I can't believe some of the veterans on this forum hasn't helped you!What you need to do is scrap most of what info you have received and get you some 400 or preferably 500 ss mesh,Kanthal A1 32awg,instead of nichrome resistance wire,and then you will be in love with that phoenix!You can buy the kanthal a1 and ss mesh off ebay cheap!Another thing to remember is kanthal doesn't have as much of as a metallic taste as nichrome but they both do when you make a new coil.The ss mesh will taste good from the start but after 4 or 5 hours hard
vaping the ss mesh will produce more and the longer it breaks in the better!It takes a piece of ss mesh a little longer than 1/2 inch,wrap the kanthal around it 5 times and after you oxidize your ss mesh it will stand vertical then screw the negative side in first and what I do is wrap the wire around the positive screw and you got it. You can go to vapor......com and buy ss mesh already rolled all you gotta do is cut it with some scissors and get you some kanthal or you can use nichrome the kanthal is just better.Do this and I promise it will be the best vape you ever had!You will probably even thank me?Good luck!
