Where should I order Kanthal, Cotton, and maybe a micro screwdriver and file?

[LandCloud]

So I did a bunch of searches here and couldn't find this topic, where do you USA based folks order kanthal and cotton from? I need to order cotton online for a reason. Also, if you know a site where I can pick up a cheap micro screwdriver/set that'd be awesome! I just ordered an iGo-L from triangle vapes (awesome prices!) and if there's a spot to grab a file or maybe another method to drill out the airhole that would also be prime! First post here, be gentle!

P.S. I've done extensive research on RDAs but this is my first, so if you have any protips for the iGo-L, they would be very much appreciated!!

I purchased Kanthal off of Amazon. Came from Lightning vapes in FL. I have purchased those little screwdrivers at hobby shops. I used them to work on RC Helicopters. I just use cotton balls from the grocery store. I don't know what kind of file you are looking for, so I can't say, but a hardware shop should have a variety of sizes.

I buy all my wire from Temco

You can get Kanthal on eBay. There are several vendors with good prices.
Harbor Freight has good prices on many tools. Is this something like what you're looking for?

No idea about the cotton. It's so widely available I'm sure you can find a source.

<edit> I've bought Kanthal from Temco and would second the recommendation.

Echoing doots, Temco for wire. I suppose Amazon for cotton and tools if you have to order those online too.

i will second lightning vapes on either ebay or amazon for kanthal. for cotton you will not find a better deal then in store cotton balls are dirt cheap so thats what I use, my wife like peaches and cream cotton yarn which is also super cheap at walmart.

A file wont work to make the hole larger, you will need to drill it out. Drilling can be a pain and if done too wide it will make a terrible vape. I stopped using my igo's and solely use the trident ( i have two and a third on the way) due to adjustable air flow. Also thinking about getting a helio too for the adjustable airflow.

the screwdrivers I had already for years from other hobbies that need precision tools. but most auto part stores and tool sections should sell them. You could pretty much get everything you need at walmart for cheap except the wire.

I second Amazon - Lightning Vapes for Kanthal. They have a good deal on a 100 ft roll. I use the rolled cotton from CVS you get a good amount for 5 bux. You can get it cheaper if you have a coupon which CVS usually offers alot. 99 cent store should have the screwdrivers. Just check for like a glasses repair kit if theres no individual ones.

I just got 100ft of kanthal, 3 - 100 organic cotton balls, and a delcast screwdriver/plier set on amazon all for decent prices! Arrived next day too (except the kanthal coming from FL). Also got a mini torch, multimeter, stainless steel tweezers, and some butane!

Check Amazon for some nice kanthal. My favorite micro driver set, also on Amazon, has to be the Wera 1578. A Wiha 27390 is equally as good with precision in mind for both. A bit pricey but they are quite precise and nice to work with.

I get mine from kidneypuncher, fast shipping no problems so far.

Thank you all very much for your responses! I ended up ordering kanthal from Temco, great shipping time, very inexpensive. Got cottonballs from rite-aid (required boiling due to the peroxide) cheap and taste fine now. Thanks again for all the help!

Go on amazon or Ebay for the kanthal/tools. for the cotton go buy some 100% organic cotton balls from walmart/walgreens/CVS

Temco's website is the best hands down. $4.54 for 100 feet of any gauge you want, with free shipping. Made it to me in snow-mageddon Michigan in 4 days.

Get a Leatherman Style PS whilst you're at it, they're great for all things coil related and not expensive.

I'm having a heck of a time finding this tool at local retailers, like Walmart or Meijer. I will ultimately order one online, but I'd prefer to snatch one up in a store if possible. Any ideas?
