Thanks for the info, I'm starting to look for some too.
Harder to find than I thought it would be.
Also looking for the Stainless Steel 400 mesh if you've got an outlet for that.
(Somebody's got 2 G-tank-US's coming hehe)

There is a seller on ebay for that as well ... but it would be nicer to find an online retail outlet rather than depend on auctions for supply, for a more steady and dependable residual supply.

I totally agree, We need a reseller to stock these badly!!! If anyone finds a good place please let me know =)

On the SS mesh, the difference in size is relative to juice thickness. 325 seems to work better for folks using thing juice (e.g. Higher vg) and the 400 is good for thinner (e.g. Higher pg). I get 400 t-316 SS mesh from: http://myworld.ebay.com/Maryhoffer

For kanthal a-1, I use either 32awg or 34awg depending on what resistance I'm after
Gauge Ohms/ft Ohms/in
32 13.81 1.151
34 21.28 1.773

I get them from: http://myworld.ebay.com/coinswiesiek

You can email them if what you want isn't listed.

Difference between kanthal a a1 and D is ohm rating. I dont remember the specifics but essentially with the different diameters and designations it is ohms per foot.


Kanthal A-1 (wire)

2550f max temp

1.45 (872)Electrical resistivity at 20°C Ω mm2/m



Kanthal A (wire)

2460f max temp

1.39 (836)Electrical resistivity at 20°C Ω mm2/m

Kanthal D (wire)

2370f max temp

1.35 (812) Electrical resistivity at 20°C Ω mm2/m

so a1 offers slightly more resistance than a? would i notice much difference between the 2?

This vendor uses ebay as his online store. I've always just done the "buy now" and it's a realtime transaction like any other online store. I saw the earlier post, guess he was on vacation, but I've always seen him with "more than 10" available. Last time I ordered it was 3 days order-to-door.
