Coil confusion

[motoman883]

So i have been building coils for the last couple nights for my protanks and a small dripper with much success ,so I went and bought a Nimbus clone to try my hand at dual coils, so I make a 8 wrap out of 28 ga Kanthal wrapped around a 5/64 bit, heat it up and compress it tight ,check it and get 1.8 make the other the same hook them both up and get .6 so I do a little reading and find out they both need to be higher to get that optimal resistance range to work on my SID. I then make 2 more with 12 wraps out of 28 ga Kanthal and got up to 1.1 . My question is do I need to wrap more times ,make a bigger coil,or get some 30 or 32 ga . Another question I wanting to get some mechanical mods is it safe to run clearamizors like protanks, vivi bdc ,Iclear 30B. Thanks in advance for any imput. Bill

You could go bigger id of coil or easier grab 30g. Yes you can run clearo's on mechs, just won't be as good of a vape compaired to apv's.

30 or 32 ga would be easier to hit your desired resistance without excessive wraps or diameter. You can run clearos, PT-2 or whatever on a mech, just need to be careful with resistance, and use IMR high-drain, high amperage batteries from a reputable vendor. A vape-safe fuse is also a good option on a mech if you're not using sub-ohm coils at high amps...

Thanks guys I stopped on the way home tonight and got some 30ga ($1.oo a foot ,wont do that again) and made a couple 10 wraps and worked out greaton the SID. So the clearomizers are not a good idea on the mech mods ,I think I will order a couple of kayfuns and give the a try.

The clearos will work on a mech, but not as low ohm as other drippers, kayfun, ect...they won't deliver enough juice fast enough, so 1.5-2.0Ω usually work better.....
