SquareOhm Wire

[Squareohm]

I suppose it does .. so you saying that square wire gauges are measure across the flats (narrowest) part?

I assumed the widest part since the wire may have to fit in somewhere, like a centre post hole or such, and further assumed that wire gauge would be an indicator for that. How would one measure triangular wire?

Triangular wire would most likely be a measured width of one of the flats, so long as all sides are equal. Now you've given me another idea...Triangular wire! For what it's worth, square wire seems to fit very well without issue in most all post holes I've used it in.

I know this wire seems pretty bullet proof but I bet you @Zodd could melt it in a heartbeat

I've melted it numerous times with hot spots during forming and positioning coils, the melting point is ~1600° F which almost never occurs even during prolonged firing. That being said, with normal usage I've got some builds going on well over three months old and still working just as good as day 1. The twisted build that is pictured in the first post is still in that same atomizer as when that picture was taken which was well over three months ago.

Thanks for your participation in this thread @Squareohm, very interesting indeed.

No problem, I'm glad to field any questions I can.

I'd say go for broke .. hexagonal!

How about oval wire...

Any vendors looking to bring this in?

Something wrong with the heading: "SquareOhm ...." as Ohm is Triangular
