What's your preferred coil build, wire gauge and wick material?

use 22, 24, 26 A1 Kanthal, and always use tension wrapped coils, whether single or multiples, Then it depends on the rba being built, purrfer vertical mounted coils when air supply is below the build, then a lot depends on build is for a reg or a mech. which will determine my target ohms and gauge of wire.

Wick of choice is Ramie Top Fiber, and degummed Hemp fiber.

Single coil (duals drain the battery faster and don't give me THAT much more vapor) 24g Kanthal, 10 wraps on a 2 mm screwdriver, 0.7 ohms - .05 was too hot, and too harsh for me.

Oh! Organic cotton for the wick. But I haven't tried silica wicks yet - gonna play with that today. Just got my first mech and RDA's (a couple of Plume Veil clones) for Christmas. Still finding my way in the mech world.

Right now, I am using 30 gauge Kanthal twisted micro coils. I have switched to cellular cotton exclusively after reviewing organic cotton for a local B&M and finding that organic cotton just fails on all fronts IMHO.
My A7 that I use for B&M flavor testing is at .6ohms between the screws right over the air intake for best flavor and plumage
My REO RM2 is at .6 ohms
Darkhorse, Vulcan, and Plume Veils are all set dual coil at .5 ohms
Lemos are set at 1.1 ohms so I can use them on my MVPs
