. I tried using 34 gauge stainless steel wire instead of Kanthal- A1. Got little or no discoloration after a full atty.The taste did not change after using up all the juicy peach in my Kangertech T3s atty. The Coil wick stayed very clean while vaping all the liquid. The wire coil was cobalt blue and clean. bought my wire 34 gauge at AC More in the Jewelry section. The number of coils will determine the resistance you are after. I have been using cotton for a wick with a few strands of rope wick over the top for a flavor wick. Kanthal-A1 breaks down while vaping and I believe it turns the juice brown. anyone tried using ss coils with good results as I have.
