This may seem like a simple question, and I have done a search for the answer but didn't find what I was looking for. What are the advantages and disadvantages to the different gauges of wire. I am somewhat new to rdas and rtas.

Welcome to the ECF. the thicker (lower) gauge wires will build a coil at lower OHMs. wrapping 2 identical coils with (for example) 28 ga and 26 ga, the 26 ga will have a lower resistance. here is a great place to learn about it. Steam Engine | free vaping calculators
personally i prefer thicker wire like 26 & 24 ga because it is easier to make neat coils with.

what are you running the rda's on. the thicker the wire means more power to heat it up.
The thinner wires also will give you more wraps for the same ohms, thus more wick is covered, thus more juice is being vaporized.
Rsunderl, I think you may have that backwords thicker wire = more wraps, thinner = less wraps
I currently have a eleaf and a ipv mini running a lemo and a plume vail, the lemo has 24 gauge 7 wraps at about .5 ohms, I am trying to figure out what to do about the plume vail,
I would shoot for the same range and see how you like it. If I am correct, I don't think your eleaf will fire below 1 ohm though. what are you useing for wick?
I use Japanese organic cotton, wanting to aim for .5 ohms running duel coil on the plume vail
normally 26, 28 in the .2 - .6 in my mechs.... the RSST is 28 @ 1.8-2.2 ohms all wicked with rayon
I am running a Plume Veil with dual 26 gauge, 6 wraps around a 2.0mm screwdrivers and get IIRC .4 ohms. Best of Luck.
