    Hey all,
    Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any help you give.

    I had initially purchased 24g Kanthal from a local shop, and after watching some YouTube videos I did a build where I took a long peice of Kanthal, looped it and put the open end into a Drill, and spun it together to create a "Braided" length of Kanthal for use making coils.

    But then I finally purchased some 26g SS316L from Online.

    Question: Can I do this with SS316L as well? or no?

    Question: Basically I just need a good idea for a dual-build using 26g SS316L, which I can vape at a decent wattage.. maybe around 60-90 watts.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    @Izan and @r055co - Thanks for your replies..
    I've used SteamEngine in the past, but now that I'm doing more technical builds it's confusing.
    For example, the options it gives for "Serial" and "Parallel" and "Dual" etc. etc.

    So lets just say I want to do this:
    a Dual-Coil Build, using 26g SS316L, with both of the Coils "Twisted" (so 4 wires total)?
    But again, I don't know exactly which options to choose for this type of build to find wraps..

    Ultimately though, heres my Goal:
    I want to Build ANY kind of Dual-Coil Build, using 26g SS316L, that can fire at decent wattages (60w-100w).
    Is this do-able? and if so, what would be the best way to accomplish this?

    Again, all advice is greatly appreciated, so thank you!

    PS.. I'm building on a TFV8 RTA Deck (or, a number of other RTAs I have).
    So i'm flexible in that sense..

    Thanks!

    @Izan Thanks for the quick reply!

    Right now I am using:
    SMOK TFV8, on top of a 200w IPV5 (SX Chip), using 2x LG-HG2 Authentic Batteries.

    Currently I'm using one of the pre-built coil units for the TFV8 at over 100w no problem..

    In addition to the 26g SS316L, I also have some 24g Kanthal.. But was hoping to use the SS316L.

    I just want to build a nice dual-coil setup in the RTA unit for the TFV8, or inside my Griffin RTA, etc.
    But I want to be satisfied as well, and 25w simply isnt going to satisfy me lol.. So aiming for 60w+.

    Can you give me any advice on building a good 60w+ Dual-Coil setup with either of these wires?
    Would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance :)
