@Highwayman1224 you're probably a good person to ask. If I twist 2 30g ss316L wires together do you know approximately the gauge I would get? Or is there a source for reference? Thanks!
I'd guess around 28ga maybe a little lower. Sorry, don't know of any reference guide that would figure that out.

I just did some Cocktail Napkin Mathematics.

If you take any 2 Identical Circles with a Diameter = D1, and add up the Area of Both Circles, the Area can be Expresses as a Single (Larger) Circle which has an Diameter = D1 x (2)^1/2 (D1 times the Square root of 2).

Since the Square Root of 2 is (Roughly) 1.4142, if you look up the Diameter of one of the Wires used in the Twisted Pair, then Multiply it by 1.4, you can Now look up what Gauge is closest to this Larger Diameter.

Got my Serpent Mini! Yay! I put one of the included coils in, wicked with rayon. Yum, yum delicious! The flavor, airflow & VAPE output is perfect!

Thanks everyone for the reviews, photos and factoids.

I've liked Serpie's clean and compact looks since I first saw one, but had some reservations over its lack of juice flow control (wicking and leaks while refilling). I've had my fair share of lemons, but the relative consensus here has allayed my worries.

I hope to see more, and more refined, single-coilers in market. Maybe a mk. II of this one that includes Crius-like JFC and a choice of tank/chamber sections for different capacity options (3ml/4ml/5ml). It would be nice to be able to mix and match parts like during kayfuns heyday.

Those options are available in the Smok TF Micro (2.5ml/3.5ml/5ml) which I have it comes with a single Clapton RBA head, separate purchase dual Clapton RBA head. But it's not a true RTA. You're absolutely right if a true rta would come with those options it would be a hit!

It seems Smok has gotten a few things right with that range, and the replaceable RBA coil-decks look useful, but I much prefer Serpent Mini's cleaner looks and the slim top cover to that dodgier hinged design that supposedly saves one a few seconds when refilling. And I prefer vaping gear to smok'ing e-cigarettes. :)

Maybe SM mk. III could adopt the replaceable RBA coil section idea while still keeping things clean and compact. Users of mk. I (this current version) and mk. II could just buy new bases and RBA decks while their existing 3ml/4ml/5ml tanks would still fit just fine. Talk about getting ahead of myself, not to mention the imaginatively named WoToFo! :D

Well, I just ordered a stainless steel one... Been on the fence, but as my RTA interests are leaning more toward single coils, top fill, and small, this will sit nicely on either my COV Mini Volts or my Eleaf Picos. I almost bought a grey Pico (already have the pink and the white is on the slow boat from China), but I've already got various colors of the silicone sleeves on the way, so I decided to buy this atty instead... Lord knows I don't need anything. :facepalm:

Enablers!!! :-x

Good read on this tread thank you everyone. I still have a question on the heat understanding part of this is how I do my coil but is it a hot vape or just a warm one? I am ready to buy my first RTA this one has everything I want minus juice capacity and I'm worried that it will be to hot of a vape for me.

Heat depends on your power input. If you like a cooler vape then just use it at a lower power level that you find suitable.
