Good place to buy silica wick and kanthal

[LKnives]

Anyone know a good place to pick this stuff up? Is there anything I should look for in regards to "bad" wire?
Edit: Don't think this is necessary info for wick and coil but just in case, cause I am new to this, I am going to be using a AGA-T2.

Thanks ~ Knives

Well, if you want Kanthal cheap, and a good ammount, min. 25 feet...TEMCo Industrial Power Supply

Ment to separate the two.. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/kanthal-wire

Best place for Kanthal A1 is Ebay the sellers name is Temco. The gauge of wire depends on what resistance you are trying to achieve.
You can get Silica wicks on Ebay as well. Not sure of the "best" place for silica wicks.

What thickness wick would you recommend?

 

[TheSystemHasFailed]

What thickness wick would you recommend?

0.7 or 0.8

I believe the stock wick hole is around 2.5mm, so if you want to use silica, that might be a good size to try. Most people roll mesh though. Here is a google doc I found that has some mesh dimensions listed. The idea is that you would cut a piece this size then roll it, and it should be pretty close to fitting perfect:

The sizes seem to vary a bit, so I'm not sure if this is extremely useful or not, but it can probably get you in the ballpark.

0.7 or 0.8

Not sure you read the question right.

As far as kanthal goes id buy straight from the source. Temco all the way!

Hahah, I was heading out and read it quick.

Still, 0.7-0.8 is the bomb.

You can find smaller quantities on ebay if you just want to try out a few different gauges. Otherwise, you can spend a few dollars more and get a huge amount from Temco. Even like 10 feet should last a few months at least, so the daily cost is pennies no matter what you do. Just make sure it is Kanthal A1, widely regarded as the best wire.

Flat kanthal? Or ohms? I have some coils which are both lol... And yes, they are violent and good.

 

[LKnives]

Am I miss reading or does the site listed for silica not say how much you are getting?

Edit: If I would read I would I see that it says sold per foot. I need my summer college course to end so I can sleep properly again.

Never mind, sorry... I didn't check the site and realize they actually sell silica that size. I thought it only came in 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 mm. I was ig'nent

I ordered my first spool of kanthal from temco. They just happen to be less than 20 miles from me. Took 2 days from purchase to doorstep.

So I am gonna have to dig around for some 2.5mm silica tomorrow but I am starting to get excited about this RBA thing. Unfortunate bit is the waiting game I get to play since I can't put down my order for my mech @Fasttech until 2nd paycheck of next month so I will be waiting a bit to get that part.

LOL wow so I'm looking at mad vapes and discount vapers for kanthal wire/silica wicks and everything is out of stock. Does anyone know of a sit that keeps these in stock most of the time?

 

[peterforpats]

temco is the place for wire. I may be wrong, but it seems their own site is cheaper than the price they have on e-bay. 100 ft. for $5.53 and free shipping, best deal in the vaping universe. juiceray has some nice prices on ekowool wick which is the best wick imo. neither place has ever been out of stock when I have ordered.....
