Has 32AWG nichrome which IMO is best for rebuildables as it has sufficient tensile strength to withstand the heat. Tried 34 & 36 all CMI. Nichrome melted within a few days.

When u go there ask for foam cutter wire. Brand is Proxxon. If u're DIY buff like me it's like a playground for you. I've been eyeing their Sherline CNC machine for the longest time......

$12.50 for 30m

SG tooling and Sherline CNC are not cheap, for wires i rather get from UK. best bucks imo...
used to buy my stuff from them before and i turn into oversea vendor which able to give me some better price.

if you do not mind the price on the high side a local supply would be the best buy without long waiting for shipment.

Ebay the best. search for it IF u are willing to wait. For those impatient ones, can use KArls's suggestion.

Ebay,just spend like 30 bucks to get some mesh and wire(100ft),it can last you a long long time for the mesh as it can be reuse and wire,i think i can make a house with it and have spare to build coil..LOl

I think e point here is tt, Karl is trying to point out tt there r items ard in our country tt would mk it a vaper-friendly place. This is good to know. It is not abt getting cheap steals frm in and ard.

'Cos I do hv this habit of gg in to hardware & bargain stores to look out for vape supplies and vape-related stuffs. Smtimes, u'll nvr noe wat hidden treasures lie in abundance waiting to be unearthed.

 

[Vinniz]

Agreed. Which is why I gave both options. Cheap but must wait vs A bit more ex but can get instantly. I thought I was being the only vape crazy guy, going into old type of DIY shops to look for vape treasure..

I've been trying very hard not keep going to sgtooling and look at their mills. Thankfully they cost 3k+ for a basic set. Someday I might get one when I figure out how to cast and mold silicon

Another place that may have nichrome will be Bras Basar Complex. Look for those art and craft shop.

So actually those wires that I have used in Sec sch for Art classes to cut my Styrofoam, are nichrome wire... Something new learnt today.
