When you use the steam engine, don't forget to pay attention to the heat flux numbers. It was a couple months before I even noticed it. But once you know what general range of heat flux you like, it becomes a lot easier to calculate how you should build different types of wire when you start playing around.

Most people seem to like a flux of around 200, give or take 10-20. I prefer a cooler vape, so I usually shoot for 160-70.

A big thumbs up to these two posts.

And the coil diameter. Here is everything you need:

Going to use the same diameter as the infamous blue screw driver to wrap around it. Just need a general idea about how many wraps..
