Rando you asked about my mod. At that time was vaping on the istick60tc. Using the eVic VTC MINI now.
I've heard a lot of good things about both of those for regulated mods. Currently I'm using the 60W KBox Nano but can't really go much higher than 35W because I'm still using prebuilt coil heads otherwise I just taste burnt..unless I take quick hits
Make the same coil with 28G, comes in at a lil over 1 ohm and that's the build I have in my KF's. It's a nice, warm vape @ 20W. What brand of Mango flavor are you using? I've tried a couple, but can't find one I like.
Thanks. It's 1/4" ID btw. I basically turned my velocity into a genesis with that one. Lol!.That 14 wrap is beautiful
I like 26 gauge because the coil is strong enough to pull out the wick without damaging the coil then dry burn the gunk off the coil. My coils usually lasts me 2 1/2-3 months.
The mango flavor. Not sure but I get almost all of my flavors from the Perfumers apprentice, and a friend bought some Mango flavor from High Desert vapes.
If think I am still using TPA Mango.
definitely get some kind of vaping caculator app. Been building a while and still use it if I want to use a different rda/rta and put a different build in.
TFA was one I didn't like. 
I didn't play with it much though. Never got the % right as a stand alone and the taste was awful. Lol!
I have coils that are over 6 months old and still going strong. Its rare that I make a juice that gunks up enough to damage the coil when I pull an old wick out an I can't seem to get 26G to stay under the screws in my KF's so I just stick with 28G. That's one of the great things about vaping though. A million options so everybody can do it their own way.

Compared to tobacco: Tobacco == Microsoft Windows vs. Vaping == GNU Linux.
Best smoking to vaping analogy I've seen so farCompared to tobacco: Tobacco == Microsoft Windows vs. Vaping == GNU Linux.
steam-engine.org or coiltoy.ermeso.com. Coil toy for fast and dirty, steam-engine for detailed info.

The longest I ever had coils last was 3 months and two or three days.
I used a Kayfun Lite Plus under a bell cap and always used 26 gauge. I did have a lot of problems getting the leads to stay trapped under the screw heads. But that was because of the disability to my left hand.
I don't make a solo Mango with TPA FLAVOR. I ALWAYS make peach-Mango.
Gotta have the Linux Love.
Presently using Mint Debian Edition, so it works out as Debian 8 testing if I'm reading the version system correctly. I have fun with Google often sending me email. "Are you sure this is you logging in under a *gasp* Linux computer?" Tickles my snarky humor for about a second.
Same problem minus the disability. Just a touch of arthritis. Screws push the wire out when I tighten them down.
I tried it as a solo flavor to get a feel for it first. Tasted so bad I never tried mixing it with anything else. Lol! May have to give it another try. I always keep some Juicy Peach around. My 1st successful DIY was a Peach, Pear, Strawberry. It was my ADV before I started playing with tobacco flavors, but I still keep some mixed up.

You should try it. Now I only put 60-75% of the flavor in. You can always add more a few drops of a time but you can't take it out. Did you add sucralose or Stevia to sweeten the juice? I use liquud sucralose.
So I just watched a video from Rip Tripper (don't think I spelt his name right) about a Sleeper coil. It's like a dual coil setup using 1 single wire for both coils. Have any of y'all tried this?
Sleepers are a PITA! If you want to try one of his builds, I'd suggest the nano dragon coils. They work pretty good and aren't super difficult. His zipper cil vid is a good one too, but that's a seriously difficult, time consuming build. Looks cool, but not worth it imho.
