What is the main gauge of wire you use?

[NitroBex]

My go to is 26ga Kanthal for my own builds.

 

[SavageJuice]

I find myself using 26ga the most these days.
For my all day tanks, I use 27ga and usually do around 9 or so wrap micro coils to get around 1.2ohm.

 

[VapinChevy]

I've been using 26ga, but now I'm down to the 18-24ga Kanthal range *pending on atty*

 

[Chris Ledington]

Been using alot of 24ga kanthal on all my builds latley. But on occasion i will use 22ga. and 20ga.

 

[lordmage]

i myself use 32,30,28 for my drippers and rta. from 1/16 to 1/8 sometimes. ohm ranges from .5- 1.5 respective of the mod and my vtc5. some times i twist also but no other type used yet.

 

[David Davis]

I like to use 28 and 30 in my Kayfuns and 24 and 20 on my drippers.

 

[Alan Woltemath]

I use 24g 4 wraps around a 1/8 drill bit. I get around 2.6 ohms and it chucks the vapor

 

[Chris]

.

 

[FluidVapor]

Depending on my stress levels, 24-26 and usually 5-6 wraps on a 2.5mm rod for duals.

 

[Indy325]

I just started making coils... and have been using 30g - so far its wonderful! Can't believe the difference!

 

[Vape_geek]

I mainly use 26g and 24g.
For big cloud builds I use Royal wire, same builds as normal kanthal usually meter out about 0.1 ohm lower with royal wire.

 

[MushroomCloud]

got to love 26 gauge good all around wire

 

[Scarey]

Mostly 22g for me, at the moment.

 

[GimmieMore]

I almost exclusively use 26 in everything I build.

 

[Scuba-Matt]

26 and 28 depends how many ohms I want and size of coil.

 

[VT Andrew]

I prefer 30g but I'll often use 28g as well. I don't trust people enough to sell lower than 28 in our retail shops so I haven't really foxed with anything lower...

 

[mikevape22]

32/30/28g

 

[Big Jake]

32 and 28g round kanthal has worked well so far but not been building very long I may move on, thats where forums and groups like this become nice

 

[blue305]

i use 28ga Kanthal

 

[Iriesan]

32g and 28g depends on what I am building.

 

[biglenny1211]

24g and 28g mainly for me, I have some 30,32, and 34 but don't like and never use 90% of my coils I build with 24....

 

[Chain vaper]

I've been using 26 ga wrapped with .05 ribbon kanthal. Sometimes nichrome

 

[EricBNC]

28 kanthal

 

[Kerosive]

I have been primarily rocking 28 gauge but just recently starting working with 24/26 for some interesting new builds I am trying out.

 

[Soulkarve]

My go to is 26ga Kanthal for my own builds.

Agreed but I have used 24ga on occasion and still have about 50' of 28ga that I have been trying to use up on my kayfuns.

 

[Smugface]

I was using 28 but just started using 26.

 

[MistaKuraudo]

Twisted 28, 26g and 24g in drippers. Usually 28 or 26 in other atties.

 

[jmaulvapor]

26 gauge in drippers 28 gauge in tanks

 

[5150sick]

24, 26, 28 depending on the circumstances. Oh, and 30 for rebuilding protank heads.

 

[Vaping PBR]

24g mostly for single strand dual coils but have used 18-22g when the mood fits.

 

[madmach]

28ga is the main one i use the most but do use some 26ga and 24ga some times

 

[Chowder]

Currently using 22g Kanthal with EXCELENT results! However 3 strand twisted 28g kanthal was my go-to before I tried the 22g.

 

[Bahas]

24 gauge and 28 gauge with the occasional dabbling with 0.8x0.1mm flat ribbon wire

 

[hitman4274]

been rocking the 26g recently. pretty decent clouds!

 

[Puffinstein]

I like 26g myself at 0.3 ohms .

 

[KuntryBarbie]

Well we(me and Vapeman12) use 30ga Kanthal and 28ga Kanthal.... He was rebuilding my junk until the other day when I rebuilt on my own (well 99% of it was me cause he had to show me how to do it lol) I am doing mine at 1.1 and 1.2 I dont see in going lower right now lol

So yay!!!

 

[Garemlin]

I use 30ga for my PTII rebuilds. I flip-flop between 28g and 30g for my Kayfun and RTA builds. I'm not a sub-ohmer so no need for me to go thicker.

 

[Kemosabe]

i use 28g kanthal primarilly- usually for multiple-coil builds, but do use 26g and 24g kanthal as well- usually for single coils.
i also use 26g and 24g nichrome, which takes a bit longer to heat up and stays hot after vaping longer, especially the 24g. i havent used it much due to the fact that cotton cant really keep up with these coil's demands / heat retention of the wire. these are the builds that i am switching over to cellucotton. so far my results with cellucotton in regular (1/16" iD) micro-coils has been outstanding- superb wicking and very little coil-gunking.

 

[The Doctor]

20-22-24ga in drippers, 24-26ga in rta

 

[Smokenninseattle]

I use 26ga mostly 5 to 6 wraps but on occasion and if im building for lava tubes or other stuff I will use 28, 32

 

[Jcc2k]

28ga at the moment. Will be trying out some 24ga soon for dripping.

 

[Vaperjim]

28 kanthal here. bought a roll of 26, and just tasted burned.

24-28.. 28 is the go to for me though

 

[Roger Schaeffer]

28 ga Kanthal and equivalent Ribbon Wire. going to try 30 and 26ga next. Going on 5 months analog free and about to do what I said I'd never do-get a mech. Build 1 to 1.8 ohm builds for my Seigeli 20 Watt

 

[Fishee]

I've only used 30g but I'm looking forward to trying the 28g. I think it will make a big difference. I like to twist the 30g and that's what makes me think the 28 will actually get me to where I want to be. But I also have like 95 feet of the 30 so I'm not in a real big hurry to get another spool of kanthal just yet.

 

[Stingbk]

28 g for tanks and 24 g for drippers.

26 g is what I like best with my drippers right now but also use 28 g for my kayfun (which I don't use often enough) - from my very first experience with dripping I just knew I'd found the device that I was made for!! Love my drippers from building to vaping,

 

[TrashCat]

28 g round kanthal... I've tried the ribbon a few times but hated it.

 

[Dhim]

28g is to Kanthal like Bubba is to shrimp. You can single coil it, dual coil it, twist it, parallel it, vertical it, dragon it.

 

[Nu2Mods]

28 round Kanthal for vv/vw mods w/tanks; 24 round Kanthal for mech mods w/rda's.
