Welcome Curtis.
First of all - PLEASE DO NOT BUILD A COIL WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO MEASURE ITS RESISTANCE. This is for your safety. I've been building for over a year, and I don't care how pretty or perfect it looks or that I counted exactly x number of wraps with y gauge wire - I DON'T TRUST IT UNTIL I CAN MEASURE IT....
What kind of battery are you using in the anarchist? Do you know the current rating? Do you know the charge left on your battery? Do you know that on a mech mod, as the battery life depletes, the ability to drive the coil depletes?
There's some good reading here:
(18) Baditude's Blogs | E-Cigarette Forum. This guy has been around the block a couple of times and has some good basic information that vapers should know.
Back to the coil issue.... 24g kanthal is pretty thick wire, and it may take some time to heat properly. Don't know the inner diameter of the "nail", so we can't even get a guesstimate (
Steam Engine | free vaping calculators has GREAT coil building info as well as info on OHM'S LAW) If your battery is insufficient, it can't drive the coils, and therefore you aren't going to be able to generate the "cloud".
You also have to make sure that you're getting good airflow around the coil(s). So, lots of factors combine in order to achieve the vape you're seeking.
Keep reading here - LOTS of knowledgeable folks. Building is a great deal of fun (but it can also be challenging
)
