Description
N80 wire well suited for wattage vaping is Nichrome. Nichrome wire is an alloy composed of nickel and chromium, and may also contain other metals such as iron. Fun fact: nichrome has been used in dental work, such as fillings. Nichrome comes in a variety of “grades”, with ni80 (80% nickel and 20% chromium) being the most popular. Nichrome behaves very much like Kanthal, but has a lower resistance and heats faster. It is easy to coil and holds its shape well when wicking. Nichrome has a lower melting temperature than Kanthal, so you need to be careful when dry burning your coils — they will burn open if you aren’t careful. Start low and pulse the coils. Don’t rush into it and hit them with max wattage while dry. One other possible downside of nichrome wire is the nickel content. Folks with nickel allergies may want to avoid using nichrome for obvious reasons. Nichrome used to be less common than Kanthal, but has risen in popularity and is very easy to find at vape shops or online.
