I've had this 17 gauge electric fence wire for years. It never rusts. The label on the spool does not indicate which type of SS it is. Has anybody ever tried using it on a mod? I am in no hurry to rebuild my coils,but want input.

17 gauge stainless steel electric fence wire?

You would need 17 wraps of that to get 0.2 ohms in a single coil, whether its 304 or 316 SS, even more if it's a 400 grade which is really unlikely
It's also probably galvanized since it's meant for outdoor use, means it isn't just SS but coated in zinc sulfide
Not a great idea

I've sniffed around and it seems that it can be pretty much anything, I wouldn't use it. Quality Sandvik SS is pretty damn cheap, I personally wouldn't chance using your spare electric fence wire when quality Sandvik SS is so cheap.
There is no coating. I've scraped some up pretty good while installing electric fence to contain a German sheppard. It still never rusted.
Looking at some of what I've seen on VU, it looks like 24 gauge is better. I think I'll order some from a vape shop online when I need it. There is no hurry, as I have 3 mods I can use.

I still have to ask, with how cheap good quality Sandvik SS is why chance recycled fence wire that you have no idea of it's chemical make up is? Seriously why?
I was wondering if anybody tried it, and what results they had.
