I purchased this wire to make a twisted coil. A 5 wrap twisted coil reads 0.20 ohms which is perfect for my needs. Great ramp up heat and no hot spots. This wire appears to be great quality. I will definitely purchase more when needed.

The best wire for my build very clean. I order from Greece and very happy. Thanks wireoptim I order again for sure.

The wire is great quality packaging is nice and shipping to delivery is very fast. The price of different gauges of wire and types im is very affordable. My only con would be the slit on the spool to hold the wire for 28guage and up could be little smaller. But will be ordering from this site only.

Highly Recommended Product, You must buy for best experiences
Jake West (verified owner) –
This wire works great for what I use it for, its wrapped great and doesn’t unspool like most wire does from say kidney puncher or another retailer. Very happy with the purchase!

Because my favorite coil-making brand ceased production of the pre-built coils I use with my vape, I was forced to seek out wire to create my own coils. I completed ample research to ensure I wouldn’t be risking my health due to cheap wire or materials, and much of my research pointed me in the direction of this brand.
I was pleased to see that Wire Optim sells odd-gauge wire; most brands only carry even-gauge. I was able to find 27 gauge Kanthal A1 wire that I needed, and it shipped out quickly after I placed my order. When test firing the built coils made of this wire, the burn is even and steady – perfect.

I’ve been using this company for wire gong on, at least , (if not more) 5 years, its very consistent and dependable, and always has been.
I will continue to use them , Highly Recommend

This was the cleanest spooled wire I’ve ever purchased. If you follow me on IG, you know that I’ve strictly used a different company for quite a while. I’m definitely switching brands, it’s a very good price as well.

Thanks for the usual great service and price. Excellent quality wire.
Nic L. (verified owner) –
For as long as Ive been building my own coils Ive been buying whatever filament wire my local shops carried ( just even sizes) but knew Id be happier with something in between 22 and 24. If you arent building coils with 23 ga youre missing out.

Tadge V (verified owner) –
I just LOVE Lightning Vapes great customer service great wire and awesome prices!
M S (verified owner) –
This wire is quality and priced just right. They are the only guys that had 35g and above wire i could find. The 25g kanthal i bought is great i use them to build fused claptons and the wire is not too thin like 26g. Even the thin 40g wire is durable and i didnt have a problem when i built my coils. Also lightning vapes does a lot for our troops overseas and they send donations here for our local base club in kuwait. They are my 1 choice for wire when i order for quality and value!

This was my first time getting 23g Kanthal. Sometimes I cant decide whether to use 24g or 22g. Problem solved! Good quality kanthal!
April R (verified owner) –
Amazing wire Fast Shipping& Great customer service!
Doug C (verified owner) –
Some people think Im odd that I think 26G is too small and 24G is too big.
Paula P (verified owner) –
very happy with the lower gauge wire. Makes a huge difference. Thanks again for fast shipping and top notch customer service!
Rocco H (verified owner) –
I ordered the 27 gauge kanthal wire to get a slightly higher resistants for my alien coil builds. With the 27 gauge (instead the 26 I usually use) it becomes a little harder to keep the 3 wires perfectly parallel to each other but its worth the effort to me. The flawless consistent wire from LV brings my builds up to the higher ohms I needed. Thanks.
Damon A (verified owner) –
This is perfect for twisted 28G for my Kayfun!

Jack j. (verified owner) –
hi Guys yeah I tried the 31 AWG and it improved the performance of my kanga 1000 pass thru was better with flavor wicks but it consistently gave a Ohm of 1.501.75 which was a nice throat hit and not any hotter gona buy that again
Matthewrez (verified owner) –
Very nice wire to work with..fused coils for those who dont want to push thier batteries super hard
Gerald S (verified owner) –
Aside from me not being particularly fond of the gauge wire I ordered you guys did a stellar job. Me not liking my wire is my fault Ive never built with 23g and wanted to try it out but its not for me. Will be ordering from you guys again soon I dont get my wire from anywhere else. Looking forward to trying some of your juice as well!
Robert Y (verified owner) –
Bought 100ft of 22 and 24 Guage wire also some 21 and spent over 23 but didnt receive a free bottle of juice but everything came quick and perfect

Matthew M (verified owner) –
Easy to add stuff to cart easy to pay fast shipping. What more do you want?
James K (verified owner) –
As always great service at a great price. Only 4 stars on this 31 gauge Kanthal because the resistance seems to be .4.5 ohms different each time I build a coil with it. I am using it to rebuild my kanger single coils with a 6 wrap spaced coil wicked with cotton. Havent used much of the spool yet so perhaps it will get more consistent further into the spool. I cant complain though. My mod just adjusts the wattage to suit. I will update this review if this wire gets more consistent results.

Never have any issues with my wire from Lightning vapes. I buy all my wire even odd KA1 N80 and ribbons. Consistent ohms and fewer hot spots than other wire. Shipping is fast and correct.
