Try the nickel blakey, when pulsing take out of temp mode to avoid preheat and start at low watts. I haven't vaped a genny with kanthal for months, probably 5 and only then to do an A/B comparison.

I've done nickel in gennies that way quite a few times and I found the benefits do not outweigh the faff.
Tbh, it's nice to have finally found a juice that I can enjoy in genesis atties cos it means that all these genesis atties will finally start getting some use but the bulk of my vaping these days is done with temp controlled dripping and squonking

Using the sharks mostly for tanks and dripping and the flask for squonking. Not a fan of the sx350j chip for temp control, I always find pulse width too harsh a Vape.

I am tempted by the new sigelei 75w. Should be an sx chip. Worth a punt for 50-60£. Maybe you and @ VapingBad can help me make my mind up at the meet.

Well, I had some time to kill whilst the boiler warmed the bath water
Using .2 ni200 and 5 wraps I wrapped a 0.12 coil and to my amazement I nailed it first go
Spent about 30secs getting it all firing even and built the tank, filled with alchemist custard cream and vaped.
Coil is stable and working a treat and its wicking fine, attie on the other hand gets warm moderately quickly
It's a good Vape undoubtedly but I still prefer squonking

Nickel builds are very do-able in the next gen though and with hardly any faff.

Not surprising blakey, I think nickel is easier than kanthal where you wrap it around the wick. IMO it's just after everyone got used to making the coil on a former to make it easier with kanthal the erased their memory of how it used to be and think there is only one right method of coiling.

I'll agree with you there and I'll add that I think many people are too heavy handed and impatient.
Nickel is an absolute doddle to work with.
I embraced temp control tech as soon as it was released and spent time learning it before panning it
I quickly learned that there was nothing to pan and evolv hadn't done too bad a job at all.

The next gen however, despite being an excellent performer falls on its face when you consider that you need to totally dismantle the tank to get to the coil.
But if you lay it down then its design makes it resistant to leaks, pros and cons as always

I have been looking at some of the posts on this atomiser and some people are using .25 wire on this. I always used thicker wires for all the well known reasons but also because it did not snap easily when pulsing for shorts. It appears people are happy with 3 wraps of .25. I guess with that wire you will be less prone to strangling the wick but I guess you'll have to pulse very gently to start with. I am going to give it a go tonight
