Hey All! I've been searching and can't seem to find out what are in the different kanthal alloys. I know there is kanthal A1 and kanthal D, etc. but what are they, what's in them and what is your preferred choice and why? Thanks everybody!
What are the different kanthal alloys and what to use ?

Iron, chrome and aluminum. The different letters are just different ratios.
If I could find KD core wire I'd use it but just because it colors well.
All the alloys taste the same to me so the only reason I use different ones is for the color. Occasionally I'll try to hit a certain load so I'll use different stuff but I mostly use A1 because it has the most resistance and I'll throw a few ply of n80 in for some stripes or something.
When I get more batteries for my my quad parallel I'll be seeking a lower load but I'll still be using mostly A1. Just more of it with less wraps.
