I take it this lot would be  used  in VW mode then  ??

yes nichrome is for VV/VW, you need to look for Ni200 or pure nickel 99.6? coils, when you find the right ones check the description, some come without boxes and the coils can arrive some what flattened. Just don't pay more for a box than for the coils, it pays to look through all of the options

I would just make them, coil master or Kuro coilers make it super easy after making a touching coil take it off a stretch it, doesn't need to be even just make sure every bit is opened up, then put it back on the coiler and squish it, I'll do some quick picks...

[SteveF]

there is a lot to choose from and it could take time to find exacly what set up you prefer.
You may find making your own is eventually the way to go, even with premade you will still need to adjust the spacing coils when fitted, will still need a 3mm former to stop them from distorting whilst fitting, cutters to trim the legs. You're only 6 or 7 turns of wire around a screwdriver away from making the coil too.

[VapingBad]

Coil diameter is a personal choice and also depends on the atty we are all different, personally I stopped doing coils > 2.5 mm with cotton because it slows the heat up too much and prefer the vape from 2 mm coils. The only way to really know what you like it to experiment, just don't feel there is only one right way.

They are HUGE over 1cm long!! Whoops...

[SteveF]

I bought these, they were accurate but not boxed and 50% were flattened.

I also bought these and again they were accurately rated, well formed and not damaged on arrival. They are wide though and probably won't fit in most tanks without dropping below 0.05 ohms.

And phatfil .....you have me a little worried now but they will be going in a dripper
