My favorite is 29guage 4/5 wrap. On the AC9 it's usually around 1.2-1.4ohm. I really like the 29g for
the provari because it responds really well/fast, easy to wrap, & so flavorful.

I don't really care for 28g on the prov, but love it on my poldiac. The 28 seems to lag a little when you
have to get the coils above 1.2ohms.

Finally have my ProVari and am waiting on an AGA-T2 and an RSST. Mesh and wire will be here tomorrow. Can't wait to dig into RBA. Will be a challenge but I think it won't be so bad with all the info here.

Everything was a lot smaller than I was expecting I had to get a pair of magnifying glasses.

I will probably be buying a magnifying glass also. Eyes aren't what they used to be. I have trouble coiling a wick now. Can't wait to see the RBA. I might be in for a real treat. LOL
My eyes aren't what they used to be either. ;)
Your going to need both hands so I would suggest those reading glasses from your local Rite Aid or CVS I wanted something a little stronger than the 2.5 I found, but that was the highest they had.

Im using an AGA T+, succesfully got it down to 1 ohm with 32 gauge at 2 wraps. I dont normally vape that low though, usually a 3 wrap will give me around 1.3-1.5 ohms with 32 gauge. Its a great vape.

Don't do two wraps of 32 , your vapour production suffers greatly. I would highly suggest trying twisted 32 instead. It halves the resistance so you get double the wraps with the same ohms and twice the surface area in the process.

Finally found my sweet spot on the AGA T2. I have them dialed in with #500 SS mesh, 3/4 wrap w/30g Kanthal @ 1.3 ohms . . . Yes!

I had been playing with higher resistance coils and then realized that I like the vape with my lower initial set-up. I have had quite a bit of fun playing with these guys. This is definitely a hobby, which I am going to enjoy. When its time to change one of the coils out, I am going to try using SS wire rope.

A smoktech rsst and 2 IGO-Ls should be here, soon. Cannot not wait for those to show up and tinker some more.

What dimensions did you use on the #500 SS mesh?

I used a 1-1/2 x 3" piece. I rolled it up as tight, as I could. There is just the tiniest hole, which is visible in the center.

I pre-oxidized it prior to rolling and hit it with a torch again after rolling it.
