You have 24 and 26? I usually build 5 wraps around 3mm id with 24 gauge and comes out to about .25 - .30. vape it at 60 watts and if wanna get crazy go to 80. I think 50 watts might not be too bad on that build though also, not huge clouds but nothing to scoff at.
iStick 50W is more than fine. Here; Learn a few interesting things you might not have been aware of. Also Steam-Engine is your friend.
try out 24 gauge 9 wrap on 3mm dual coil see how that is at 50 watts might not have the "mustard" to heat it up fast enough should clock in around 0.3-0.4 ohms
next I would try a 24 gauge 10 wrap on a 2mm - 0.3 ohm range
then I would do 26 gauge 8 wrap on a 2mm - 0.4 ohm range
i find smaller diameter builds work better at lower watts in my velocity
best part is velocity so easy to build and wick you can do all three of these and test them in about 30 minutes

I haven't tried the velocity yet (looks like it would be really good for vertical builds) but I usually do 9-10 wraps of 24 gauge kanthal and it does well at 50 watts and above. You can take longer drags at lower wattages, or push the button for a half second at 100-120 and get a quick warm rip. The post above with the link has me thinking I should use my 26 gauge more (basically surface area and heat flux trumps resistance on a VW device), but honestly more than 10-12 wraps is too long of a coil to fit on most of my RDAs without bending the leads in a weird way to center them.
