Take a length of mesh put it in the chuck of the drill and spin it into a round wire.
Is it something that can be done? Has it been done and is it worth trying?

you might want to go ask directly one of the posters who make those extreme coils.. off the top of my head @CrazyChef v2.0 would be a good start.

wire mesh is galvanized with zinc, and there would be no way to pre-calculate your resistance. God knows what oils and contaminants might be on that mesh as well. Coil wire is cheap, no need to use make-shift wire. Plus all those low resistance strands would require a lot of power and have a slow ramp up.

I thought all vape mesh (metals) was/were stainless steel.........I was worried about 'strands' breaking lose and creating some arc problems.

I dont think he was talking about vape mesh. Vape mesh is VERY fine.. like woven 50ga ss. (think coffee filter) and is actually used rather than cotton but not as a coil material.

Ripp trippers, I think, did a build vid on a Rolled mesh coil a couple years ago. It can be done if your atty has big enough connections.
