You want nicrome wire.  It used to be sold a lot for model rocket engine igniters.  Of course, you could just use model rocket engine igniters.  Check your hobby shop..   You can light them off 3 or 4 "D" cells quite easily.  I never tried AA, but seems reasonable, just not as many times.  :)

Howdy--
I want to ignite flash paper electrically--from some aa batteries.  I'm thinking
very thin wire would heat up well, but i'm not sure if there's some trick to getting wire
extra hot.  Or is there some sort of electronic component that would do the trick for me?
 
Please reply off list.
