So I should do an N80 core instead oh Kanthal? I only ask because most of the build tutorials I've seen that use Kanthal/N80 all have Kanthal as the coreI think n80 > kanthal for mech use, for sure.
N80's primary advantage over kanthal is its lower resistance per mm, and also lower resistance per gram. Running an n80 core in a clapton wire will give you more wattage to offset the extra mass from the outer wire, so it will ramp up quicker.
I think a lot of people (myself included) feel that kanthal/kanthal clapton ramps up too slowly.
Getting a hybrid top cap for my nemesis clone with a mutation x v4, also a clone, and an authentic vtc4...what gauges of N80 would you recommend for a .1-.2 dual coil Clapton?I use n80 for both on my mechs and whatever I want for my regulated mods...lol. normally kanthal, as I find it easier to work with and I can just crank up the wattage, so resistance doesn't matter that much.

Oh, ok. Glad I asked. I'll wait on my vtc4s then before going lower than .3ish. Thank you for the help. I really enjoy building coils as I find it a better coping mechanism than the ones I used to useWell....
.1 ohms is 42 amps on a fresh battery, so I wouldn't build that low as those are only 30 amps batteries
I normally build single coils, 26 gauge core wrapped with 32. 5 wraps around 2.5 mm bit = .4ish ohms.
