So I have a lemo e leaf tank that I got I little while back, I used it for a whIle and decided j was going to change the coil( like a dumbass...) and thfew it away and can not figure out how it was set up and I've been trying to do research but it's pretty confusing as I'm really new. . So I went and bought 26 gauge wire, now the question is how many wraps... I don't understand this ohm thing and how to tell how low I can go with my battery please help. I just want to blow decent clouds without charging my battery every 5 min.
Coil help...

Also my battery is a efest I'm r15 3.7 v 2800 mah. 35amp ( although I've been reading alot and people say it's more like 20)
sounds like you don't know about this

What kind of 26g wire did you buy? Kanthal, Nichrome, Nickel, Stainless Steel, or Titanium? I'm going to assume You bought Kanthal, unless you're running temperature control.
The amount of wraps depends on what your target Ω is and the internal diameter of the coil you are wrapping.
Use steam engine^ @pufZeppelin posted a link to it. It's a resistance calculator, you can plug in what you want your resistance to be and the size of the internal diameter and gauge, and it will tell you how many wraps are needed.

what do you call charging constantly???? 2 hours, 4 hours 8hours or 12?
Being you got 26wire, I would do say 6 to 8 wraps singlecoil on a 2.5mm mandrel. Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators You should get 2 to 8 hours between charges, depending on how often you hit the vape.

Just some basic rules of thumb.. and I am going to do a little assuming here.. So... 26 gauge is my favorite wrap for most mid sub ohm set ups .. especially if dual coils are involved. I like to use 22 gauge for a single coil build in my Mad Hatter mini... but back to YOUR situation. If I do a coil wrap of 6 wraps around a 3 mm post... that will put me close to 1.0 Ohms on my meter... so a DUAL coil build.. two seperate 26 ga 6 wraps will give me right around o.5 ohms which puts me into the sub ohm range. If my old guy mind remember correctly... the lower the gauge the thicker the wire.. the thicker the wire the lower the resistance as current can run thru it easier.. so the same 6 wrap of 22 ga wire on a single coil comes in around 0.4 ohms so a dual coil set up puts me at close to 0.1 which is pretty intense... as the thicker wire takes longer to heat up.. but gets way HOTTER.. and so you have to watch your juice level as you can get a Godzilla dry hit in a blink of an eye. A thinner ga wire... like 26 ga has a higher resistance.. but heats up faster because it is thinner... ME personally.. I like a blend of more flavor with with clouds and my dual coil set ups of 26 gauge at six wraps give me a nice flavor put I can still impress the ladies at the bingo club with the clouds. ALSO.. spend the 10 bucks and order a nice SMOK meter to check your ohms on your builds so you do get a visit from Smokey the Bear.
Happy Vaping

On what kind of device?
The true continuous discharge rate for this battery cell is probably 20A and on a mechanical mod it could be used to power a 0.21 ohm coil. This would draw 20A-15.2A while the battery discharges from 4.2V to 3.2V. But I would advise to strongly consider the possibility of your ohm-meter being off a little (they usually are!) and/or the resistance later decreasing (due to screwing on the atomizer harder, cleaner contact pins, coils touching each other etc.) so as a safeguard I would keep the resistance at no lower than 0.3 ohm. It could be too hot anyway, so why not use, say, 0.5 ohm?
On a regulated device feel free to use any resistance it supports. I'm assuming 90% mod efficiency -- in that case do not exceed 57W as this would make the current rise over 20A when battery voltage drops to 3.2V.
I HOPE I did the math right...
