So just back from the market a hellish day going from shop to shop trying to buy components nobody stocks or uses anymore. But well worth the effort cause sometimes you do find old stock rare stuff.
Only bummer was nobody had the 1 to 5 ohm 5 watt resistors.
I fell asleep thinking about how to solve this problem and in the morning I had this idea. As I'm going steam punk anyway.
What about hand wound ecig coils I have all the gauges from 32 down to 22.
I have them in nichrome, kanthal, ss.
I could do a fused Clapton. With an accuracy off 0.01 ohms.
Anybody ever thought of this idea ?.
You can get as fancy or as simple as you like.
And 5, 10, 20 or more watt resistors are possible. You could either show off your coil building skills or you could encase them.
What material do you think I should try first. ?.

I do some tinkering with vapes mostly to create a silicone/cotton hybrid using cheap coils that can easily be dismantled.
Sadly this I don't have in my stock of wires. But it makes perfect sense shall try to source some for sure. Good point about first checking what can be soldered.
