The Differences between SS316L and NI200

[VincentV]

OK, since I've had a reasonable degree of success with building my own coils using stainless steel wire, I was wondering ...

What are the advantages, disadvantages and differences between using SS316L and NI200 wire when building coils for temp control?

Any advice anyone.

Ni200 is more temperamental! It can oxidize releasing toxins when dry burned. I haven't used it in a while but, when I use ni200, I wipe the wire down with a damp paper towel to clean it before building a coil. My go to build was 26g ni200, 3mm id spaced 13 wrap single coil in a stro mini. It read .1 (point 1).
