I have a couple rpm rba's and they came with 28 ga. ni 80 2.5 mm, 1.2ohm. works really well. looks like about 7 or 8 wraps. I'm usually at 9 or 10 watts and have 35 and 50 mg salt nik. I think I may try kanthal when these run out, maybe 6/7 wraps.
35-50 mg way to high reason I thought 0.28 - 0.35 is cause I know the mtl recommended not got go lower then 0.25 and the stock aren't as good as they were

28 or 26 ga round wire, 2.5 mm ID, spaced coil (6 1/2 wraps) Ni80, Kanthal or SS. It must be a spaced coil (no way to check for hot spots with a contact coil) If you want to use clapton wire, keep it small ga design (MTL) Myself, I would use 26 ga round wire (or MTL clapton) I don't like that you can't "dry fire" the coil (which is also how I judge how many watts to use) I guess it's doable... here's a video that might help:
