Nichrome v. Kanthal

[Flipflops88]

Which do you prefer and why

 

[suprtrkr]

Kanthal. But primarily because I've never tried an Nichrome. Kanthal works great. What for? I did just order some tempered Ni200 to fake up some builds for a new TC mod I just ordered. Neither it nor the mod has gotten here yet.

I use both quite a lot actually. NiChrome has a lower resistance per mm than Kanthal, and from my experience it tends to heat faster. It really depends on what I'm building though. Its like asking whether I prefer Phillips head or flat head screwdrivers.

Kanthal 1 Because that is all I have. LOL No intention of buying any new Temperature controlled vaporizers till it runs reliable with Kanthal 1. CHEERS!

You know why God invented flat head screws? Because he is the only one that knows how to use them. LOL
