Wick and Wire for rebuilds

[Esharp]

I want to rebuild my vivi novas. I want to use cotton for wicks. I see allot of people are using kanthal a1 32 gauge wire. Now I can buy these items at the venders (not locally that I know of), but when you add in the shipping its not really worth it. There must be local sources for cotton wicks or what ever people are using for cotton wicks. As far as the wire, I haven't come up with anything other than the venders. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Some of the Canadian vendors will ship small items like ss mesh and wick for free. I kow jrcustomturning is one of them.

Hey Marthag - Good call and his prices see to be quite reasonable. Thx

Juggy's prices on wick and wire are very decent too.

XCypher - Thanks. That's a really good call. Kanthal wire is impossible to find locally. Plus they have the cotton wicks.

Give these guys a call about Kanthal. ohmalloys.com
Don't think they sell in small quantities but they did have Kanthal last year.

Kanthal wire is impossible to find locally.

Both Juggies and JR Custom Turnings carry them.

Juggies is $9.99 for 100 ft. Kanthal A but shipping is $16, and only worth it if juice or other stuff is being ordered at the same time too.
