sellers of modding equipment

[Brian]

here is a list of sites that sell things from enclosures to resistors and everything in between.

I borrowed this list from our friends at UKV and thought it might be useful being here so we dont have to go trawling through their multiple threads to find it every time its needed for reference.

Anything you all might find that is useful to keep here, then add to post or PM and i will add to list.

Which one of these would you guys recomended for the coil wire and wicking material?

[maccafan]

I doubt any of those do wick..If you want it quick this is best:

www.cig-eliquid.co.uk/2mm_fiberglass_wick/p649230_2911788.aspx

3 for the price of two or 5 for the price of 3 with free shipping.

Coil wire from wires.co.uk..0.16 nichrome. One of the forumites here called deesigner also sells wire.

Or you can buy kanthal A1 from ebay:
Clicky

Takes time to arrive but is the best I 've experienced..

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

Is the 32awg the one to get then? and is anyone on the want for some if I am getting?

Has anyone tried using the 2mm fiberglass tubing as a wick?

[maccafan]

For Kanthal A1 get 32 AWG is the same as 36 SWG roughly 0.2mm dia. That's one linked to above

If you want bare nichrome get 38 SWG roughly 0.16mm.

Also there is

www.ebay.com/itm/Kanthal-A-1-32-awg-resistance-heating-wire-75-ft-/251041274926?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D250996798063%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8152240050578513762

Useful for a group buy perhaps

[dave]

I bought my Kanthal from here:
ukvapers.com/topic/16327-ukv-central-wire-stores/
Terry on UKV does a fantastic job and you get it immediately

[Brian]

Think i saw hes away on his hols at moment though.

Ive bought off him before and hes pretty cheap

[Batdragon (AKA Batty)]

I have just ordered myself a load of wire. so when it turns up I will put something on this forum saying that some of it is available to long standing members only lol
