I was wondering about the vaping wire from Fastech

Wicks/Wires - https://www.fasttech.com/category/3033

Should I use stainless steel or NiChrome wire to sew into old clothing like hoodies, scarfs and winter pants.

 

There is also this I might try its carbon tape from here http://www.carbonheater.us/

its better value then Sparkfun. Cheapest would be vaping wire.

 

 

I could also use carbon fiber tow but termination for electrical conductivity may be an issue.

You ever touch your tongue to a 9V primary battery? it gives a slight tingle.

I am going to buy some 12V vehicle emergency electric blankets and see what I can rock with those. Its the same price as the Sparkfun pads I bought. With the Sparkfun pads you can place them where they are needed.

 

Its bitterly cold and I got the top half sorted out with a triple layer smoking hot hat that is deep enough to cover my ears and still have the fold. My hoody and Carhart jacket with fluffy bits on the inside so I am pimping that way. Both have hoodies. An addition would be a scarf, that would keep the wind out of my chin area, then when it gets even colder some ski goggles rock totally hard. I need to sort out the bottom half, with just jeans its average for wind blocking. Long johns, jogging pants and looser fitting jeans, thick socks and my Marks Work Warehouse heated electric boots which suprisingly enough I scored free from the Sally Ann many years ago. Its a tax write off for Marks.
