Wire recommendation

[dragonbat13]

Has anybody tried this wire, specifically for heaters? How well does it strip with regular Klein dual blade strippers?

I'm considering that or tube depot's PVC wire.

I want to find something that can withstand the irons tip (within reason) and doesn't require strippers that costs a fortune. And I don't want to use cloth on this build.

I haven't tried that particular wire but I used this Weico PVC wire with great success and it strips really easy!

I've used the Teflon and Tefzel wire. The insulation is very slick, for lack of a better word. I find it hard to strip. I use a automatic squeeze type stripper, and also a traditional hand stripper when needed. They both have trouble grabbing the insulation. Maybe my technique sucks, I don't know.

I use the valvestorm pre-tinned wire, but it may not meet your needs.

THATS where I got that bundle long ago. That is a good deal. I may go with their stuff.

Thanks.
