24 gauge vs 28 gauge kanthal

[jdake3265]

I too drip most of the time, and found out I like 26g better than the 24g I was using..my brother suggested I try parallel 26g with 6 wraps on a 3mm bit which read .17 ohms for dual coils. Close to the .15 ohms for the 24g..anyway this build is one if the best I've tried yet..instantly heating up and because it covers more of the cotton I get a thicker vape.. Very enjoyable [emoji39]

Funny you should say that because it truly does! Lol

i have a dual parallel micro coil 9 wrap 26g on my nemisis .31ohms
i like it, not super huge clouds, but the flavor is incredible

Cut those wraps to about 6 to lower the resistance..my sister has this build on her nemesis with the patriot rda .. I drilled out her cap to 1/8" to get more air which helped with bigger clouds..she obeys the three hit rule ..no more than 3 hits to let her nemesis stay cooler.. She is using a high drain 30 amp batt for this build to stay safe.

I love my 24. But now exploring 22ga. On the 24ga I do 4/5 macro coil at .28. Loving it.

I did a 4 wrap with 24g at .15 ohm on a 28mm Stillare...narrow coils didn't cover much cotton and therefore didn't produce the thick vapor compared to the parallel 6 wrap 26g at .17 ohms..these coils cover over twice the cotton at almost the same resistance producing a thick more flavorful vape... Which at least for me, is what its all about...[emoji12]

Well after about 2 weeks now I still find the 6 wrap parallel 26g chucking the vapor at .17 ohms with the 28mm Tobh {w/tabs cutoff} on my BFM..best build that works for me yet

beckdg is correct. It takes too long to heat-up and will use more battery energy. I personally like using 29-28 gauge wire. I have not had one burn up between de-gunking. The only reason I will use the 28 gauge wire is it is sturdier when installing the wick.
