Can you explain why and how copper would wear out? If it makes any
difference, its silver coated copper wire, and is sold as high-temp wire. I
see no reason why it would break, as it is very flexible.

Thanks,

Chris Strizver

you really might want to stay with nichrome wire , copper won't give you
longevity. There are also carbon fibre weave heating elements available. I
don't have those sources handy though.
