Need help with choosing wire for TC

[Isidzukuri]

Hello everyone, i'm not very new to vaping (vaping istick 20w + Achilles RDA for a year or something), but new to TC.
Ordered a Evic VTC Mini + Serpent RTA.
And i have one question about temperature control - i'm able to order Ni200 wire 0.2;0.3;0.4;0.5 mm and Ti 0.3;0.4;0.5 mm. What do you think about these wires? Is it good for my setup? My vaping style is just ordinary vaping, no extreme clouds, 0.1 ohms etc.
Thanks, and sorry for my english.
Glad to be here!

Titanium definitely, or stainless steel. I'd go for 0.4 (26 gauge) for a single coil, though many like 0.5 (24 gauge). With nickel you'd need thinner wire.

You should give Stainless Steel a try.

It's good for Temperature Control and versatile enough to be used in Power / VV / VW mode.

If you are not a high wattage, cloud chaser
I would recommend starting SS 316L AWG's 30/28/26 (gauges) as they
heat up faster, take less power and behave well with TC mods like evic VTC Mini.

Try evic VTC Mini in TC SS mode or set your own TCR betwen 100 - 105
to get a warm nice vape @ 200-220 C

At this moment I'm vaping on an evic vtc mini with an rda on top. The wire is 28 guage stainless, 1.14 ohm.

I use Ti exclusively. BUT, I also have yet to try any SS. Not that I have any issue with or misgivings with SS just that I am thoroughly satisfied with Ti all around. I'm sure I will get around to trying SS one day and probably like it.
That disclaimer aside, I use almost all 26ga Ti wrapped on a Bit giving a 2.38mm I.D. Also typically a 7/6 or 6/5 Wrap yielding right at 0.28 and 0.21 ohm Resistance respectively. I have found that that works great with all the TC APVs & on all the RTAs I have now for both fitment on Deck and Flavor/Vapor production.
I have some 28ga left from when I first started Ti TC building and plan to do a Twisted Coil someday. I abandoned 28ga as it is just a tad too small and doesn't build, perform, or Vape as good as 26ga does. The Ti Masters seem to prefer 24ga (except on STM RBA Decks) but I would have fitment issues on the RTAs I own/use with that larger Mass Coil. Sure it would Rock and I would love it but same as above, the 26ga is what I have an know, fits great in every RTA, and performs quite tastily.
I skipped Nickel in all its forms out of personal preference and from what I read about it and its vaping results. I won't go into that as not to transfer my Bias or cast shade on your Parade.

IF you are not wanting low Sub-Ohm Builds, you might have a fitment issue with Ti in any gauge as it would require many wraps to get close to the 1 Ohm mark which might not be possible in your RBA of choice (not familiar personally with the Serpent). In that case, may need to lean to SS.

Whatever you decide, Enjoy and Vape On!

Thanks everyone, so it seems that SS is the best option now.
I'll try to find some online, cause my dealer has no SS currently.
Plus ordered titanium, 0.4 and 0.5 mm.
Thanks for your help guys!
