Ud kanthal A1 vs SS316L- youde

[iki]

Whats the best between these two?
:3

Different materials.. Both can be used on non-TC mods, including mechs, whereas SS316L can also be used for TC (temperature control).
SS sports less resistance than Kanthal (about half) at the same wire gauge.
Many people seem to prefer SS for a supposedly 'cleaner' taste, personally I don't find that much of a difference in that respect.

Ok, but the kanthal is much more expensive. Why is that?

You're welcome
No idea, check multiple vendors

I personally, prefer the SS316L over Kanthal, due to being able to use it in either power, or TC mode. In addition, with the lower resistance, you can build coils with more surface area, thus more vapor.

Neither do I, but such a difference in price is unheard of... Anyway go with the SS, it's an excellent wire.

The Evic VTC Mini's TC for SS is working flawlessly. I'm using mainly my crowns on it with SS coils.
