Ok my mod does the resistance by itself so I think I should want around .25 or .35 ohms for a single coil? Since it’s a single coil build.

As long as you are running a regulated mod, that would be personal preference. What wattage do you typically run?
Would they sell this type of wire at hardware stores too?
You might find it at a LARGE hardware store... At least the SS316L. Not likely to find Kanthal or NiChrome80.

No, I have not seen it in a hardware store. They should carry it at your local vape shop, though it tends to be a bit more expensive depending on the shop.
At that wattage, I would aim for .25ish range. You should start low and work your way up, taking a few draws in between raising the wattage (5 watt increments works well, I would start at 25-30w just so you can find your sweet spot for the new coils).
I’m sorry if this is wrong by is ss316L stainless Steel?
Yes. A specific grade of Stainless steel... The most common used in vaping.

Ok. I heard it lasts pretty long so I’ll get that and a kit for it on amazon. I have one last question. What is https://www.amazon.com/TOBECO-DIY-C...coil+maker&dpPl=1&dpID=41yvnittoZL&ref=plSrch used for.
So what do you recommend. How many wraps for a 24 gauge wire. And .25 -.35 ohms. Stainless Steel
Visit steam-engine.org. It will provide you with all that info.

Ok. Thank you for all of your help. I’m very new and you really really helped me with everything.
You wrap your wire around it to get the desired inner diameter of the coil. Round shaft screw drivers work too, but that tool you linked gives you multiple options on one tool.
And the diameters really matter that much because I’ve seen these kits with things that come with 3.
It can effect the ohms of a coil, and some atomizers work better with certain sizes. For example, my Gas Mods GR1 works very well with 2.5mm coils because they fit perfectly between the airflow so there is a proper cooling effect to keep it from overheating and start spitting hot juice into your mouth. But in my Vapers Cloud VCST, 2.5mm is too small and do not heat up enough to give good vape quality, so it needs 3mm or larger inner diameter coils.
It is all trial and error and according to your own taste. Some dont like hot vapor, and some love it, so where i think 2.5mm is too small for something, another may love it. It sounds complicated, but it isn't that hard to understand when you start working with it.
Oh ok. Perfect thank you I will definitely do a lot of trial and error
I'd recommend a coilmaster kit or at least a jig if you want wrap your own wire. Also you really need to devote some time to steam-engine.org, especially if you want more exotic builds. The benefits of using one wire is that it will require less wattage to heat up than an exotic build and it's a lot easier to "find your sweet spot" as it were. There's nothing WRONG with exotic builds or wire, but then you'd also need to use the heat flux part of steam-engine.org as you're also looking at TOTAL mass in a build and that can affect things a fair amount.
I started with my own coils and simple round builds. Experiments were easier because I was only dealing with ONE factor. I also use single coil RTAs (but I am a MTL vaper) and so it's a lot easier than trying to wrap parallel wires that are identical and then mounting two and etc. (it will also halve your resistance, while increasing wire mass, which may ULTIMATELY wind up being something you want, but I would experiment with single round wires if it were me.
Best of luck, and yes there is no single "right" build for any RTA, in fact it's very individual to the person. Some decks really DEMAND a smaller diameter wire, and it's something you also need to calculate out in steam-engine, as diameter of the wire also plays a role as far as targeting resistance. Different build decks often work better with different diameter wires, not to mention coil placement, wicking technique.
I'm afraid there is a lot to learn, but I'm sure you can do it.
