I have 28 gauge kanthol wire, organic cotton, an OMEGA rebuildable dripping atty, and an APV V3 mod with a 30amp continuous limit 18650 battery

Can anyone please help me out in terms of how the "BEST" way to rebuild this would be?

I need to know how many loops to do, what diameter tool to loop the wire around, best wicking setup for airflow, etc. I haven't found a video that would best suit my setup, most people have mods that can go subohm, but i was told I have to stay at 1.5ohm's for my mod and stuff.

Just looking for some useful video to help me rebuild this and get the most out of my wick and coil design for this Omega tank :D

any help would be appreciated

The lowest you can go on your mod is 1.2 ohm. I'm a huge fan of microcoils and I use a 1.5 mm bit to wrap them.

I would build a single coil wrapped around a 1.5-2.0 mm bit of some sort. Use 7 or 8 wraps of the 28 gauge. It should come out to around 1.3-1.5 ohms. Try to get the wraps to touch one another. Pull off a strand of cotton and roll the end into a point. Then put it through one end of the coil and pull it through. Try to make sure the cotton is tight within the coil.

I did that. I used to be doing the wick setup the way a guy at the vape shop I go to showed me. He didn't exactly tell me of the quirks of the omega and how to optimize airflow.

What I did just now to try , was the coil method you mentioned and got it to 1.3 Ohms. Additionally , I used a new procedure for how to setup the wick , like in this video :

Is that a good idea for single coil ? Seems like solid logic for airflow, also , I pushed the coils down to around the height of the air holes
