Getting a 20700 squonk soon never built for a mech will this build work?

Most my Claptons are .2 .3s

Will be using ijoy20700s 5 post

But what's in my dead rabbit are kanthal tiger coils at .237

Doing the math it's 18 amps so I should be good?

Fire those coils at 58 watts on your regulated mod and that will give you an idea how they will perform on your mech mod.

So won't be a vape i like then more likely what gauge of round wire should I get what material?

I like 26 awg stainless steel. it's pretty easy to work with, quick ramp up and cool down. for single coils, you could get some 24 awg SS. or if you want to play around with higher ohms, I use a lot of 29 gauge kanthal.

it's pretty cheap, so I'd get a couple different sizes and types of wires in 100ft spools.

You don't know what you are going to like, honestly, until you try it. Mechs are different. Don't assume you won't like it, you certainly might. SS or Kanthal (probably kanthal would be my recommendation, due to the fact that SS does change slightly in resistance once heated, usually not by a LOT, but there's no reason not to use Kanthal since you don't need temp control on a mech.

As far as a build, I did a quick search on gauge/resistance/etc and found this, thought it might be somewhat helpful: Different Kanthal Wire Sizes, What does Wire Sizes Mean?

I wanna use dual for my rabbit unless there's a sick single coil build wouldn't ohms rising with 316l be a good thing in terms of ohms

Not if you want to keep it steady as you are getting to know how your mech vapes. Sorry to be so pesty about it, but you probably want to find out what a 0.5 build is like without things like resistance changes muddying the waters, the changes that will occur will be with your battery as it drains and you want to get a feel for THAT, I'd think, hence the "easy simple build" thing....

Just my thoughts as always.

Using round26 gauge getting to.5 with dual ssl seems like u need alot of wraos?

with SS, yes. kanthal would be about 7 wraps around a 3 mm rod.

I don't like kanthal to much but all my premades here locally are that I have some 316l Claptons in my reload I love
