hmm....thinking of using Ni, maybe at home will try..nver been build Ni..do i need to build it closely or make a gab between?

nichrome is nickle and chromium, it has almost the same properties as normal kanthal.
the difference is nichrome has lower resistance than normal kanthal..
am using it on normal regulated device and my mech.
8 wraps 2mm diameter with nichrome yields about 0.9-1.0ohm at 28gauge while normal kanthal with the same settings yields about 1.1-1.2ohm..

flavour getting better n delicious
if new comer today try hangseng, liqua, or dekang.. no one would jump into vape world.
