Thought this guys video could help you out a little bit. Wire difference, reason to use what, etc.
I cannot build anything

gel drops .... You need to have a good initial plan of action, and then stick with it.
Do yourself a favor and get some Kanthal 28 AWG wire. Then find a 7/64" drill bit
Make a coil using 8 full wraps around the smooth end of this drill bit
Once installed, this coil will give you about 1.6 ohms of resistance
Start by feeding it 3.9v ... That will equal 9.5 watts of power (when using a 1.6 ohm coil)
That should really work well for you ... You can 'tweek' it a little bit later as you desire

I'm working with the Patriot! I do not have 28 gauge.26 and 30 is what I am working with.going to try dual Coil parallel build! btw the link that keeferes posted thank you so much I have watched a lot of videos but those and that guy are very good! he makes it look so easy.
The first one is how many coils I messed up yesterday trying to get a 1.1 ohm duel coil. The second is what I finally ended up with after a while. The point is that sometimes it takes a while to get things right. I personally think what I settled on is still pretty ugly, but it works pretty good for now. It's trickier then it looks to get one coil perfect, let alone two to operate identical.
that's awesome keeferes! I started on the Patriot yesterday and got frustrated and stopped.

that's what you call a mess,no need to move it I will be back after it today...
I wouldn't take this as too bad news, if you want the ultimate in taste and vapor just focus on drippers. The brass monkey and the magma are suitable to be built by anyone, just buy premade coilds.KGD pad and you skipped the RBA tanks stage which I never could get consistent builds for nets. The cotton cogs up so fast you might as wellll just use a dripper 'cause you have to tear open the tanks land oose a bunch of juice, make a mess frequently. RBA tanks just aren't worth the hasssel for me.
I use a VTR with light fruit juices for an ADV, then crack open the drippers with strong nets in the evening. With premade coils its easy to rebuild a bass monkey drippper in less than 5 minutes. No big mess, no what happened to all that juice, no worrying if this build is a dud. Dripers are where its at while your at home and on the go there are some excellent clearomizers for the provari that can last 4+ hours on a single purple efest 3100 mah battery.

I get your point regal,I've got a aerotank mega,and a aspire nautilus along with others that I love.I'm just doing this kinda as a hobby,the rba's are a challenge for me and I'm not a quitter,probably just hard headed!
those are my newest mods the one on the left is a 50 watt mod the one on the right is a 30..more than enough in my opinion just need to figure out what to put on top of them..a build of my own!
magma is not wanting to cooperate today,make a build put it on the ohms meter showing up a 1. I think I'm screwing down too much on the post!
When an ohm meter registers just a 1 in the far left position, this means you have a short. Make sure that you have the leads tightened down, the coil is off the deck and possibly squeeze your coils together more if you are making a micro coil.
jaxgator yes I new that.. The .1 let me know that I was not getting voltage! I do realize what I have to do however doing correctly is a different story that's my challenge.

the rap is an issue it takes practice,putting them through the post almost takes a magnifying glass for me to see!
Keep at it. You'll get it. You might be better served though, just learning for one. Instead of jumping around trying to build for multiple devices, maybe just stick with one of them. Once you get that down, then move into other ones. As you know, each one is a little different, but the principals are the same.
For example, I can build the same coil for an APO, Kayfun, and a Kanger head. All of them can be built identical, however, all have different reading do to placement, configuration, and leg length. The kanger heads are always higher because the leg length is the longest. The Kayfun is then a bit lower because the legs are a touch shorter. Then with the APO it's again just a touch off due to leg length depending on how I place it, or can be halved by utilizing dual coils.
Even though I built all identical coils, same wraps, same ID, same awg wire, variance will happen across devices. Because of these subtle variances, it can become frustrating getting things to work how you want.

I'm yet to figure out what the leg length means,coil to post? how in the world would you figure that out.
Thats exactly what it means. Measured from the center of the coil to the point it touches the connection.
