I have a sigelei and I love it for my RDAs. If you are new to building I would probli not go with as big of a gauge wire as 22 though.
Seconded. I personally found 28g the best for learning on. It's not as springy as higher gauge wires, but gives more leeway in your builds than lower gauges.
yeah, 22 is too large to be starting with. Stick with 26 or 28. and you'll need an ohm meter. a good one. don't trust your mod's ability to read coils as a replacement for a good meter. they aren't always completely accurate.
Delicious is what it is.
I actually meant that as in I was gonna buy some .22 gauge. I have .26 gauge rn, and it works pretty well but im trying to find the best way to chase clouds lmao
As pointed out get a higher gauge wire.

Research and experimenting seem to be the way.
Juice , rba , watts , wraps , wicking , technique, can all play a part.
I got a 22g sleeper build 7 wraps .2 ohm hits like a train. Also got 7 wraps dual parallel 26g forget the ohms but also hits nicely. I go through more 26g than anything else its so versatile great for parallels and twistd builds.
Go into the RDA forum and look up the Hobo thread, lots of good info. It really is a mid sub ohm atty, not good at all below .4 as it gets very hot, and the space is very limited. I would`nt suggest 22, its more of a 28 or 26 atty. Its insulator is right at the coils and too much heat and you`ll melt it for sure, mine is deformed a little bit from trying to do a .2 twisted on it that I scraped for that reason.
Lastly, its not the most cleanly atty, it does leak a fair amount due to its design, so sitting on top of a regulated box may not be perfect combo.

I think you're going to really like the Sigelei 100. I don't have a Hobo RDA, but from looking at pictures of it I think it's not the best vapor production RDA that's out there. I would also suggest not going as big as 22 gauge Kanthal. You have 26 gauge and I would add 24. Twisted dual 26 gauge wire gets you to roughly the same mass and surface area per coil as the 22 gauge will, so you'll have three options with 26 and 24 as opposed to two with 26 and 22 and there's a big gap between 26 and 22.
Have fun and best of luck with it
.22 gauge?? thats really huge wire... about 5" in diameter 
something like 22 gauge would work but I think 26-28 would be better...

new to cloud chasing?? best bet, go to a decent vape shop, spend the 10$ and have them make a coil set for you..

OP seems game to wrap his own, why throw your money away? On top of that, I'd need to be pretty damn comfortable with the person rolling my coils before I put my safety in their hands. Working in/owning a vape shop does not automatically qualify one as an expert. Plenty of anecdotal evidence of that on these very forums.
