You will like SS 316L wire, I have been using it a little over a week now. Its a little softer than Kanthal, but not near as soft as Ni200 its very easy to work with. The only time I dry burn it is when I build a new coil, and then just long enough so it quits smoking, not red hot. The nice thing about SS 316L is you can use it for TC and also dry burn if you want, Ni and Ti should not be dry burned. I only have 28g SS 316L and really like it, easy to work with and no taste. I may start using it exclusively.
