Need advice for Troll RTA + Lavabox DNA 200 for temp control

[raz0r]

While I wait for my Troll rta to arrive, I had a question on my mind which I hope someone can help me out with (or other owners of the Troll rta can answer).

I've got a Lavabox dna 200 and 26AWG / 0.4mm UD Youde SS316L wire.

My question is will this wire work on the RTA for temp control?

If I can get away with my SS316L spool, what's the best way to go about running this RTA in temp control mode? Dual coil or single? How many wraps and what inner diameter of the coil will I need? Or will I need to purchase some fused clapton wire and the like?

Thanks!

The 316L you have is fine. The Troll is a dual coil deck so you'll need to wrap 2 identical coils to mount. To determine wraps and whatnot visit Stem Engine to calculate your wraps and resistance. Typical ID I use is 2.5-3 mm. Positioning the coils is a little different with the Troll as too close to the post can melt the PEEK insulator it uses. There's a good thread on building and using the Troll in the RTA section here.
