29 guage A1 Kanthal

[wyetterp]

Anyone using or used 29 gauge A1 kanthal? I found a really good deal on some & ordered
it, to see. $8, kinda of hard to say no. Seems like it would be good for the provari.

Strange. I figured some one has used it.

Is it new or something. I got it coming from tempco.

Yes, yes already. Used it. By the way, it is equivalent to 30g nichrome. I got a Temco setup of 26,28,29 and 30. Also have Nichrome 26 (my favorite right now @ 2.67Ω/ft vs Kanthal 26 @ 3.21Ω/ft) and Nichrome 28, 32, 34, 36. So there!

I know this info is available elsewhere, but I've got the pic. so here's a little chart of how Nichrome and Kanthal compare in resistance. (I think I got the Kanthal 26 a bit wrong; its either 3.31 or 3.21)
