warning, you will pay as if it was made out of gold if buying at a b&m store, in my experience anyways.
i bought through ebay, canadian or u.s. sellers.
if we were living in the states delivered its between $4-$10 for 100'.
temco is considered the best but charge an arm & a leg to deliver to canada.

Thanks happy vapor is not far from me. I wanted something close as I really didn't have anything else to order and shipping would eat most of the cost.
I'm new to making coils so I don't know the good from the bad

Most of the time shipping is free if you buy online. If you are paying more than $0.05/ft for Kanthal or Nichrome you are paying too much !
99% of vape shops make a crazy killing on ejuice and Kanthal because consumers cannot just get this stuff easily at retail even though the source can be like close to you for industrial clients. Kanthal and Nichrome wire are mainly used in bag sealing equipment, so if you look for packaging equipment suppliers you will find them readily.
even with shipping, and exchange, online is way cheaper than local
Canvape kiosks are open during the weekends. They're the cheapest buy for "in flesh-n-blood" stuff (including for rebuildable's) within CA imho.
I care less about saving pennies on quality cotton and wires.
Quality means the lowest cost for the best product !
"Vapowire is the industry's leading supplier of resistance wire for the rebuildable electronic cigarette market. Vapowire's Kanthal A1 wire comes in a variety of sizes, lengths, and styles. 100% Made in the USA."
If you read in between the lines, Vapowire does not actually make the wires and is a subsidiary of the parent company Temco which is basically a supplier as well. These are just respooled wires from a US made source if that is even true. There are many loopholes in the law that something made elsewhere can be labelled made in the US or Canada. These companies are basically just trying to take advantage of those that buy into the "Made in U$A" camp !
Checking their average retail cost in Canadian stores is around $13.99/30ft or $0.47/ft and most online Kanthal is around $4.00/100ft or a mere $0.04/ft. It is costs 10x more and I doubt even more that it lasts 2x longer !

If you want to order from the US
Kanthal A1 Resistance Wire | Lightning Vapes
They are in Florida and I bought 250 feet 28gauge for $17.49 Canadian With $6.99 shipping no matter what you order. Had it in less than a week shipped to BC. I could not ship that across the street for $6.66 in Canada. I figure that for me I can get 750 coils @ 3 cents a coil out of that. I is probably made in Japan but then what is not now a days.
If you prefer US made then try
Kanthal A-1 250ft Spool - Kidney Puncher
Also cheap and low shipping to.
