Thicker wire also heats up over a larger surface area.
The coils i made are 28 swg, about 10 turns, 1.9 ohms - can pump a lot into the coil without burning 6.0v (nearly 19W)

See if there is any printing on the battery wrapper (under the white label). If so, what does it say?
Ya my tugboat clone won't read when on ohm meter. Or any of my boxes but when I put a peice of kanthal under the tank and them on the ohm reader it reads but i think I'm gonna just go buy a better rda or whatever and what do u guys pay for a 15ml bottle of juice I pay about 14 $ at the shop by me does that sound alright ? I was gonna try order online
Under the white label it says

Try Mt. Baker Vapor online. Typically around $7.99 for any 30ml and that's with 2 extra Flavor Shots. Great Juice. Be willing to bet the Farm the local Shop's In-House Juice can't hold a candle to anything from Baker. Use Coupon Code "vaporfrombaker" at checkout for 10% off everytime as well. The USPS 1st Class Shipping is usually around $5 for 3 bottles. Go to: E Cigarette | Buy Electronic Cigarettes Online | E Juice - Mt Baker Vapor
Made fresh to order, quick to ship, never had a nasty or unsatisfying Juice yet from there. Prices are among the best you'll find even compared to local shop-made swill or Chinese-Chum.
Much better deal all around.
If looking for a better quality Clone RDA (prefer Infinite Brand Clones) or bite the Bullet and get a real Authentic that won't break the Bank yet completely satisfy and give the longevity you need, go to RBA Vapor Store at RBA Vapor Store - Rebuildable Atomizers Mechanical Mods & See The New 13 Heavens 9 Hells RDA Great Selection & Service as well and never a Bad Device from them.
The Owner is an avid Vaper himself and has a lot of knowledge and always willing to give advice and assist in any way he can.
Hope those help and you find the right Combo Rig to make your Vape Experience all it should be and you want it to be. All the best to ya!

Great 20A battery. As I said in my post earlier in this thread, I wouldn't go below 0.4Ω with this battery.
Thank you hitcat so much appreciate everyone help , and susan like I said even when it's fully charged it feels like it isn't hitting like it should I'm thinking it's my rda it takes a minute to heat up and doesn't really pump much smoke as other mechs I seen do and I can't try my rda on my boxes because it won't connect like I said befor so idk if I'm looking for more then I can get or that something isn't connecting right , doesn't it matter what way u put batterie inside the mech ?
And do any hArdware stores sell kanthal ? My vape shop only sells 1 foot for 1$ lol I ordered 100ft for 7$ off amazon but won't be here for a little and wanna get more cuz Ik 1 ft for 1$ is kinda a rip off
There is so much that is so wrong with this thread. 
This is the reason why beginners should never start out with a mechanical mod and a rebuildable juice device. This is advanced equipment requiring knowledge BEFORE it is used. This situation is a trainwreck waiting to happen.
- You must understand the fundamentals of Ohm's Law before you begin wrapping/building coils.
- You must be able to measure the coil resistance with either an Ohm reader or a regulated mod before you actually fire it on a mechanical mod.
- You must know what battery you are using. You must know its specifications ---> amp limit (continuous discharge rate).
- You must never build coils lower in ohm than the battery can handle. This is where Ohm's Law comes into play.

Not trying to insult your intelligence, but its obvious that you jumped into this way over your head without reading up on it first. This is not rocket science, but its not fun and games either. This can be dangerous stuff if you don't know what you are doing. Glad you came here to ask questions.

No your right I don't kno everything but didn't really kno where to look for info or help these people been helping a lot and I'm reading the links u posted but could it be my rba not connecting properly being why I feel it is hitting weak ? I'm gonna read and learn befor I buy any more mechs was just anxious to get one lol I'm sure u understand that part lol
Until we know what the resistance measurement of your coil is, there's no way to know what's going on. That's fundamental.
Your two regulated mods should have an ohm reader function to measure the coil resistance.
If you are getting any vapor at all, the connection between your battery and RDA is probably ok. There's something else going on and we need more info to figure it all out.

Yes. An ohm reader tells you the resistance (in ohms) of your build.
The mere "presence" of Vapor does not necessarily equate to proper/adequate connection and/or transference of Power from Mod to RDA/Atty etc.
Actually the first thing I check when experiencing less than normal or expected Vapor/Flavor is the Connection and associated Components thereof between Mod and RDA (unless I know the Batteries are probably nearing the end of their normal discharge Cycle).
However agree that obviously there is something "No Bueno" about the Situation which has multiple possible Causes.
Also HIGHLY agree that Building, Mods (especially UnReg & Unprotected), and the aptly named "Advanced" Vaping Tools do require some extensive Research & Education prior to attempting.
And even then, prudent Safety Procedures and Checks every time regardless of experience.
Good News is,,, Sparkler is in an awesome Venue to gain all the above and end up Vaping successfully and as "advanced" as one could ever desire.

I'm going home now when I get home I will throw my rda on ohm meter and let u kno the resistance and I can't put my rda on my box mods because it won't work it says no atomizer , something isn't right with it because even on my ohm reader I have to put a peice of kanthal under my rda for it to connect
Does your rda have an adjustable positive pin? If so, bring it out a little bit it might not be making a good connection.
Adjusting center pin (positive) on RDA
The gold colored center pin can usually be adjusted with a micro screwdriver or metal nail file.

For the sake of your safety as well as the sake of the industry I wish you'd throw that mech away. You don't need a mech to create big clouds. And you have no business using one because you don't have any vaping knowledge. That's not a insult because we all started that way but its a fact based on this whole thread. It's as safe as a gun. In a experienced had completely safe but in inexperienced hand it's a disaster waiting to happen. If anything bad happens please tell the news you were told to only use the regulated mods until you learn
I wouldn't throw it away.. But put it in a drawer and use one of your regulated devices for a while and then go back to it later.
