For testing flavors there is no reason to use Royal wire. It's expensive wire men't for cloud chasing. Go buy some cheap kanthal it will get the job done and for what you pay for 6ft royal wire you can get 50ft of A1 kanthal.

Also Tugboat RDAs are not ment to be run as single coil RDAs. I am currently using one and have 2 28g micro coils wrapped 5 times around a 3/64 drill bit. Gives nice clouds and taste. I think it's around .4 ohms if you use Royal wire it will be below .1 which I don't recommend since this is your first mech and is not authentic.

Also like everyone else has said you need to get a Sony VTC4. You do not want your battery to vent it could be a very painful situation for you.

Good luck in the future with making your juices and be safe vaping :)

Thanks Susan, you beat me to pointing out the EFest 35A false advertising. :)
Sony batteries are discontinued. If you can still find them, better stock up. Your next best bet would be the AW 1600mah 25A battery, or a good 30A+ 18650 battery. I hear Samsung, LG, and several smaller manufacturer make them. I may be wrong here, I have a box of Sony VTC4's and am not in the market for batteries right now, and as a result, haven't done much research either.
A Sony VTC4 should be at the 30A limit at 0.14 ohms if you're calculating with V=4.2 (max voltage) vs V=3.7 (nominal voltage). There is no reason to build that low unless all you're doing is blowing massive clouds, being crazy and dumb like me (my coils are at 0.14 ohms :evil:). At that point, this is handy.

Good luck and vape safe! No one here wants you to unknowingly build pipe bombs.
