kanthal equivalent of ss316l build

[gardenia_bread]

i'm trying to build a kanthal coil that's similar to my ss316l build, because at where i'm from, kanthal is much more accessible that ss wires, unless i start using questionable chinese wires

this is for a mech mod, and i'm also using steam engine to help out

i believe i need to get the heat flux to be around the same right?

what about heat capacity? does this only affect the ramp up time of the coil? or does it show roughly how much heat is transferred from coil to juice?

and lastly, is there an alternative to steam engine? its quite a pain to have to switch between the coil wrapping tab and ohm's law tab (to calculate the wattage due to different resistance)

Don't have an answer for your question, but if you are in the US, here is a great site for all your wire needs.

thanks but sadly i'm not in the US

read it, but from my experience, it seems that my kanthal build while with lower heat capacity, lower mass and higher resistance, is more greatly affect by the battery voltage than my ss build

is that just how kanthal are in mech mods?

the kanthal build is 26 ga, 5/4 wraps, 3mm internal diameter with the following properties

Resistance per coil 0.66 ohms
Heat flux @ 46W 339 mW/mm²
Heat capacity (each coil) 22.4 mJ/K

and the ss316l build is 26 ga, 7/6 wraps, 3mm internal diameter with


Resistance per coil 0.48 ohms
Heat flux @ 63W 288 mW/mm²
Heat capacity (each coil) 44.2 mJ/K

with the kanthal build, i need to recharge my battery at around 85% and with the ss build around 70%

yup was doing that, but was hoping for a website that allows me to enter voltage in the steam engine page, so that i would not have to keep entering the resistance
