What kind of vape do you like? You want it for TC or VW ? You want a build for 10 watts or 75 or somewhere in between?

I would start by trying to clone or duplicate performance of your favorite coilhead.......

The heaviest wire I have used is 26awg...... I vape at 30 watts or less on coils from 3ohms to .1ohms.

I would get a spool of 26 or 28 gauge wire either SS or Kanthal. And a 2.5mm or 3mm screw driver. And make coils. Single dual twisted parallel. In the 1ohm to .5ohm range. Maybe a bit higher or lower. Use a calculator like Steam-engine.org trial and error usually works best.

I like vaping mouth to lungs and using it in wattage mod m8. I want a build between for 30- 50 watts. I wonder especially what kind of wire is usefull for my mod and tfv8 for best performance? Thanks for help :)

For wattage mode you want SS Kanthal or nichrome wire... best will depend on which build You like best...... for 30 plus watts I'd try some 26 awg wire. Maybe a small clapton. Like a 28/32 or 28/36.

Your going to have to build some coil to find out what works best.

Yes that's a good way to start... buy a variety of coils... keep track of materials used and number of wraps and such... pretty soon you will find what works best for you. Then you can just buy the wire and make your own coils in the future.

Remember the RBA uses 2 coils. So if you go with the 28G 0.8 ohm coils you have above, the total build with be 0.4 ohm (0.8/2), which is fine. If you got the 24G 0.5 ohm coils, that would be 0.25 ohm, which is also OK, although might very well need a higher wattage to perform to your satisfaction. Just always remember to check the resistance yourself to be sure the numbers they gave you were correct.

One question though. Typically mouth to lung vaping is done at lower power, higher resistance builds with low airflow. Are you sure you mean you want to use it for mouth to lung, as opposed to direct to lung (more vapor, cloud production higher airflow)?
