Right. I use 30AWG in my Diver V1/2, because 28 is just too hard to fit with enough wraps to keep the resistance high enough. And I'm well aware of the amp limitation of the BB, but even 5.5V and 3A is 16.5W theoretically. I'm sure no one would run a Protank/ARO head at that wattage, which is why I was asking.
I'm generally around 12-ish watts with a Kayfun.
There is substantially more room in these heads than inside the Diver's ceramic cup. My most common horizontal build is a 30ga 12 wrap micro-coil. You can also run a vertical build, that works very, very well, but is trickier to get right. There is no need for NR legs with a micro coil, and really no need with a spaced coil provided you're careful with dry burns and have snipped off the very top of the connection gasket.
Vaping that 12 wrapper at 5.5v and blowing clouds on my screen. So right at 14 watts here.
Stock coils one would run at lower wattages FWIW.
I make my coils such that when I want to clean them, I just pull out the cotton, rinse, and dry burn the naked coil. Because the connection gasket has been snipped off at the top, the gasket is slightly recessed below the cup and is protected by distance and a drop or so of juice (water when cleaning) that naturally collects in the space above the gasket. I've been using the same gaskets for months.
Just a matter of sliding a new cotton wick into the cleaned coil. Of course this can be done with the factory coil if one is not in the mood to make a new coil.
