Vandy Vape "Mesh Wire"
The Vandy Vape offers mesh wire on spools for use in rebuildable dripping atomizers (RDAs) that are designed for mesh builds, such as their own Vandy Vape Mesh RDA series or other compatible mesh RDAs. Mesh wire provides a large surface area for heating e-liquid, resulting in excellent flavor and vapor production.
Key Features:
-
Material Options: Vandy Vape typically offers mesh wire in various materials, including:
- Kanthal A1 (KA1): Known for its ease of use in wattage mode and good flavor.
- Ni80: Heats up very quickly, providing fast ramp-up time and excellent flavor, but is only for wattage mode.
- SS316L (Stainless Steel): Versatile, can be used in both wattage and temperature control (TC) modes, offering a clean flavor.
- Mesh Count/Density: The mesh wire is available in different mesh counts (e.g., 80 mesh, 100 mesh, 150 mesh, 200 mesh, 300 mesh, 400 mesh). A higher mesh count generally means a tighter weave, which can affect resistance and flavor.
- Resistance: The resistance of the mesh wire is typically given in ohms per foot (Ω/ft). The final resistance of your coil will depend on the length of mesh you cut and install.
- Dimensions: The width and thickness of the mesh strip are important for fitting it into the clamps of your mesh RDA. Vandy Vape mesh strips often have a width around 12mm.
- Spool Length: Mesh wire is sold on spools, with a common length being around 5 feet (approximately 1.5 meters).
Benefits of Mesh Coils:
- Excellent Flavor: The large, even heating surface area efficiently vaporizes e-liquid, bringing out nuanced flavors.
- Rapid Heating: Mesh generally heats up quickly, providing near-instant vapor.
- Large Vapor Production: The increased surface area can produce significant clouds.
- Relatively Long Lifespan: When wicked properly and not dry-burned excessively, mesh coils can last a decent amount of time.
Compatibility:
Vandy Vape Mesh Wire is specifically designed for use in rebuildable dripping atomizers (RDAs) that feature a build deck designed to accommodate mesh strips. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Vandy Vape Mesh RDA
- Vandy Vape Mesh V2 RDA
- Other mesh-compatible RDAs from various brands.
Other Brands That The Wire May Be Compatible With:
Vandy Vape Mesh Wire is compatible with any rebuildable dripping atomizer (RDA) that is designed for mesh coil builds, regardless of the brand of the RDA. The key factors for compatibility are:
- Clamp Design: The RDA must have clamps or a similar system to securely hold the flat mesh strip.
- Size: The width of the Vandy Vape mesh strip should fit within the RDA's build deck.
- Wicking: Proper wicking with cotton is crucial for any mesh coil, regardless of the wire brand or RDA brand.
Therefore, you can use Vandy Vape Mesh Wire in mesh RDAs from brands like Wotofo (e.g., Profile series), Geekvape (e.g., Zeus Mesh RDA), Hellvape, and others, as long as the physical dimensions are compatible.
