Thank you, and what kind of cotton should I use?
I'm new to the mod. I'm a wiz with a RBA but only the Zen Noble1 Jag. so I only have used my own 400x400 SS mesh wick and 32g Kanthal any help is much appreciated :)
Also anyone know where else I may find the Rampage Vape 510 Hybrid Connector?
Here you go. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dUa4ne97hu31EyyBav84dRWG_lLIvt1n_kL092SHdJE/edit
If you're using a mech I'd use 26gx9 wraps on 7'64" bit which will give you about 0.9 - 1.1Ω.
If using a VV or VW I'd go with 28g same config for about 1.5-1.7Ω.

I really enjoyed the tutorial above (I will probably do something like this when I get my Russian 91%), but there was one thing that bugged me. The coil in the illustration is 0.9 to 1.0Ω, yet the author "would vape this at between 8 and 9 watts". That means that the voltage would have to be between 2.69 and 3.00 - dangerously low for an IMR battery in a mechanical mod and typically too low for a variable voltage mod (the floor on a Provari is 2.9v). If you want to vape between 8 and 9 watts, you shouldn't aim for a low-ohm coil.

Awesome think you, and one last thing, where can I get 26 gauge Kanthal wire from?
Sterile, Organic cotton balls. You can get them at most grocery/drug stores in the medical section. Mine came from Whole Foods and cost about $3 for what seems like a couple years supply.
