My first (successful) rda coil build. Pretty stoked.

Work on your nuance. That deck is built for dual coils, so start working on your positioning and overall mass and get to tweaking. With heavy wire like that, your ramp up and down time will be extended and that alone can mean a lot of lost juice. But for now, using what you've got, you can learn a lot about balancing flavour and clouds by playing with airflow positioning (and amount, if you have AFC), and your wicking technique. Those things count for more together than the coil itself.

So tomorrow my tools come in from Amazon.

Got a cheap kit there are a few great options some with and some without ohmeters.
I will be going nuts on the building at the point maybe even roll into town get some new wire and a higher vg juice.

You should try building some fused claptons, I only started building 2 months ago and picked it up a while back. Pretty easy to build after your first time through and you wont regret the flavor they hold.
I'm definitely going to get into that. I'm thinking currently about a single coil possibly diagonally with the wick coming around the back to see if I can avoid filling so often.

@LikelySplash710 looking good so far. I love my sig s (i have 4) and you are right the air intake holes are small. I've drilled a couple to increase the airflow but def grab some higher guage wire as you are working against the available airflow with that 22g. In my experience, I have learned to match build to airflow. Simple, naked 27g SS316 is my go to for those attys. Enjoy yourself and learn all you can. Vape On!

Where should my air holes be lined up? Always on the coils? Should I drill them out? What are attys?

If it's as tight a draw as it sounds, maybe grab 27/28ga as mentioned while you're at it. Wire is cheap and you'll really appreciate the quick ramp up/down in a tightly ventilated atty.
Yeah I feel that. Just wrapped 5 times gonna give it a go maybe more airflow

If you have cordless (or corded) drill and a paper clip, you can make twisted wire. On my TFV4's RBA I use twisted 26g, single coil, and it's about .6 ohms. It hits 40 watts no problem. If you did dual coil 24g twisted, you could easily hit 70+ watts in an RDA.
