ive been using 317L ss for a fair bit now mostly for tc but it defo needs less power to run it as long as you don't glow it like a lightbulb its ok to use
its gota be worth ordering some 0.3 and 0.4 ss wire for yer squeeze you can make it go pretty colours if you pulse it right it seems a lot softer than kanthal so can be easier to work with but harder to rewick

It cuts off when the Bart gets to low. If the light comes on solid after firing its got loads left. Slow flash is like half empty and fast flash is nearly empty. It will just flash when it's empty and shut off

The fact that it is a Nickel Chrome alloy allows it to be used in power mode. The Chrome changes the composition enough so that the nickel doesnt oxidize in a negative way. Found that
