Parallel 28 g 5 wrap 2mm ID clocking in at 0.5 ohm. Organic cotton wick. Nothing too crazy, but it's working for me. Probably the prettiest build I've ever done too.
0.06 Ω ?
That's 228.16 Watts and 61.66 Amps of current.
I only know one battery that can safely handle that: LiFePo battery, like A123 ANR26650M1A 3.2V 2300mAh 70A
Hey there folks, well I went a bit crazy on the weekend and decided to try my hand at this macro thing. so here we have my first time building with 20ga Kanthal (damn this stuff is stiff!)
We have 4mm diameter, Kanthal A1 20g (0.8mm) 7/8 wraps, 0.2ohms and wicked with more cotton than I've put in my last 4 micro coils in each coil. This is in a 28.5mm Plume Veil on my copper Hades. Takes a little time to heat up (so much wire!) but once it does it blows plumes!
First couple of pictures are pre fire and tweak
Firing
Wicking
What does ECF think?

Very nice 
if its a little slow to fire up you could always turn them into non-contact coils ...but would take you to 0.18Ω im sure your battery wouldnt mind

I'm thinking next time I redo this build, I'll either do it in the 20ga with only 5 wraps (which should get me around 1.5 ohm ish) or do 5 wraps with 22ga which will be closer to the 0.2ohm that I like to vape at
That being said, I used to love 0.8ohm builds and haven't done one of those in a while... so many decisions and builds to be made!

if it takes too long to cherry up, ditch it. Ya don't want to be that guy holding a mod to his lips for ten seconds in public before exhaling.... Kinda sends the wrong message...
Always had wicking problems with my kayfun no matter what I tried, untill today when I decided to try my favorite genesis setup on my kayfun.
Ekowool wrapped stainless steel wire rope. Works perfect. Been chain vaping it all day trying to get even a hint of dry burn, just wouldn't happen.

i've just done a 2x 24g twisted.. is about the same as 20g.. 4wrap on 3/32nd with about 2 or 3mm gap's.... single coil in 26650 Asmodus...0.2Ω
Fires up straight away and tastes pretty darn good
NikZak you could whip they wicks out quick enough and either pull on the opposing legs to open they coils or put something under the coils to keep them where they are and use a flat screwdriver or similar to prize em open, reinstall the same wicks
is up to you ofcourse but if you do, dont forget to pull the battery out first

Slippy_Eel, do you think spacing the coils out will make a difference to how it heats up?
the SONY is 50a continuous 80a pulse, and the sag at that drain puts me at only 3.5v or so... so pulling 60a0.06 Ω ?

I only know one battery that can safely handle that: LiFePo battery, like A123 ANR26650M1A 3.2V 2300mAh 70A
given that the atty gets so hot, you can only do 2-3 pulls before letting it chill (and only maybe 10 total before the cell need switch) - so that 60a is just fine
I was under the impression that Sony 26650 are 26A max continuous draw, 52A pulse. The MNKE are 20A/60A.
Maybe I was wrong...
Could you please forward the information about Sony's 80 A pulse rating to me?
I have an RC battery coming for an OKR T-10 box mod I'm making, should be capable of between 175-190A continuous and 350-380 pulse... RC batteries are measured for 10 seconds continuous too so should be a beast
Thinking of also doing an unregulated using a 65C/130C RC battery which should easily allow me to draw 250A continuous and safely at 4.2V oh and with 5600mAh of battery life in something that should be a box roughly 120x65x30mm

hmmm
Going by the C rating, you certainly do get 26/52
http://www.avacom.cz/Datasheety/Sony/US26650VT.pdf
which is strange, as every site - more than 15 - has them listed as 50a continuous, even the flashlight people, which is what I'd had in my mind since picking them up way-back-when. Never looked up the C rating until now - interesting
regardless, they can def do the 10sec burst here just fine - this is my first build with them under 0.08 though
