Gauge is a measure of wire's cross sectional area. The bigger the number the thinner the wire.
The thinner the wire the higher the resistance and hence the lower wattage you need to fire it.
Go for 26, that would be universal for subox mini. 6 wraps

26 is pretty thick gauge wire. There is no real right or wrong answer. You need to first figure out what diameter coil you are building, how many wraps and how ohm you want before figuring out what gauge wire will achieve that.
As much as i tried to google everything .... i think alot is trial and error. I just ran out of the OCC and using my RBA now. Strangely it feels most like smoking when i used the 1.5 ohm OCC so thats what i am aiming for. So how many wraps and gauge should i be doing on my RBA?
Hey dude.. Building your own is prob the best way because you get to determine what exactly you want. The resistance of each coil produces different feels while smoking. The only possible thing you can gauge is the type of resistance and wattage it would be good for.

26 will be good rather than using 24... if too lazy to coil and just want to puff and huff than go OCC tank provided you can keep having supply.
More useful info! U guys are a great help!
Btw, if anyone of u ex smokers can tell me from your experience whats the best way to replicate analogue smoking would be great. Assuming u make your own juice and use a RBA.

But this is might not turns out exact ohms. Just a roughly estimate.

You really cant. Imo there are 2 factors to breaking a cigarette addiction. There's the mental addiction / habit of having the actual cigarette in your hand and the delivery of the nicotine. The other factors is the nicotine itself. In order to successfully cape imo you need to get over trying to replicate an analog and just accept that your getting your nicotine in a different way. I personally liked using low mg all day.

its mostly habitual for me .... i can use nicotine free juice it works for me too. I just need that throat hit that i am so used to. I have been trying everything i can but unlike our foreign counterparts, supplies isnt as readily available so i cant use alot of the recipes i find online
