I think I have everything now to start building coils.

and 200 FT prebuilt coils!

I'm getting ready to place an order for Kanthal. I can only buy two sizes, so I was thinking 28 and 32 gauges. It seems like that is what most use in the videos I have watched.

Is there a reason you did not go with 32 gauge? Just asking for opinions so I can make the best choice for the two.

 

[Clark F]

Not really, I might have purchased one kit with 32. I found some kits on ebay and bought 3 with different sizes of wire and wicking material to try out.

The gauges I use most frequently are 28 and 30, but I'm usually aiming for 1.1 to 1.4 ohms depending on the mod I'm using it on. If the jewelry tool doesn't have wire cutters then toenail clippers work great for cutting wire and the wicks. Good luck with all those toppers. You're gonna be having fun!

Thanks, someone mentioned the best ones to use but I can't find it now. I guess any small wire cutter will do the job.

That's the ohm range I looking for, is that about 7 - 8 wraps? Or more?

Depends on what your wrapping around. Here is a cool spread sheet I found digging through some threads awhile back.

The ohms will vary slightly depending on how tight you wrap but it's pretty spot on.

I recently bought the QVAPES coiler ($29.95 @ VapinArt.com). Nice tool for building consistent coils.
