Questions about Stainless Steel Mesh + Kanthal + Genesis-Type Rebuildables

[Whoopin]

Hey guys! I'm new to this entire rebuildable stuff, and I've a Genesis-Type Repairable and I wanted to ask:

1) Let's say if I want to make a dual-coil, my idea was to squeeze 2 stainless steel mesh rolls into the hole, and then wrap 5 coils around each posts but on 2 different Kanthal wires. My theory is that, since there will be 2 connections on each post, the voltage passing through them will be halfed, but if I increase the voltage, there will be 2 same voltage passing through 2 stainless steel mesh = Dual Coil Rebuildables. Is that even possible?

2) Where can I get these mesh + wires locally? I tried using google, only managed to find some kanthal wire at kampong shop, but I can't find the mesh locally. (Also, if anyone has excess or aren't using these mesh, please PM me and sell them to me!)

3) How long do y'all actually use these mesh + wires till they wear out?\

4) Can I use those windproof lighter to oxidize the mesh?


Cheers, and thanks so much for the answers in advance

There purpose built DC line-type rebuildable out there and u do not squeeze 2 mesh with 2 coils in one hole. U'll end up shorting and melting the kanthal.

As for mesh, I'm still contemplating whether to offer any for sale as the cost to bring them in is quite high so yeah....

I have a few source for SS mesh locally, namely #325 and #400. Windproof you mean butane sort of lighters? Yes it works oxidising with it, hell even stove works too, just treat it bright bright red and quelch in pg/vg/water.

Saw some fine mesh at Jln Besar recently..Didnt walk in to ask but i reckon they are those 400 Super Fine 25micron mesh from the Mesh Company..

And ya, cost to bring in relatively high..I ordered 3 pieces of A4 including shipping is like S$50+ abit..

For Kanthal wires, order from Ebay..Receive my 200ft or 61m Kanthal wire recently for S$18.66 total..

From Kelantan Lane??

Saw 2 mesh shop recently..

Yups. Kelantan Lane has 1. Further asking revealed that they only supply large volume. If you wanna buy "Per feet" basis, you gotta go their "retail" outlet @ Jalan Besar.

The one at the main road or the one behind the main rd under one of the blocks near the sungei rd market?

If i didn't remember wrong... If each post ( + & - ) has two connections, then it's a parallel connection... So the potential difference between + & - posts are the same in each wire/connection... The one divided by two is the current...

AFAICR, The 1 under the block do large volume.... The 1 @ main road Jalan Besar does "per feet" basis. For further information, try asking the guy @ the shop under block... It's been months since I went there... I was there looking for self piercing saddle valve.

I wish I can buy a rebuildable, but I dunno where to start :/..

Yeah over there.

Thanks for the answers guys! I already purchased Kanthal wire from Syniche, and I'm gonna get a butane lighter from my mama shop later for some cleaning and oxidizing of what little mesh I've got at the moment. If you're bringing in mesh Syniche, do let me know

In the meanwhile, I think I'll head there during the weekends and check the place out and see the prices they quote; do y'all know roughly which stretch of Jalan Besar the shop is at? Or which street the place is nearer to? Thanks in advance again

 

[MC28]

Should be this shop..Main street heading towards Sim Lim Tower, Town area..

 

[Whoopin]

hehe thanks so much! I'll go check it out and let you all know

Well, there are a couple of rebuildables online, not sure whether they interest you, but just get one and get the stuff that you need and test then out if you don't like them just trade or sell them off for something that you might like

Hey guys! Forgot to update the threat. But I managed to take a visit and bought some mesh. I can't remember the exact dimension I bought, but then the service was bad. You have to call in advance for them to head to the warehouse, and then collect it later
