Know this is an older post but read it and ordered one of the Sage mods myself. Its in the mail now, wondering how you have been liking it after having it a while. Hope to use it with my old kayfuns and an RDA when letting the Reo's sit a spell.

It's not a bad tube, I love the button. My favorite though are the Arthas 26650 (have 3) and the Oros V2 (have 2). It's a good well built tube and I've been happy with it. I think you'll like it.

I'm about to order wire for building coils on my STMs. I've never tried building them before, so please excuse me for asking a very basic question. I am a low wattage, high ohm, MTL vaper. Do I want the flat Kanthal wire (Kanthal A1 Resistance - Ribbon Flat Wire) or regular Kanthal (Kanthal A1 Resistance Wire (Even Gauges)
I am thinking I should buy some 22, 24, & 26 gauge wire because I have no idea what gauge wire I will prefer. I have an order of prebuilt coils on the way, so I won't have to actually make coils, but I understand I will still need some wire to connect the prebuilts to the rba deck? Am I right here? Does the gauge of the wire used to attach the prebuilt to the rba need to be the same gauge as the pre-built coils? Please tell me if I am on the right path.
Thank you very much, in advance, for sharing your knowledge, hints and tips with me.

No extra wire needed to connect the prebuilds to the deck beyond what you already have on the prebuilt. When you do decide to build your first coils yourself I would suggest the kanthal a1 resistance wire (even guage) 26 ga. to start with. Later on you may want to branch out to other wires.
I've settled on 26 ga 7 wrap on 3mm, about 1 ohm on the STM rba.
24 ga the ramp up and ramp down was more than I liked.

Used a 32/26 Clapton 2.5 mm 4 wraps for a .7 ohm and for my first Clapton build on anything I just gotta say its amazing. I usually just do 26 g. on a 2.5 dia. 7 wraps but decided to finally find out what all the fuss was about.
I suggest the regular. I would get 28 over the 22. I have had good luck with 28 ga 7 wraps at 3mm diameter.
Just a few tips gleened from various forums for new Nemsis owners out there (clone and authentic) if your button is less than perfect out of the box:
1) Check the rice pin - it should be even with the top of the post the bottom silver pin screws into. If it is too long the throw of the button can be off causing the switch to hang if pushed from the side instead of dead center. A file or dremel can fix this problem quickly.
2) Make sure the top of the large spring is inserted up into the channel for it cut into the bottom of the upper part of the switch (opposite side from the black delrin).
I did this for my brass HCigar Nemesis and find the movement much improved, enough that I left my magnets in the box since there wasn't really any improvement over a proper working spring switch.

I also used 28 gauge, 7 wraps
The wire in the OCC coil heads is 26 gauge. I should know. I rebuilt the heads for about a year.
How are these configured though? If I try and make a 0.5 with 26 gauge on Steam I end up with a really high heat flux on 3 wraps.
When I did the RBA I did dual coil using 26 gauge on a 3.5mm at 6 wraps for about 0.5.
I used 2 mm coil horizontal and 5 wraps 26 gauge. If memory serves it was .52 ohms.
At what wattage? I'm new to coil building but if I put that in Steam I'm getting really high heat flux starting at 20W. Just trying to put it all together because I vape the stock OCC and SSOCC coils at around 35W all the time, am I used to super high heat flux?
