Wire gauge preference

[bryce666]

I was wondering what wire guage everyone preferred for coil building.
And maybe some recommendations for my setup for coil builds. I have a tobh atty with a mech. Mod, 18650 2100 MA 3.7volt battery. I have tried dual 28 Guage 1 ohm builds and right now I have dual 24 Guage .6 ohm build. It seems like my battery isn't lasting at all on this new new build. I've built the same ohm load out of 28 Guage and battery lasted just fine. I'm just tinkering around, any help would be much appreciated.

you're drawing more power to heat thicker wire, even at the same resistance. just have to decide if the increased surface area is worth the decrease in battery life.

Your drawing the SAME power (AMPS)but the thicker gauge wire takes longer to heat up so your holding the fire button longer hence the shorter battery life.

Nah, you're cool man.

Thank you everyone for all of your help. dre1982 I built the exact coil you recommended and it's working great, longer battery life and good vape. Appreciate the info.
