I've been vaping for a few years but never made a coil. I am thinking of buying the big baby beast along with an ohm reader, wire,cotton and screw drivers. I like to vape between 60 and 70 watts and I like flavor over clouds. Can someone tell me which wire I should try first? Guessing I will need a build between .2 and .5?

Feel free to come over to 1 of my 2 exact same threads! Consensus has been ss 316l, and flavor is supposed to be better (I also prefer flavor over clouds) . There's actually a lot of good information on both threads about wire, wraps, wicks, etc, a lot of well thought out informational posts and links.
The site below is a Good to do "What If" builds.
Coil wrapping
Remember to set it for Dual Coil. And that when you run Dual Coils, the Total Resistance of the build is 1/2 the Resistance of the Individual Coils you use.
For a 1st Build, maybe 26ga 316L 7 Wraps on a 3mm Diameter? That would be about .25 Total Ohms for a Dual Coil setup.
I have a Smok G-Priv and it came with a Big Baby Beast tank, I bought another BBB tank because it came with a RTA deck that could be used with the tank. The package contains some atomizers and SS Clapton coils for use with the RTA.
I'm using 355 F in temp mode, in wattage 30 w is okay, 45 w is high and 60 w is to much for me, I'm using 80PG 20 VG. The SS Clapton wire that comes with it is .4 ohms and you should be able to buy that wire. The atomizer in the original tank is a .15 Nickel coil, so far it has lasted 2 months. I'll also add that at one time for the heck of it I tried a coil at what ever temp I wanted the coil lasted 1 week.
