Pre-made Clapton wire from eBay - BEWARE

[bmkvaper]

So, recently having fractured my hand and been stupidly busy I've not had time to make my own Clapton wire anymore so decided to purchase some online. Without much research or looking around I went for the easiest option eBay.

Without naming any sellers in case I get into some sort of legal shit. Stay away from any of the wires that look like the image attached.

Worst wire ever. Not even sure wtf the material is. Ohms jumping around like mad. Can't even get it to glow. Tried on several mods n tanks, same thing. Went out to local B&M purchases done youde Clapton. Worked great first build. I'm not saying get youde, but don't go with nameless eBay ones.

Happy vaping.

Buy Cheap, Buy twice. At least you're sorted now

Yeah I just wasn't thinking [emoji23]
Usually build my own claptons but thought I'd give this a crack. Glad I couldn't make a stable build actually, God knows wtf the material is. Might have dissolved my lungs!

I had a similar issue with premade claptons I bought on ebay. Now I only use decent wire and make them myself.

If you're still looking for the easy solution I've used and still use UD clapton wire, just got some from Vape Mesh as well as have no issues with it.

It's not DYNAS is it? Kind of important because I just bought some that looks identical to that apart form the name from amazon on prime.

I bought some kanthal clapton on eBay git nichrome instead, the seller had no idea that meant different materials.
Great stuff really but again beware buying anything on eBay without quizzing the seller a bit there can be awesome deals but if the seller can't answer a simple question don't buy.
I just got a smpl mech and had to rebuild the switch because it locked on with the first shot - seller said he tested it and all it needed was a quick wack on the table to pop it back out so why was I complaining...

I bought a roll of youde Clapton wire a while back, more of it ended up in the bin, bloody core kept snapping, and sections where already broken on the roll.
