UD wire box

It really seems like good value working out to more or less R75 per spool. However, it would depend on your vaping preferences. If you use temp control a lot, only the 26 gauge SS and the 26 Nickel would work for that. I don't use Nickel at all, so for me that would already decrease the value of the box. I would also personally not use the Nichrome 80 (just according to my own views on the safety of nickel as a heating element and Ni80 is 80 % nickel), so for me the package would ultimately work out more or less the same as buying the four wires that I would use individually (and with the latter I would have a bit more choice as to gauges etc.). However, if you're actually going to use all 6, once again it seems like a great value.
Haven't thought about that i am a noob only had my subox less than a week hahah but i think id give it a shot

Cool. With the Subox you definitely won't be able to use the nickel though. The Claptons will probably be a tightish fit in the Subtank RBA section, but should work just fine if you don't exceed a 2.5 mm ID.
Sweet thanks for the advice i could always sell that nickel for a good price anyways one more Q is the nickel the only one's i cant use in the subox or are there more?

If your Subox is a week old, by next month you will have bought another mod that will be compatible with the nickel
Such a wicked little device, very soon you will be thinking, "If my Subox is this awesome, what else am I missing out on!".Hahaha valid point but im not really planning on another mod soon bud so i just wanna stock up on wire for a few months so i could have cash to spend on e juicesIf your Subox is a week old, by next month you will have bought another mod that will be compatible with the nickel

The 26 and twisted 28 Kanthal would work well. SS you could use in power or temp control mode, so it will work fine in the subox (with 26 gauge single coils, the resistance shouldn't be too low). The Nichrome 80 has quite a low resistance, but since it is 26 gauge you should be able to make it work with single coils (the minimum resistance of the Kbox mini is 0.3 ohms). The 26 / 32 Clapton wire might be a tightish fit, but it should work fine (you will probably need to use it at the higher wattage spectrum available on the mod to get a decent ramp-up time).
If you have the subox and not the topbox you wont need that much wire. 1 spool of Kanthal will last you ages, you will not build coils everyday (I hope) so 1 spool will last you very long. I use my subtank mini still on my VTC mini and I build a new coil maybe once a week.
Thanks buddy for the explanation id rather buy 2 or 3 rolls of wire should last quite good i think thanks so much

Very valid point that I didn't think of at first.
In all honesty, I got myself a selection of wire, and mostly use my 26g Kanthal. I occasionally dip into Stainless Steel but for me, my kanthal is king! I have played with Claptons and the other TC wires, but in my opinion to start off with, just get yourself a roll of Kanthal and SS to start with.
Really good point dude well thats why i like weighing the pros and cons and you guys are experienced so i like hearing how and why from you guys

Honestly 2 or 3 rolls is probably way more than you need lol, you do not need that many. Buy 1 you will probably use that for 6 months if not more. The single coil build 5 wraps is all you need. You overstocking. Spend that extra money on a spare battery or something more useful
That long on a wire spool wow never thought that

Most spools are 10m it just doesn't look that long but it is. I think the first ever wired spool I bought just under a year ago (if not longer) and I finally replaced it in Feb when I bought a crius.
You will learn very quickly how little wired you actually use per coil and you will know what I mean
it is worth it if your planning to put a fence up around your house.

Thanks, now everyone in my office is looking at me for almost falling off my chair from laughter
hahaha good to have a funny forum to sit on all day
Claptons will work fine on subtank, did mine on 2.5mm
Hahahah hopefully we can make that an electric fenceit is worth it if your planning to put a fence up around your house.
lol what a frigging good laugh i had now Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
Hehehe none of us planned a new mod, they just sort of happen. The hard part is trying to explain "the need" to the wife.
