I haven't received mine yet, but my plan is larger diameter coils with more wraps. Since you have the power to drive a larger mass of wire, why not max out surface area? In theory this seems to be a good way to do it. I'm a mech vaper now, so maybe someone with high-powered vv/vw experience will jump in to agree or disagree.
 
That's me as well I'm new to vw devices but been using mechs for awhile now. I have tried so many builds and only had it three days. No matter what I build seem to always have one coil that gets red in middle when all wicked and juiced. I'm having worst luck when making longer coils (more wraps) right now have a 7 wrap 24g at .33 on 2.4mm screw driver seems to be working good... so far..... fingers crossed lol

I have the ipv2 and tried out a parallel 26g 10 wrap around a 1/8" bit. Came to 0.7 ohms and at about 30 watts it's a beast. Tons of flavor and vapor of the little devil. Flavor really impressed me since it's in my Mephisto which I didn't really have great flavor in before. I like a warm vape and between 30-35 watts really delivers with this build.

Ive been using mechs for about a year now but just picked this thing up. Using my go to tobh with dremel'd air holes and built a 8 wrap 20ga just for fun. Even with both holes open it still is a nice warm vape with decent flavor and good vapor (not very dense imo) at 75watts. It ohmed out at 0.25 . Its a big coil but heats up fast. Want to build a dual coil at 0.5 next. Good thread, keep it up.

As Mikey6 posted here, I to have the ipv2, and also stated above, you got the power to push relatively larger resistance coils with more surface area. Even at the .3 to .7ish ohm range, even with a wide deck like a tobh is going to give a very warm vape at 50+ watts, more surface area also means more flavor and vapor coming off the coil. So in essence that .25 24awg or your all day driver on a mech macro coil can be upped to a half more or double the resistance and give you the same quality vape. As with all rebuildables it is in the topper not so much the power of the base device, its in the coil and air flow of your atomizer, just with a high powered high wattage device gives you more to adjust the output to your desired vape with a significantly safer amp draw "By theory" as these higher powered devices are using volts more than amps to deliver power to the coil.

try builds around 1 - 1.5 ohms. I get the most intense vape on my iPV2 at 1.5 ohms and max watts max volts. With regulated its not about low ohms but high surface area. dual coils 10 wraps 28ga on a #1 screwdriver

Use your vaping calculator and put the max output wattage and voltage in it to figure out the optimal target resistance

I reference the iPV2 because my T8 has not come in the mail yet
