30 gauge wire works so much better than 32 gauge

[jersey_emt]

I just picked up a small spool of 30 gauge Kanthal A-1 from a local B&M vape shop to use with my smok Scar rda. Previously I had used only 32 gauge wire, which I got decent results from, but nothing really great. Regardless of configuration, I pretty much always got more flavor than my iClear 16 or Evod clearomizers, but not any more vapor

The 30 gauge wire is much easier to work with and allows much more wraps while still giving a useable resistance (I've settled on around 2 ohms to use with my iTaste MVP 2.0). And I've been getting a ton more vapor, and even a bit more flavor, than I was able to get with the 32 gauge wire.

Does anybody else get much better results with 30 gauge wire than with thinner stuff? I'm thinking about picking up some 28 gauge to try, but it will probably take too many wraps to get above 1.5 ohms to comfortably fit in the small Smok Scar.

I don't use any small-diameter RDA's for precisely that reason: can't fit a large-guage coil of any use in 'em easily. I generally use 28 or 29 guage for coils; my vaping style allows for a bit of pre-heat time, and the taste / vapor production is better than with (the admittedly faster-heating) 30 or 32 guage.

I also have some 26g, but it takes too long to heat for my tastes, unless it's down in the .3 ohm range, and that results in burning juice, for me. I may try it again for a 7.4v build someday.

TLDR: bigger guage is better if feasible in the build area, but only up to a point.

I like twisted 30 gauge. I've used twisted 32 and it's ok if you wan't less mass.
