steps in and undercuts them. A lot of risk is involved in small enterprise.
