I have tried Kanthal A1 and nearly threw up!

Not in the context it is being used, a constant by which an algebraic term is multiplied.

but maybe it’s meant as a noun?

Here's an odd one for you all. I've used 316L for years in my rta's, but over the past 6 or so months I've had to switch to kanthal as SS now seems to irritate my gums?

Tried to go back to 316L again a couple of times, but I can only manage a day or so before I need to switch back to KA1.

I have tested wire from 2 different shops, and premade single core claptons too, but still the same outcome.

Don't think not being able to visit the dentist for 12months has helped, but still find it weird.
