Hollow wire

[thebishman]

Recieved an email from bargain coils...used to be evs i believe.
In the email it advertised hollow wire. Juat wondered if anyones got any experience of using it??

Cheers

I've heard talk of it, apparently it heats up quicker than the solid equivalent but has the same resistivity.
If it's going cheap, probably worth a punt.

Being a mech user thats exactly what i was hoping someone would say!

Be great if someone on here has used it before?

Oooh sounds interesting so in theory you could wick the wire plus male your coil and then wick it like normal....may have to get some...

I think it is only intended to be coiled and wicked like conventional wire.

Id like to see someone wick a hollow 0.5mm wire lol.


So stainless is ok for mechs right?

Phew. I got some 0.5 hollow stainless on its way

Stainless is fine, just a really low glow when dry burning it so as to not create poisonous oxides. It's best done in low light or I cup my hand around it.
Sounds interesting but I can't see how the same gauge would give the same resistance if hollow. Hopefully you can get your resistance high enough with it for a mech as if as said then it could be a great vape.
I ain't forgotten thebishman and I will post that stuff ASAP 😊👍

No probs jonny. Ill send you some of this stuff in return. I got hollow 0.5mm wire coming.

I use Innowire branded hollow SS wire.

Benefits are a quicker ramp up and better battery life as there is less wire to heat up.

I also found I can build a couple of guages lower in hollow wire and still get the same resistance as a higher guage solid build. (26AWG hollow / 28AWG solid comes out at about 0.8ohms).

Hope that helps!
