So I recently bought the eleaf istick TC100w box mod. It has 2 batteries (EACH battery is 2500mAh with 20A continuous). I know there are websites like steam engine to tell me how many wraps I need but I am a newbie. I tried watching YouTube videos and know how to make it but am stuck on the basics. I want to have a dual coil build and it will be on a velocity deck. What gauge kanthal wires will I need? What is the lowest resistance I can go to (any recommended sweet spots)? And how many wraps for each coil? Thanks!

P.S: I am aware of this website (Coil wrapping) I don't know how it would apply for the clapton build since there are two different gauge wires and the website doesn't have that option.

On a regulated device, inner wire gauge or ohms of your claptons doesn't really make a difference since you can adjust your power. Outter wrap wire however, needs to be at least 34 gauge or thinner to have a enjoyable vape. Because anything thicker than that, will have a significant ramp up time. My go to build for regulated is fused clapton 26g x 26 6 wraps around a 3mm.

Honestly if your could chasing, I would switch to nichrome, it heats up faster and has less resistance then kanthal, you need any help with anything text me or call 570-994-9677 I'll help you with anything you need
