same here they are "But It Now" and he is good about stocking them (when not on vacation) he answers questions quickly and nicely as well... good deal IMO 100 feet will last a LONG time

I've been looking for the
Resistance heating wire Kanthal A-1 32 awg I msg the guy on ebay to see when/if he will get it in-stock again.
As for the mesh there is t316 but no 304 correct me if im wrong but that's what ZEN suggest to use on his APV right ? and anyone know why that would be ? i'm looking to buy some 325 and 400 mesh + some 32awg a-1 kanthal but it proves to be elluding me lol

Spoke to the guy on ebay for the Resistance heating wire Kanthal A-1 32 awg I told him I was looking for it and he said he will have it in stock in a few days for us 
Defiantly doing this since I have 2 V 2.5s now rebuilding just makes them even sweeter!
You stand corrected, there is a Kanthal A as well as a Kanthal A1 a well as the newer APM If you want to see the biggest and best supplier of Kanthal as well as read all the specs go here superdave = Resistance heating alloys and resistance alloys
Dont waste your time calling this company trying to buy Kanthal though unless your willing to purchase about 5-10LBS I bought 5lbs for $250 and have a lifetime supply
but they wont sell anyone 100-300 feet, I believe 5lbs is the Minimum and your looking at $250 easy
LOL want to sell me 500 feet of the A-1 32 AWGYou stand corrected, there is a Kanthal A as well as a Kanthal A1 a well as the newer APM If you want to see the biggest and best supplier of Kanthal as well as read all the specs go here superdave = Resistance heating alloys and resistance alloys

Approximately how many feet does 5lbs yield?
gotcha I was kinda meaning available for sale in quantities easily obtainable, although that is cool they have so many varieties .. I had no idea!

Ok so do I want the t-316 mesh or the t-304 SS mesh ? and any explanation why i would want one or the other would be cool also.

I found a place in China that makes Kanthal if your interested , they wrote me an email meaning it might be cheap but I am waitng for min and price list
Cool I just bought some off Ebay the guy in the earlier thread has some 32 A-1 instock rightnow.

I use 325x325 or 400x400 T-316 mesh. Supposed to be more resistant to corrosion. (WOVEN WIRE MESH STAINLESS STEEL 400 MESH 12"X12" FILTRATION | eBay)
Really ? Cool I will check it out there is some good prices on eBay for it

Approximately 32,786 ft for 32 AWG Kanthal A1
1000ft = 0.1525 lbs If your wondering about any other alloys or gages the spec sheets for different type of Nichrome and Kanthal are here - Resistance Wire.Com | Technical Info
So I would need to have at least 1.3" of A-1 to equal 1.5ohms?
If I wire two coils-up @ ~1.5ohms each in parallel I Should get about 3.0ohms of resistance total?
Yes on question 1. Because resistance through metal is relative to distance you can measure approximately to get a preferred resistance. It's never exact though because you still have to account for extra length to make connections and the internal resistance of what ever device you're using. (close enough though)
Question 2: Its just the opposite, 2x 3.0ohm coils will give a relative 1.5ohm resistance to your PV because you'll pull twice the current with 2 coils.
