Deesigner's your Girl for wire and I think cloud 9 vaping do wick, you'll get loads so once bought you'll not need any for ages.



P.S.
cloud 9 is closed at the moment due to bereavement, I am sure others will be along with other sources.

PPS. Do you have a lavatube 2.1/Provari or meter? - only so you can measure the resistance of the coil, though this is not essential if you do 4 or 5 turns of the coil.

www.cloud9vaping.co.uk/ they do wick and wire,but they closed at moment

didn't see previous post lol

[Annie]

Wick from cige-liquid:

3 for price of 2 with free shipping.

Wire from here:

Clicky

Pick up both 0.15 or 0.16 nichrome (resistance) and nickel or silver wire (no resistance) and you can make coils better than the original..

[Annie]

Thank you Macca

[Annie]

Sorry to be a pain with my questions.
So I need to buy silver and nickel/chrome?
I am using 2.4 on my nova so is 0.15 & 0.16 what I need to buy?

[maccafan]

For resistance wire, it heating coil--> 0.16 nickel chrome will make it easier for 2.4 ohm coils.

For no resistance silver or nickel-->0.2 mm (this is optional)

The no resistance wire is to make the legs so that you are not scorching the plastic..Many videos will not do this and will use the coil wire itself for the connections. Totally upto you..

100% on the no resistance wire, that's how I do mine

What's the best way to join the nr to the coil wire please?
Twist? Tie a knot?
