Got a myself a zenesis mini and was wondering how many wraps you guys do and what guage of wire you use. Currently using a 400 ss mesh. Thanks in advance.

32 gauge with 4 wraps gets me at 1.2 ohms and 5 wraps about 1.5-1.7. You really need to get an ohm meter so you can check your coils.

28g 5/6 wraps will get you 0.7-0.9 ohms if your after slr. 30g 4/5 1.0-1.2 ohms. Anything higher will get you 1.5 and above, unless you make 2/3 wraps to get 1.0-1.2 ohms. I wouldn't recommend it since your using a mechanical, 32g at 1.0 ohms heats up the coils faster since they are thinner. I get lots of hotspots from 32g, unless I make it 1.5 or higher.

On mechanicals, volts decrease after a while and and you'll get cooler vape with higher ohms like 1.5 ohms. I myself used to like a cooler vape, but after making a good coil with 28g 0.8 ohms. I'm actually enjoying it. I get allot more vapor and flavor from it. But then again. I use mostly 18650's and they hold their volt loads longer than 18350's.

On my Macaveli 350 I use 32g twisted with a 3/4 wrap at 1.1 ohms, my AGA-S 32g 2/3 wrap at 0.9 ohms, and my IGO-L with 32g twisted 2/3 wrap at 0.8 ohms. I currently only have 32g kanthal, which is why it's twisted on some of my setups. You're going to need a multimeter to see where you like your resistance. With lower resistance you get a warmer vape, more flavor, and bigger clouds of vapor. I tried a 0.6 ohm coil and thought it was too warm for me. Today I tried a 0.3 ohm dual coil setup on a Nimbus dripper, that was way too much...huge clouds though.
