I have a Cloupor Mini been using it for 2 years and I'ts been freaking durable so far. I write here today hoping to see if the community can recommend a Wire from fasttech that's suitable to my capped wattage.

$11.35 Authentic ADVKEN Juggernaut Heating Wires for Rebuildable Atomizers - 26*2/32*2 AWG / 0.4mm*2/0.2mm*2 dia. / 0.1mm*0.9mm flat / 0.2ohm / 3m at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

$4.39 Demon Killer Kanthal A1 Twisted Heating Wire for RBA Atomizers - 32 AWG*2 / 0.2mm*0.2mm*5m at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
These is what I'm currently looking at.
Any suggestions / input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

I wouldn't look at these wrapped/coiled/stapeled/alien/juggernaut wires, as they all need a lot more wattage to heat the wire surface. 30watt would BARELY suffice with a Clapton coil.

I'd suggest getting 26awg SS316L wire or kanthal wire, same Awg. And go for a 0.6-0.8 ohm micro coil build. Way more efficient than those crazy wires.

for 30watts or less any gauge from 24-up for single wire builds and 28 and up or 2-4 wire or twisted builds. While you might be able to make a small wire clapton 28/34(36) work at 30 watts, I would not bother with the fancy multi strand "wire" builds. Mainly as ramp time will kill your battery. Might be a good idea to model some builds in steam-engine. Figure out what gauges you want.

Agreed fully

To note with twisted wire, I find when using 2x strands(twisted tightly) it acts/heats similar to 4awg-lower single wire. Ex. 2strand twisted 32g acts/heats like single 28g, 2strand twisted 30g acts like 26g, ect. - this helps alot when using steam engine to wrap coils, finding the right diameter/wraps for the coil ;)
