What are you trying to solve by figuring this out? A stability equation?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

so far, by the sounds of it,
2mm 28 gauge kanthal.

what i'm wondering
2.5mm 26 gauge kanthal?
3.0mm 24 gauge kanthal?
3.5mm 22 gauge kanthal?

I tend to use 3.5mm all the time, whether I use 30 gauge or 28 gauge, just because it is bigger so it's easier to wick, so i'm wondering if maybe I should use thicker gauge or twist 2 28 gauge (tried that a couple days ago but wire broke part way, gave up and wrapped my usual coil 3.5mm 10wrap 28gauge)

Pretty much in my experience. My general rule of thumb is that the smaller the coils ID, the thinner the wire should be. Thicker wire takes longer to cool down, so it's better to have more wick inside the coil to stop it burning as it cools down as it's got more juice on it. I use 24/26g in 2.5mm+ coils and 26g+ in less than 2.5mm. Just how I do it and seems to be working so far :)
