What kind of Ni200 wire should i get for DNA40 builds?

[Forensic]

So i ordered a Vapor Flask clone yesterday and don't really know what AWG of Ni200 i should get.
I remember reading that AWG 28 needs a lot of wraps and that most people build with AWG 30/32.

For me, the device I’m using decides what gauge to use. The dripper I use 28g, the Russian I use 32g.

Reason being the dripper (Mutation X V3) screws are very sharp and bite through the lighter gauge wire, causing a short. The way the Russian works, I have an easier time wrapping the lighter gauge wire (32g) around the post/screws.

Best way to figure it out for your set up is to get both and experiment!

30g works fine for me, don't think i'd want to go smaller unless there was a specific reason (ie dan's).

Recently bought both 30 and 32 and will be experimenting once I receive them. Reason I bought 2 sizes is because I anticipate every rta behaves differently.

I would say 28 awg is the most commonly used Ni200.

I've been using 28 ga nickel wire from Vapowire on Kanger subtank mini, Lemo drop, Russian 91%. 6-8 wraps on a #6 machine screw, usually come out to .13-.16 They all work fine. Some folks like to use a #8 screw for more wicking capacity but 6 works fine for me. KGD cotton....and a 12 pk of ice cold Corona with plenty of fresh lime wedges. I run the tanks on a VaporShark rDNA, 420-460 degrees, 20-25 watts, sometimes 480 degrees @30 watts if i'm feeling frisky or drunk or both, afc wide open, designated driver, I stick both feet out of the passenger side window of the car when cruising on a warm and sunny day (remember to apply sunscreen to your dogs so they won't hurt when you have to put your flip/flops back on).
