Most of your questions can be answered by using:
The search function in upper right hand corner of this post. Could type something in like "DIY calculators".
Can google "vape: SmokTech XPro M80 Plus ".
Hi and welcome. Lots of info here. I'll be the first to start nagging. LOL. Make sure you only buy high quality (samsung, sony, or LG) high drain batteries. And only use chargers that come with and are made for your device (also called PVD or Mod) or a high quality charger. Nitecore chargers are good, I use that one. Others are also good, but I can't name them, since I use Nitecore. (oddly.. nitecore charger = good, nitecore batteries = not so good)
I mention this right off, since vaping is about harm reduction. Batteries are the #1 best way to reduce risks. Every video you see about an exploded battery, was a cheap battery. God knows, I am none to gentle in my comments on those news casts either. LOL. I'm not shy about calling a spade a spade.

Thank you! And I appreciate the warnings (I don't think of it as "nagging")and info

LMAO if you read though these forums and see how many times we mention that... it's nagging. But also very true.
Main thing, if you have questions, just ask. No matter if you think they are silly or not. We would rather answer the same silly questions 100 times, than have someone not ask and have an "incident" or give up and go back to smoking.
I know what you mean, I feel the same way about this place. I wish we were all local, it'd be great to meet up in person with these folks.
Cheers,
JD
I'm so happy you guys don't mind answering questions that have probably been asked thousands of times!

I tend to look at it like this.. what was asked 3 months ago, might have a different answer than the same question asked yesterday. Things change. And some people might not know what to actually ask to find the answer in the archives.
Bad cells are worse than smoking, they give NO warning.
Ask a question, or whenever you are ready..
Ok, here it goes. I want to try to build my own coils. Is 8 wraps a good starting place?

No it is not. Resistance is dependent on the length & girth of the wire.
Steam Engine is a very cool place to learn about coil building..
It really depends on the wire you may want to go with. If you are using a super thick wire, 8 wraps will have a different resistance then 8 wraps of a super thin wire. I think the first thing to figure out is what wattage you might be vaping. If you think you might be vaping at 20 watts, then a 28 or 26g wire is appropriate, from there you find a resistance that accompanies or goes best with your mod and tank and from there make your wraps to get to that resistance. So before the number of wraps, it's good to know your devices and perhaps your wattage. For me I liked a particular tank and bought it, from reading and asking, I knew that tank worked best around 20 watts, so I bought 28 and 26g wires. I also found out that that particular tank worked best at an average of 1 ohm resistance. So that's what I tried first and tweaked everything from there

Great info! I'm using 26g kanthal on a kayfun v5. I'm brand new to coil building so I really appreciate the details!
