Bought the wrong gauge wire. Suggested coil builds?

[M9Clouds]

So i got my hands on some 24g wires(ordered wrongly) and now im a little lost.

Ive been vaping on 26g kanthal coils previously and now i cant seem to get the same ohms on my setup. Im using a kanger subtank in RTA mode and ipv mini 2. Previously i was doing 5 wraps on 26g to get about 0.6-0.5 ohms. But in order to get the same ohms i did 8 wraps on 24g kanthal. I find the vape very hot very fast and constantly get dry hits.

Im not sure what ohms are safe to run on my mod. Any suggestions? Or should i just buy another roll of 26g kanthal?

have you tried increasing the inner diameter of your coils?

What mod do you have? Kinda hard to say without more info.

Bigger mass of heated metal causes liquid to vaporise quicker---your wicking probably can't keep up, which explains the dry hits. Try lesser wrap for lesser heat and vapor.

Maybe try 5 wraps around a 2.5mm rod, 0.4ohm at 20 watts.

Coil wrapping

I dont have a coiler yet so im still using a 2mm screw driver to make my coils.

Im using a Kanger Subtank mini RTA with IPV mini 2 mod.

Find something larger, another screwdriver, a nail, whatever, make the coil larger so you can get more wick in it to help feed it better.
Your mod will go down to .2 ohms, not sure if that's in temp control or not, not a lot of info out there. It will say for sure in the manual, but I'm sure it will do wattage down to .5 ohms.

Coil wrapping - use steam-engine to find your optimum settings. shoot for 200-300 mW/mm² on the heat flux side, and you should have a good starting point. your screwdriver will make a 2mm ID coil. so, it's gonna be 2mm ID, 24 awg, 5 wraps for 0.37ohm or there about. 18 watts?

Space the coil, 5 wraps around 2-2.5mm i.d., should work better on lower wattage!

so i took all of your advice, on the way home i bought myself one of those screw driver kits and it had one which allowed me to make a 2.4mm ID coil, did 5 wraps and vaping it on 17-20 watts is producing amazing flavor and clouds! thanks everyone!! TGIF! gonna enjoy my weekend even more now.
