Does anybody know offhand what gauge wire comes with the Aqua v2 by tobeco and the orchid v3 by tobeco

I just got these in the mail yesterday and I bought 26g kanthol I made my first coil in the Aqua with but was wondering what gauge the wire that came with these attys is

Would like to try them since I'm running single coil 1ohm at the moment of like to try a dual coil .5 ohm in the orchid but no idea how many wraps to do since I don't know the specs to calculate

This is where a coil modeling calculator like Steam Engine comes in handy. Click the sigline hyperlink below to access the program and user guide. With it, you will learn that....

On a 2.5mm mandrel, with 6mm net leg length per coil (3mm legs), a 88.8mm length of 26 gauge Kanthal A-1 (.405mm dia.) produces and 8- 8/7 wrap coil with a 1.0Ω+/- resistance.
The "net resistance" (one coils resistance divided by the number of coils in parallel) is 0.5Ω.

The build above will, at 45 watts, produce a slightly warm "heat flux" (coil radiant temperature) value of 199 mW/mm², and at 55 watts a moderately warm 243 mW/mm².

Easy ain't it?

It is easy but the 26g was easy and those were already done and I hit both my marks spot on I Did a dual coil 1 ohm build on the Aqua that came out at 1.06 ohms. And a .5 ohm build on the orchid that came out at .50 exactly on my first coils ever made

My question is about the wire that comes with those 2 attys in the little package they send with each one

Screwdriver o-rings wick wire etc.... But what gauge is the wire they come with ?

Well if you installed the coils in an atty........ You could measure the ohms. If were to even estimate any of the following specs, coil id, # of wraps, gauge. You could use that data to get a real good idea of wire gauge using the Steamengine. That wire could be Kanthal or Nichrome so model the coil both ways
