Whats the point of this? And what am I aiming for? I just got my first mechanical mod.
Wrapping coils for mechs?

You should read more before attempting to rebuild, if you don't know at least the basics it can be dangerous. You should at least know your ohms voltage and amperage, and how much your batteries can handle.
For a mechanical, I will say anywhere from 0.7 ohm to 0.9 ohm works good for me. I have a atty with 1.1 ohm and works good on both my Provari and Mechanical mod. So anywhere around 1ohm is good for me.
the point is the ability to use a thicker gauge wire. this for me is the reason. a thicker gauge wire just has better flavor. this can be because it has less resistance therefore is cooler, it also covers a bigger section of the wick. you can say that with a vv device I can also use thicker wire, maybe yes, but you would have to make to many wraps to get the resistance above the cut-offs. mechanicals are for low resistances, 1 ohm and under without the worry of errors and produce very thick clouds of vapor. before you start you need to know that low resistances produce much more amps and if you don't have some quality batterys there can be issues. you need batterys that can handle these lower amps. another great thing you can do with them is to pulse oxidize your wicks, this cannot be done with a vv device. good luck
I made a .8 ohm coil. It's working pretty well. What batteries should I be using? Right now I've got some AW 18490's and 18650's.
The main thing is the amp limit on the battery. Are they high drain imr? If so i believe the amp limit is 10A so you will be ok with that coil.
I only use AW IMR batteries and aim for 1.5 - 2.0 ohms....below 1.0 can be dangerous.
