Anyone know a good place to get some 0.999 silver wire or coil to drop in my res? I know Petra's has a kill coil but the shipping is $8.50. Kinda steep for a small vial.

What is a kill coil? lol
Try local jewelry shops... you don't necessarily need wire just ask them what they got...
you could always use some tools and make it more like a heatsink fin form factor... but was the 1oz cheaper than same amount from a site?
Without showing my math - the short answer is not quite even when you factor in shipping, but factoring in the retained value of the 1oz I think its a better deal.
Ok, I'll show my math:
1oz = 28.35 grams.
Petra's kill coil = $8 for 1.3 grams (plus shipping = $8 if you bought it alone)
Jeweler = $18.80 for 28.35 grams (no shipping, but I did have to drive there )
Of course, the 1oz is supreme overkill for about the same surface area (not going to show the math) , but the resale value is much higher.
Buying your own silver strip would be a better price/surface area solution, but I couldn't find someone locally to sell anything but sterling silver strip. Bleh.
Oh, and I'm thinking I'll have to bend it into a cylinder to get it into the res. But I have the tools to do that.
+1, Pure Sylver kill Vampire and Bacteria
Jewelry shop or Petra's tech shop. Lots of Web WC part seller have kill coil.
Mostly personal preference I think... but Silver kicks some PT Nuke dairy aire to keep it g-rated
all depends though... it's harder to put silver in some loops, some people just find it easier to give your loops some drops and not worry about silver going in your pump/rad/blocks or blocking flow etc...
