What is Kanthal?
Kanthal A1 is the old faithful of the vaping world. It’s an alloy of iron, chrome, and aluminum that is super easy to handle. It’s the perfect wire for beginners because it’s stiff and its resistance value doesn’t change when heated. It’s basically the Toyota Corolla of vaping: not sexy, but it never lets you down.
Technically, Kanthal has a high resistivity. It’s ideal for classic vaping or MTL (Mouth-to-Lung). However, it is less reactive than Nichrome or Stainless Steel. If you’re looking for an instant start, you might want to look elsewhere, but for a stable vape with no metallic aftertaste, it’s the undisputed champ.
