HI Guys

So i want to get the dual coil Deck for the TFV4 tank. I need to know if Kanthal wire would work on this deck ?

Don't have the tank but I can't imagine why it wouldn't.
 
It most certainly will work

Don't sweat it @Coppertop ask away... the vast majority of us are here is to help newbies and any and all questions are welcomed. We were asking similar questions not so long ago!

Come say hello at the JHB Vape Meet!

Like I said. I asked the same question
 
Hi @Coppertop, I am by no means an expert. My advice is based on setups I have personally tried. Here goes:
Kanthal- All tanks and drippers | all mods.
Nickel, Titanium - all tanks, prefer a dripper for nickel though | you must have any Temperature Control capable mod.
Stainless Steel - all tanks, drippers | will work on VW mode but SS capable Temp Control mod prefered.

It is important to note that your mod is mostly the deciding factor when it comes to different types of wire not the tank.
HOWEVER, you would find that your wire gauge plays a huge role in the tank you want to use.
Kanthal in 30-34AWG is best suited (IMO) for rebuilding clearo coils, 28-26AWG is better for tanks without much build space, 24-20AWG is much better for drippers because you must make larger coils to compensate for low resistance.
Ni200 is best used between 28 and 32 AWG for optimal clouds, flavour and a normal sized coil.
Ti 1 and SS I prefer 24-26Awg, mostly because it makes a sufficient size coil and resistance is relatively low but not too low. A word of caution though, do not use Ti 1 in VW mode ever, you will burn your cotton, and cause your coil to make Titanium oxide, which is harmfull.

I am sure the experts on here will probably have slightly different advice, but as I said, "my own experience and experimentation". I hope this help you my friend.

Go ahead, post pics of your builds, we can always help, even if we just encourage you.

I have the TFv4 as well as the Dual Deck RBA. I currently use Kanthal and it works perfectly.
If your coming from the single deck it's best you do your loan application now, that way when your dual deck comes you have enough cash for the juice it's going to require :p

Hey Man. Thanks for the response. I have been on the tri coil re-built coils so I already am feeling the juice pinch :) I am going to get the exact setup you are running. Dual Deck. Will pick it up just before lunch from Vape King and try my first build :) Thanks for all the helpful responses !!

@Nightwalker, My journey down the rabbit hole was a hard one, lots and lots of different combos and wire types, I tried twisted with same guage and mixed gauge wire, flat coils, round coils, oval coils, even T and H shaped coils, watched a ton of vids and read through, probably, the whole of reddit. I still have not found my sweet spot on my dripper though, unfortunately do not have a tank with RBA deck, so I cannot comment on that yet. Also I seem to have a knack for rebuilding things. If anyone is familiar with the Vape V8 tank, I managed to make a 0.6ohm 3.5mmID vertical coil 24AWG kanthal for my wife, it works sooo sooo much beter, I might just start a tuturial thread for the different coils I rebuilt.:nerd::tearsofjoy:
Sorry for derailing the original thread....:lipssealed:

If you liked the Trip coil then the dual deck is going to curl your toes bud! Once I had got the wicking right on the single deck I stopped using the trip or quad coils period.
Then I picked up the dual deck and haven't looked back. It even handles max VG juices without a murmur.

My current build is 24g Kanthal 7 wraps 0.28ohm vaping @between 40-50W. I haven't had a single leak with this deck.
A good tip I picked up from some youtube vids is to fluff up your cotton and have most of the cotton up on the deck with just a small tail dipping into the juice wells. When I mean dipping, I mean just a little bit in the wells up to the top thread NEVER below. Cotton on the wells leads to dry hits!

Start a thread and please share your tutorial with us. I have watched so many vids on wicking and coiling, I can always use more help :D

Glad I could help bud. If you need any help with wicking or coiling drop me a PM. It took me a few frustrating attempts before I got it just right
