This is al earlier build. Probably one of my first Hadaly builds. I think this was a 2.5mm coil; which I've since changed to 3mm. But you get the idea.

Awesome, I just built one. Will install it shortly. I wss loving those for a while, but found that in the O16 I would start getting a metallic taste, presumably due to not enough airflow directly hitting the coil. I don't think I ever had that happen in the Stumpy.
Weird. The clamps aren't catching my 28g well at all. I tried 3 times and couldn't stop fairly severe resistance fluctuations. I am going to do 26g again for now, but with one less wrap.
Don't know how you guys do it. I'm seeing new coil builds that look like tracks on an Army Tank. 
Wondering how they build those things too.
I'm still using this ole RM3 with its 14mm Deck using single, basic wraps (28g/ 6wraps /3-32 drill bit /1.12ohms /Cellucotton) with The Virus @ 18mg Nic.
It literally kicks my rear up, down, and all around. I slightly cough at times when taking in a big vape. The Flavor/ TH/ and Taste is awesome! I can't think of a reason to change.

lol, you aren't missing much
those fat coils take too long to heat up
people say things like "just fire the mod starting from when you lift it to chest level" and "the first 5 or 10 tokes aren't great, but once it gets going in a chain vape session"
even straight 25 awg heats too slow for me
i do use basic 26/32 claptons on series mechs
different flavour profile on wire art
lots say "more flavour", which it isn't, it just highlights different notes
i vape unflavoured, and don't chase clouds, so my parallel 26awg contact coils suit me fine
i don't know what i chase, not flavour, not clouds, just nic, i think

I can't imagine using 25g. I got some 27g, and built a coil with 7 wraps and got 1.04ohms. It took a little longer to heat up than the 28g. Didn't like it after awhile. Went back to the 6 wraps/28g @ 1.12ohm... and think it heats faster and better. Not sure if I'll ever go below 28g.
The simpler things are, the better the results.

28 is about my limit for kanthal
kanthal strips my throat though, so does SS.
nichrome i use 26
My favorite build is dual 3mm, 26g Ni80, 7wraps at .3. It works so well for me that I build everything the same, except for a couple of bigger, power hungry atties like the Goon. I do have some fused Clapton that I'll occasionally use on a regulated squonker, but my main atties are the Maker, Stumpy and a Catfished M-Atty. On my Reos and CC's, I think I have 27g duals at about .4 ohms. For me, that fancy wire doesn't provide any more flavor than simple single wire builds. Actually, the best build I ever had for flavor was the parallel 28's. But my sore hands have problems trying to make parallel coils.
The only 24g I use is 316L SS. Usually I'm using 26 or 28g SS. About the fanciest I get is parallels. Everything else is either single 'Z' coils, or duals in some attys.

Ah, the maker. Now there's an atty that doesn't get the attention it deserves, IMHO. Very surprised that it hasn't been more popular.
Why Ni80, BTW? Heat curve?
I suck at 'true' parallels - I just don't have the patience. I do like me some twisted wire, though. It winds and mounts just like straight single wire and takes only minutes to make 4 months worth, unlike claptons or other more involved combination wires. You can buy premade clapton wire, but I find it's dear in price compared to other wire and my inner scotsman gets grumpy about that (yev got spools of pairfectly gud wire in yer bin, ya bell end bint, he says).
