Hello Krix There is no problem using different coiling wire. Kanthal is not the way to go. SS and nicrome have the least resistance. We will need some information to help. What mod are you using at what wattage?what kind of build do you use? Ohms size number of wraps and gauge and type of wire. All these things make a difference. A lower ohm build will ramp up quicker and will put a larger load on the battery,shorter battery life. I like to stay around .2 +-.05 fussed Clapton's. There more to know then just twisting wire. Ask away.
