Hi I have this smok TF-RDTA S2 tank and have a 50 watt mod paired with it. I understand that lower gauge wire is lower resistance for a higher vape and was wondering what gauge wire I should get for a 50 watt mod if I wanna vape between 20-40 watts? I heard that lower gauge wire is better for higher wattages so could someone tell me the wire I should get for lower wattages and maybe give me a link for some cheap (preferably prebuilt) wires?
Thanks,
Nick

20 to 40 watts I would use 26 to 24g. Maybe buy a roll of each to try, anything lower in gauge will take to long to heat up. Not familiar with that tank, but if you also intend to do dual coils, then 26 for sure. Lighting vapes is good

I would say the same.

24-26g kanthal would be my choice.

Run a few builds in Steam Engine. This is important if you are considering different types of wire too. Ni200 for TC would require dozens of wraps to be vapeable at 40w as an example.

I am a big fan of Lightning Vapes. If you order, make sure you use a promo code for 15-20% off. The social media code shown on their site gets 17%, LV15 for 15%, etc.
