26g kanthal is more like ~ 28g s.s 316l. I have 28g tiger coil in z configuration in the stumpy. working great. I don't see a problem running 28g parallel doing the same.

We'll be needing a full report! 
Can I get you some coffee with that milk?
Freshly home from the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) trade show this weekend... so I'm a little wired and a lotta tired...
Grabbed this shot of Atlanta from my room just north of the city.
You will open up some experiment room with some 26 gauge....able to do parallels and twisted without going too low in the ohmsIt's been forever since I experimented with different coils, and such... It's been 26g NiChrome, 2mm ID, 6 or 7 wrap duals, for the longest... I need to change it up a bit. Runnin' 90/10 vg/pg unflavored, my rayon tends to not wanna keep up. I'll try 2.5mm ID, and see what's what. But, what wire? How many wraps???
good for wrapping up a claptonI'm about a week into 316L. So far so good
don't know if this was answered yet, but no....the 316L SS will have a lower resistance per inch then kanthal.
One more note on that 28 gauge SS wire....one of my favorite flavor builds (behind the Clapton) is 3 strands of 28 gauge twisted tightly (don't know the pitch..but I twist it till one end breaks off)....I have been using 430 SS for that.

Makes me wanna watch The Walking Dead.
28 gauge 430 ss wrapped on 24 gauge 304 ss (because that is the grades of SS I happened to have in those sizes)
My 2 cents on s.s build. For single coil, I've been using tiger coil. 28g 316l and .1mmx.5mm 316l ribbon wire. Easy twisting the wires and puts out great flavor.
I.have.a.tracking.code. 
Now, if USPS doesn't sent the flipping package to Tokyo... or London... or Jerusalem.
(I've had the worst luck with shipping)

You guys are horrible, horrible enablers.I haven't regretted it in the least
I got mine here
asaju305 | eBay
good pricing, nice variety and free shipping
I picked up a 3 pack 100 ft of 24, 26 and 28 gauge.
I'm going to be upset when this becomes a heating element around my property...
Tapatyped
just threw on a SS clapton as described above....
Core wire: SS304 24 gauge
Wrap wire: SS430 28 gauge
6 wraps on 2.4mm ID
Ohms: .31
It is a good thing I make my own juice
Nothing tops the flavor of a clapton IMO (other coils may, but it comes to diminishing returns at some point...coils become harder to make then the return warrants), but they really suck the juice down.

Ha! That was fresh ground aged Sumatra ( 1 scoop per cup). When you tip the Bailey's, it tends to turn that color...
well...went back to a 26 gauge parallel coil....that clapton was TOO much flavor for my current batch of juice. I'll build it again once I make a new batch with a bit lower percentage of flavoring
Guys pay attention to SS heat capacity (or don't, what do i care) but the lower resistance of SS comes at a cost. Slooooowwwww. So make sure when coiling to factor that in. Meaning just because it says 0.3 ohms doesn't mean fast if it is 5 kgs of wire[emoji38]
