Vandy Vape "Kanthal A1 Fused Clapton Wire"
The Vandy Vape Kanthal A1 Fused Clapton wire on spools for vapers who prefer Kanthal for its ease of use and good flavor production in wattage mode. Kanthal A1 is a common resistance wire known for its stability and relatively high resistance compared to Ni80 or stainless steel.
Key Features:
- Material: Kanthal A1 (KA1). This alloy is composed of iron, chromium, and aluminum. It is widely used in vaping for its good oxidation resistance and consistent resistance values.
- Construction: Fused Clapton wire consists of multiple core strands of Kanthal A1 wire tightly wrapped with a finer gauge Kanthal A1 wire. Typically, it involves two or more core wires. This design increases the coil's surface area.
-
Benefits:
- Enhanced flavor compared to simple round wire due to the increased surface area.
- Good vapor production.
- Kanthal A1 is easy to work with and holds its shape well when building coils.
- It is exclusively used in wattage (VW) mode and not suitable for temperature control (TC).
- Generally has a slightly slower ramp-up time compared to Ni80 but often faster than thicker single-strand wire.
- Spool Length: Vandy Vape Kanthal A1 Fused Clapton wire is commonly sold on spools with a length of around 3 meters (approximately 10 feet). The exact length may vary depending on the product.
-
Gauge Options: Available in various gauge combinations to suit different building styles and desired resistances. Common examples might include:
- 26GA x 2 + 36GA KA1
- 28GA x 2 + 38GA KA1
- Other configurations with different core counts and wrapping gauges may be available.
Compatibility:
Vandy Vape Kanthal A1 Fused Clapton wire is compatible with any rebuildable atomizer (RDA, RTA, RDTA) that has a build deck capable of accommodating the coils you create with this wire. As long as the coil fits and the resulting resistance is suitable for your mod and vaping preferences, the brand of the atomizer does not matter.
