Best gauge Kanthal for 2omh-ish micro coil on a EVOD/Mini PT?

[OllieDixon]

I ran out of Kanthal a few days ago. About to order some more. Been doing 32g normal coils and want to start doing micro. I will be using a 650 EVOD VV (twist) battery. I'm pretty sure I want 2ohm ish so im not draining the battery as fast. What gauge will fit and also heat up the fastest? My main goal being not having to suck (Gigity) for a super long time to get a decent hit.

Most people i see doing this are using 28g .. wouldn't this take longer to heat up then 32?

No, 28 will heat up faster because it provides less resistance than 32. Personally, when I want around 2Ω I tend to use 7 or 8 wraps of 30g. It puts me at about 1.9Ω.

 

[OllieDixon]

What do you wrap those 7 or 8 wraps on?

1/16th drill bit with 7 wraps of 30g kanthal puts me @ 1.9 ohms too. A nice, tasty vape.

Cool, Does it heat up nice and fast?

Same here. Exactly what I was going to recommend.

Yep.

I'm also a noob to micros. Shooting for 1.5 - 1.7 ohms to use on my Provari. What should I use and how many wraps? This will be for a Kayfun Lite Plus BTW.

MacTechVpr linked to this in another thread recently... great find: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/446263-micro-coils-ohms-description-12.html

Thank you so much Trayce, that is EXACTLY what I needed

Smaller wire heats up faster for a given wattage, less metal to get hot. Less surface area, though, to cook the juice.

i'm using 28Ga @ 12 wraps folded around a 5/64" drill bit. comes out to 1.8Ω. vapes great IMHO. though, i hear some aren't successful in making this build, so probably best to grab a variety of gauges and see what works best for you. i know i'm kicking myself for not grabbing 30Ga with my 32 and 28Ga when i ordered.

30 gauge is perfect for a 2 ohm micro IMO. That's what I use.

Thanks Beckdg. Good idea, I'll remember that.
