thanks karl. played around with a rebuildable atty and i ran out of silicas and kanthal wires.

Got my kanthal from ebay and wick from the wickstore. kanthal seems more tough than nichrome. a bit more indulgence would be silver wires, also available from ebay.

actually the best i had was silver wires..

You can find resistance wire on ebay, here is one link for kanthal wires:

Kanthal D - 0,13 mm, 10 m, Draht Heizdraht - 99,8 ohm/m | eBay

As for wick, if you want silica, so far only McMaster Carr. But if you don't mind fiberglass wick, you can try Wicks for Candles and Oil Lamps - Earth's Largest Selection of Industrial Wicking and Cords - WickStore.com.

Try not to use fibreglass wicks. I did an experiment by burning it with a butane lighter and it melts. Whereas for silica wicks, it glows bright red and the fibres are still intact after it cools.

Both of these are used as oven insulation materials and they are collectively known as fibreglass wicks/ropes(silica is glass anyway). If u are getting from places other than mcmaster, ask the seller what percentage is the silica content. You should be getting those that are at least 98% silica.
