help with coil building

Hi me again. I just started building coils a few days ago and I really enjoy it. Built a few good ones so far but I need to learn a few fundamentals. I'll start by saying I have a cloupor t-8 with dual 18650s and a mechanical single 18650 now what I've got so far is that I built a 15 wrap 24g coil (duel so total of 30 wraps) reading a .51 ohms. Now on works OK on the mechanical but on the t-8 it works incredibly well. Great cloud and good tasting warm vape. My question is why does it work so much better on the t-8 than the mech? I know mechs work better at lower ohms but what kind of coil build works best with the mech? Also what could I build on the t-8 to get max performance on that? I have just noticed that with the t-8 it seems beefier at a little higher ohms with a nice big coils. Am I totally off or am I on the right track? Any help or advise is much appreciated!!!!!!!

30 wraps of 24g is far too much wire for the battery to heat up. If you want to do dual coils on a mech, then use thinner wire and less wraps - like 28g or 30g. Or you could so a single coil of 24g and cut your wraps down to 10 or so.

It works better on the Cloupor because it is pushing more wattage than the mech.
