Some people will say 30w aint enough, but to most its plenty. Right now im running a .7 single coil at 30w and its blowing some nice clouds.

You could check out YouTube for coil tutorials as well. Plenty of vids showing how to do basic builds, macro, micro and nano coils and some more intricate twisted build and even wicking tips. It is where I learned, but I learned a lot about the safety aspect of coil building here first.

With your limit being 30 watts I would stick with 26-30 gauge kanthal. Anything much thicker and you will get long ramp up time.

amp limit is 5 amps.

nope; not good enough for a 0.5 ohm build; good enough for a 2 ohm build.

Whats the suggested battery for a .5 build and a good brand i keep seeing people sayin these are bad n these are ok

1. AW 1600mah 24A
2. Orbtronic SX22 2000mah 22A
3. LG HE2 2500mah 20A
4. Samsung 25R 2500mah 20A
5. AW 2200mah 20A (new)

I use the Samsung 25R's when I don't need a 30A battery.

BATTERIES - WHERE TO BUY

Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.

* RTD Vapor
* Illumination Supply
* Lighthound
* Orbtronics

Seems like all the batteries i find are deaining quickly around an hour or less

Its telling me samsung 25r total runtime 20 mins

 

[Susan~S]

Its telling me samsung 25r total runtime 20 mins

20 minutes = 243, 5-sec puffs.

If you want longer runtime you should consider something like the iStick 50watt mod. It has a 4400 mAh internal battery. Or look for a dual battery box mod (wired in parallel).
