I appreciate you asking. I do know how to build. I did it mostly with rda's up to a couple months ago. I mostly used kanthal so I'm with the 24G and 22G. I do own 26G kanthal too. I've made builds with ss and nichrome. I have an app called vape Tool that's very helpful, similar to steam engine in a way.
That lightening vapes 28/36 clapton has the overall diameter of 26 but the resistance and heat up of 28. It's also very durable and works for dry burns so you don't have to rebuild as often.
