I've never used 20 ga.,but the 24 i had took forever to ramp up,so i imagine 20 would be even longer,unless your using really high wattage.I usually stick to 26 ga. it's just right for what i want it to do.
I've not used wire that thick... I use 28 gauge kanthal in my kayfun clones....My happy place I suppose.
20 and 22 Guage is all i build with when i use kanthal. I love it.

I have 22 and it is way too hot. What purpose would you have for it, other than cloud comp?

Me? I enjoy building the sub and super sub ohm builds. I throw a .1 or lower build on, set wattage around 145 or so, and vape away. My usual go to only comes out to around .15, dual coils, usually 7 wraps each , 3 mm id. Or if i want to go lower i can take out a wrap or two.

I build at around 0.45 ohms (dual coils) using 26ga Kanthal. 26ga ramps up pretty quick, is easy to work with and is extremely durable. For my wife's 1.2 ohm single coil builds I use 28ga.
I've put it in the twisted messes, currently using the 30mm buddha v2. Altho i do run smaller claptons and aliens in my limitless.

That's some Really Thick wire. I Couldn't handle the Ramp-Up time of something like that.
I'm Very Happy with 26ga SS or 26 or 28ga NiChrome 80 for the Flavor Chasing I do.
20g Kanthal would be useless for me. All I use are single 18650 mechanical squonkers.
I haven't even used Kanthal in quite a while. I switched to 316L SS a while back. I use 24g on my Stumpy and Maker single Z coils. On my smaller attys, I'll use either 26g single coil or 28g duals. In my Hadalys I have single 28g parallel Z coils.

My overall preference is for 22 gauge. I find it has the perfect balance of ramp up and cool down that is great for my style of vaping. I have played around with 20 gauge and have one RDA that can make decent use of it. But the cool down, LOL, the cool down is just too much, watching all that juice cook away. Only get a couple real good hits out of it before 30 drips is gone.
25 or 26 gauge Kanthal for attys with Post holes
28 gauge Kanthal on attys that trap leads under screw heads.

I like 26 gauge when it goes under the screw head. With some I like 24 gauge

Mostly 26g on everything. Even my Claptons are single or dual core 26 wrapped with 32-40. I do use 28 at times when doing a dual parallel, or twisted wire coils. I've tried doing a dual parallel in 26, but the ramp up time is horrendous. 20 or 22 is too much metal for me. I mostly use 316l for the Claptons, and Ni80 for single wire coils. Sometimes I build with Kanthal as well.

I occasionally use 22G in fact I'm using it right now on a mech. 20G is pretty impractical stuff and I probably wouldn't ever use it.
24g my fav for basic contact coils, have tried 20g in the older T. Messes rda, stays hot longer for sure.
