I tend to just buy from stealthvape now. I know you can save a few quid here or there with FT and the like, but they have a really good rep and I've found there products to be better quality and overall better suited to vaping.
When you talk about metals (especially alloys) there can be a huge differences in quality and make up of such materials. I'm led to believe stealthvape take a lot of time sourcing and making sure there materials are top notch and suitable for vaping. Little things like having there wire tempered certainly make a big difference when it comes to using them. I'm not saying that that's the only place that you can buy good quality wire from but I know myself, I've always been happy with what I've purchased from them.
Hi there mate, I hear quite a few people mention NiFe wire types, so I decided to try some myself.Have been using SS316L for TC for a while and liked it, had a similar experience with sore throat for a while but only with a couple of my home made juices and only 1 or 2 batches so concluded it was the mix, had no problems with new batches of same flavours on SS. Have just starting using stealthvape NiFe30 though and would real recommend it, nicer more accurate TC vape even on first builds. Nothing wrong with SS316 but NiFe is taking my TC vaping to another level so far
