If you can't find it PM me and I'll send you some.

OK then... I have finally found a little bit of time to builds some coils and setup this thing, now comes the silly question (I know the answer)

Short of time so I've thrown a pair of coils together from some wire sent by mistake from FT, and they read 0.27ohm, so the question is....
Is that too low to squonk?

If you're using a 20a battery or above no. I've got .26 on mine. Might get a bit hot though if you chain vape.

Isn't the OWL made of plastic ? I'd be scared stiff going that low on a plastic mod

Yes the casing is plastic with skinny wiring, I wouldn't take it low without rewiring it myself.

[Q]

Thanks guys, I'll take them out & use them elsewhere.

It would be interesting to know what this wire from FT is.... I ordered the twisted but it arrived as normal (didn't bother with a ticket), it's labelled as Kanthal A1 25 but it's incredibly stiff and coils lovely

Possibly 25 awg?

[Q]

That's what I thought but the results dont match what I should get from 25AWG

Very low the resistance of the wires will be to close to that of your atty so less power to your atty and a lot of heat will be generated in the wire.  It is nothing to do with safety, just a poor vape and a good chance of melting the insulation.

I use it everyday for about an hour when I take the dog out. What wire is in there?

Mainly the wire from the battery negative running up the centre of the body to the top plate, there is a shorter bit in the positive path which is no as much as a prob as only 20-30 mm long.  There are some photos earlier in the thread and a few tweaks like especially from vern sanding the solder blob on the positive connector and replacing the battery negative contact with a spring, though springs are often frond upon by mech purists.

I see yeah that looks crap dunnit, so the gauge of the wire is too thin. What a piece of crap.
