Kanthol Gauge?

[Cheechmachine506]

Hey guys, Curious if someone could help me out. Im new at rebuilding but have ordered the dark horse rda. All my local vape shop carrys is 32 gauge kanthol.. is this to small or should i move up and order some 30 or 28?

Cool thing about kanthal is that it can be easily manipulated.
So if all you can get your hands on for now is 32g you can take to pieces and twist them together and end up with a thicker wire.
I only used 30 gauge for many months and was very pleased with it.
I just recently got some 28g and think it is amazing.
There are so many things you can do with the stuff why not get all three gauges.

For my drippers i use either 24 gauge or 22 gauge. These seem to work really well at 5-6 wraps on a 1/8th inch drill bit. This brings you to about .25-.20 ohms in dual coil.
This is where i buy all my kanthal from. Great prices. Fast shipping.

Thanks! Ill have a look and let you know if I have any questions. Unfortunately I already ordered 100' of 28 gauge but eventually ill get some 24-22. Thanks for the help!

I use my 28 gauge for my kayfun builds. Which is my all day device. If you want, you cant twist the 28 gauge for lower ohms. Lots of youtube videos on how to do so.
