.15mm or .16mm Kanthall wire?

[Repent]

I'm trying to decide if I should get .15 or .16mm Kanthall wire? The Bulli A2 I ordered uses .15 wire. From what I've seen Imeo is using .16mm wire, is that correct?

I see that the difference in oHm's between .15 and .16 is 0.21 oHm an inch which doesn't seem like that much of a difference to me. Can anyone even remotely smarter than me on this subject (that would be most everybody) give me some guidance please?

Also, I see where I can order bare nickel wire (no resistance) as well as nichrome wire (although I plan to use Kanthall) from wires.co.uk. Didn't see where they sold #400 SS mesh. Didn't really find anyone in the US to even buy the wire from. Does anyone have a vendor where I can buy the different wires as well as the mesh I need? I just hate to have to order from so many vendors if I can help it.

I ordered some 0.13 (99ohms/m) and 0.16 (66ohms/m) kanthal on ebay, LR atty coils will get the 0.16 and higher resistance ones will use the 0.13 wire. It is nice to have both imo

I like your way of thinking. Makes good sense. The wire is not too expensive.

for genisis atties using 32 or 34 ga.(I have 32 gauge which is .22mm) works best from what I know, IDK about the bulli or Iatty

Since it is so cheap just order a small amount of both, having different gauges will come in handy anyways.

I ordered from the same outfit you did. Got 90m of the .16mm and 60m of the .13mm. Don't know anything about the .22mm

I got a spool of both for $11 delivered. Peanuts. Combined with the wickstore.com 1/16 wick I will have a good supply for a couple of years use of the A2.
