wire gauge

Nate Ritter · Dec 16, 2014

Running a Tesla 6v worth a mini rda drip tank. Need to know what gauge wire I should use if I'm trying to run between 1.8 & 2.2 Ω

Maybe 8 wraps of 30?
Play with the calculator!

For that resistance i like to use higher gauge wire like 32, 30, or 29. Just my preference though.

That's what I was thinking... worked pretty well on my Tesla. Need to get a new rda for that so I can drag it back out of storage... LOL

I would go with 28AWG with 9 wraps around a 3mm drill or screwdriver. That should come out to around 1.9ohm :2c:

This sounds like a great place to start.
