Help with coils. QQ

[Kozlovthegod]

I have an authentic Dark Horse RDA. I believe it is 22mm. I've had it for over a year now and have only used it about 1 month. Back when I got it the shop I buy from would build coils for you there. Now they say they cannot legally do that. So I switched to a tank for awhile. Now I want to switch back. Problem is when I buy pre built. They are all way too big and touch the inside of the barrel. I know almost nothing about building them. I know I want big clouds. Currently using a sigelei 200w. The minimum resistance is 0.05. Any suggestions? What is a fairly small gauge wire that would probably fit? Do i Use kanthal? Steel? 26Gauge? I pretty much only use Wattage mode

I just went with 26G Nichrome 80. Hope it's small enough.

What wattage do you normally vape at?

70 on the tank I'm using. I think the last mod I had when I used a dripper was 80W. Non adjustable.

The fine tuning is up to you but a good starting point would be dual coils with that N80 you bought, 10 wraps with a 2.5mm internal diameter. Remember that coil placement and wicking is equally as important.

Thanks. I think I have a small screwdriver that should be around 2.5mm. Will give 10 a shot but like I said the RDA is pretty small. I got 50 feet of the stuff so with a little practice I should get something workable

If the coils don't fit then adjust accordingly. Use steam-engine to model the build before you start.

Ok so wire came in today. Spent about 15 mins making 2 coils. Ended up with 2x 8 wrap Nichrome 80.Sitting at 0.39Ω @ 75W. No touching the chamber walls. I think next time I will try for 10 wraps. They came out decent for my first time. Got them pinched together decently and they heat up from the inside out and both at the same time. Only have my iPhone so the focus kind of sucks.
