Want to get the Kanger Sub Mini with the rba and am wondering, if i buy a coil making kit, what Gage SS316 wire and how many wraps would it take to make TC coils for my eVic VTC-75W Mini in SS316 mode? I see they need to either be 1.0ohm or maybe i can also get away with .5 in SS TC mode? Any help before i sink money into the tank, the Tool kit and the energy would be great. I just feel that SS is a better vape choice and bought the mod because it was upgradable and has a SS TC mode.

Thanks all
Harry

You don't need to worry about the resistance as much with TC. Anything between .08ish and 1 ohm is going to work well on the subtank mini.

Any gauge down to 24 will fit in the RBA base. I personally think the sweet spot is 28 gauge. 6 1/2 wraps of 28 gauge around 2.5 mm gives you about .7 ohms. If you go with a gauge thicker than 28, you might want to drop down to 2 mm so that it doesn't choke off airflow.

Steam engine . org is your friend

Now thats as silly as asking for advice in an MMO game and getting the "google is your friend" answer. I have no clue on how to use that thing, i glanced at it once last week when i decided i will try my hand sooner or later at coil builds. Now, if there is a tutorial for Steam engine.org, that would have been so much more helpful.

Thank you for this info, it gives me a starting point and i can then use the meter to test the resistance. Very helpful and much appreciated. I have a friend i can call for other builds with Kanthal wire in VW mode, he has it down to a science and wraps coils on the side of the road like he was yesterday LOL. Thanks again.

For the sub tank mini 2.5mm inner diameter is the sweet spot. You go to the drop down menu under coil builder and select ss316l. Select your gauge of wire as the above said 24 is about As thick as you want to go. You then go down and out in your preferred resistance. That is a personal preference and has to deal with the gauge of the wire you are using and heat of the vapor it will produce. I would recommend starting at .5 and if it's too warm go up in increments of .1 up to a full 1.0 ohm. Next you will see inner diameter set that to 2.5 mm and on the far right it will tell you how many wraps you need to achieve your desired resistance.
