Grab mine on ebay nichrome wire | eBay appears that kanthal is pretty scarce right now, but nichrome is plenty available, vapes just as well. Actually my 28g wire is nichrome, great stuff.
I purchased some Kanthal here Resistance Wire | Silica Wicks Only just ordered it yesterday but seem like up and up (originally saw it on the deals and steal thread. Owner contacted me via email to address some issue.
There are 2 codes available, think the ecfdeal is best 25% off wick and wire.
10off
ecfdeal
for ebay kanthal, when I messaged the seller back on july 15, this is what I got
"Will be back in 3-4 weeks.Wesley.
- coinswiesiek"
so still a week or 2.

to be fair,
on ebay prices are around $6 for 75ft. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Resistance-heating-wire-Kanthal-A-1-32-awg-75ft-/170643720464#ht_1389wt_931
coinswiesiek is 200 ft for $10.25
Resistance heating wire Kanthal A 32 awg 200 ft, | eBay
but they aren't available... for readily avilable non 3-5 ft for $2 and bent wires, I think it is more than reasonable.

We should honestly set up a co op and just buy a few pounds of 28-32 AWG kanthal A-1 directly from kanthal and call it a ...lifetime
I was looking at the 200' roll as well but its just to much wire. I use like 2.5" once every 3 or 4 weeks. I guess I could sell some but would I really sell it. Probably not.
I used to love nichrome 80, woke up one day and it made me gag, abrupt sensitivity to the taste, baffles me to this day. kanthal was like a godsend
This thing is a gas hog, wow and the nicotine head rush mmmmmmmmm.

I buy 12/8 nic now. I think I vape too much while at home in front of the PC. Before with cig, I have to actually get off my .... and walk outside... Now? non stop vaping.
what I found for me:
nichrome, subtle metallic taste, never goes away
kanthal, horrendous metallic taste, goes away after about ten vapes, and goes away *entirely* And if you're building a genny, you'll never notice, because by the time you have your coil set up and ready to go you'll have hit the trigger a good 10 times minimum before you vape

I'm on 12 now I vape a 30 ml down to 20 ml and add pure VG than I'm ok.

I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has posted such helpful tips for the DID!
I was initially struggling with getting a coil setup that didn't have bouncing ohms.
I read through the help index post #2596 (THANK YOU), and found all the answers I could have ever needed, by just clicking the links. That index is beyond great!
I found out that I was doing a lot wrong:
#1 - My nuts were on wrong - Yep, more nuts! I had them all different ways, except correctly; having the lower nut and the concave face pointing up, and having the top nut with it's concave face pointing down.
#2 - I was not oxidizing the wick enough, or taking my time. You need to really do a good job here as has been said, and it will save you headaches later.
#3 - I was not heating up the kanthal wire enough, prior to wrapping the wick. Heating it up with a lighter till it glows nice and red, up and down your strand sure does make a huge difference. Previously I was heating the wire, though not enough which contributed to problem #4.
#4 - Wrapping the wire on the wick too tight.
With the changes noted above, my DID is doing what it should, blowing the doors off my house with vapor!
Thank you to everyone who has contributed help, tips, ideas, and posted encouragement in getting it all down.
