Vandy Vape produce high quality complex vape and heater wire spools. We have chosen a selection of the highest performance wires in SS316L and Kanthal A1 for various setups such as the TRVP V2, StemPod Si or most other RDAs. For building quality coils a Coil Winding Kit is recommended.
SS316L Wires are suitable for use with SS temp control settings. They have a good level of oxidation resistance at vaping temperatures so make a good option for temp control based wire setups.
Kanthal A1 Wires do not work with temperature control so are for Wattage based setups only. They have particularly good oxidation resistance at high temperatures so provide a great solution for making wire heaters which need to run hot. This is the material we would suggest is used for setups such as the StemPod Si.
Wire Types SS316L
- SS316L Juggernaut Fused Clapton Wire - 10ft -1.52Ω/ft - £8 - This is the largest type of wire available and provides most vapour production or heat retention, making for large clouds of warm vapour. It has two internal cores. This Juggernaut wire consists of 2 x 28 gauge wires, each wrapped with 1 x 37 ga wire, these are then set parallel and wrapped with 1 x 24 ga wire ribbon which hold them together.
Kanthal A1 Wires
- Twisted Fused Clapton Wire - 10ft- 3.35Ω/ft - £6 - This is the same as the SS316L Twisted clapton wire (2 x 28 gauge wires wrapped around 1 x 30 ga wire), but made from Kanthal A1. It makes a high quality alternative to the regular heater wire used for the StemPod Si as it has an internal core which retains more heat while allowing for lots of airflow. We like to use this at around 47-49W with 6 spaced coil wraps and airflow open max 1/4, using Method 3 on the StemPod Si page.
- Juggernaut Fused Clapton Wire - 10ft - 2.77Ω/ft - £8 - This is the largest type of wire available and provides most vapour production or heat retention, making for large clouds of warm vapour. It has two internal cores. This Juggernaut wire consists of 2 x 28 gauge wires, each wrapped with 1 x 37 ga wire, these are then set parallel and wrapped with 1 x 24 ga wire ribbon which hold them together.
Coil builders should be aware of all aspects of vape safety and have a good general knowledge of vaping and ohms law especially if using unregulated box mods.
