How many wraps on a vape coil?
The average number of wraps on a vape coil is anywhere from 6-10 wraps for a good result. If you can get back in touch with us and tell us what wire type you’re using and the desired resistance of the coil you wish to build then we can give you a little more guidance.
What wattage should I be Vaping at?
On the other hand our 35.28 Watts figure refers to the wattage you would be vaping at, using a fully charged battery at 4.2V, on an unregulated mod (mechanical mod). This figured is derived from Ohms Law. Ultimately though you can experiment with the wattage you’re using on a regulated mod and see what works best for you.
How many wraps does it take to make a complete turn?
One complete turn is one wrap. Also make sure your wire is not overlapping when you wrap your coil. The resistance is determined by the number of wraps, the diameter of the wire and circumference of the wrap. The resistance will only change if any of these parameters change.
What wattage can I vape at with a 25A battery?
A single 25A battery is safe up to approx 70 watts. A dual battery mod using the same 25A batteries is good up to 140 watts. If you want some more information you can use our Battery Amp Draw Calculatorthat works out what you can safely vape at with any battery type.
How many wraps should my coil be?
How many coil wraps do I need? This depends completely on what type of coil you're building, your target resistance and even how much flavor you want from your coil. We'd usually suggest sticking to around 6 wraps as this will give you a good cross sectional surface area with decent flavor.
How many watts do I need for a .23 ohm coil?
0.23ohm | Recommended Wattage: 20-45W.
How do you count loops in a coil vape?
Double check your number of wraps by counting them on the side of the coil that is opposite of the leads. Once you are sure your coils has 8 wraps you can hold one lead firmly with your fingers and pull on the other lead with your tweezers or pliers then repeat with the other lead.
What does more wraps on a coil do?
HOW DOES THE NUMBER OF WRAPS AFFECT MY COIL? The more wraps, the higher the resistance, which goes on to affect flavour and cloud production. 8 wraps is a good starting point, but you can wrap your wire around more times if you want a different resistance.
What size coil gives the best flavor?
The best ones to go for flavour wise are clapton, titanium (if you prefer vaping with TC mode) or an Alien coil. The sweet spot for getting a balance of vapour and flavour is around 0.3ohms. Depending on your coil choice you'll want to up the wattage from anywhere between 50 and 100 watts.
What watts should I vape at 0.25 ohms?
Coils in the Geek Vape Z series:15 - 0.15Ω Ohm (80-90W) new.2 - 0.2Ω Ohm (70-80W)25 - 0.25Ω Ohm (45-57W) new.4 - 0.4Ω Ohm (60-70W)
What wattage should I vape at 0.27 ohm?
40-55WWattage range 40-55W. Compatible with the following Aspire tanks: Cleito.
How do you calculate coil windings?
Call the number of turns N and the length l. Calculate the inductance associated with the winding using the formula L = (u0 * A * N^2)/l where u0 is the permeability of free space at 12.56 x 10^-7. If N is 100 turns, l is 6 meters and A is 7.069 square meters.
What wattage should I vape at 0.7 ohm?
The New Aspire Nautilus Mesh Coils are 0.7ohm and recommended wattage range is 20 – 25 watts. Pushing the boundaries of what is possible again the new Nautilus Mesh Coils raise the bar when it comes to MTL / Hybrid vaping again.
What is the best gauge wire for vaping?
Kanthal has been the choice of most vapers for a longer time, due to its ease of use and higher resistance. Mouth to lung vapers appreciate their higher builds, and a 26-28 gauge Kanthal wire is always dependable—and hard to swap for anything else.
What is the best coil resistance for vaping?
The standard or regular level of ohm when it comes to vaping and your clearomizer is between 2.4 and 2.8. This is by far the most common ohm range chosen by those looking for replacement coils, with the most commonly chosen being 2.5. This standard level tends to offer the most consistent level for your vape.
What wattage should I vape at 0.5 ohm?
For example, a 0.5 ohm coil will vape best at 15 watts up to 50 watts. Another place you can look to find out the appropriate wattage range is on the coil itself.

Just purchased an Igo-T and would like to try out dripping in lieu of using a tank. How many wraps and what gauge does everyone recommend for a single or double coil build?
Cman1337 Full Member
I use a SS Quasar by Cosmic innovations with 6 wraps of 24 guage wire. Comes out to 0.190 ohms. I honestly never drip mine unless I test it with a reader. But I think 28 gauge wire with 8-10 wraps would be great for dual coil. I do know on one of the sits it claims "The manufacturer recommends that you do not exceed 7.5 amps with this device ."

Dual coil - 28g Kanthal at 7-10 wraps should land you between 1.4-1.9 if you have ~1.5mm inner diameter.

Hop over to youtube and watch some of Riptrippers vids. He's built in about everything with bunches of coil configs.

If you find a single coil you like with 28 gauge, you can wrap 2 the same way with 32 gauge and get pretty close to the same resistance.

One thing you MUST do is check the resistance of any coil you make before you use it on a mechanical mod. Use an Ohm's law calculator and be sure the battery you are using is up to providing the amps the build will take.
Sthur Vaping Master Verified Member ECF Veteran
I run a 5/64 bit with 28 guage and 5 wraps running dual coil at 0.5 ohms. It vapes great and around 8.5 amp on a 30 amp vtc4.
How many strands of wire are needed for a coil?
This will enable you to select either a single strand of wire, or up to four strands running parallel/twisted. The most commonly used is a single strand, however, using more than one strand will reduce the overall resistance or increase the surface area of the coil.
Is each wire type different?
Each wire type has slightly different properties, therefore it’s important that you select the correct type of wire that you’re using, otherwise the overall resistance or wraps shown in the results section won’t be correct.
Rebuilding Atomizers – Step One – The Wrap
I’m happy to report that I was given the green light the other day to continue on with this series on learning how to rebuild atomizers. The series will, hopefully, teach you not only how to rebuild any atomizer you choose to work with, but to also show you that it does take a lot of talent to do it, only the desire and commitment to do so.
Methodology
The way of I am going to teach is is to break it down into various exercises, to assign, not homework, but an exercise that when you complete it you will be able to easily apply that skill when the time comes. The first, primary, yet most important part of rebuilding an atomizer is learning to make good wraps.
Wrapping A Coil
In its basic terms, rebuilding an atomizer is the simple act of removing the burned out wick, which is material wrapped with a coil/wire, and putting another one in its place.
Preparation
When the time comes to really wrap some wire around a real wick you’ll have learned about preparing your wick, whether your wick is made up of stainless steel mesh rolled up into a tube shape, or some other wick material properly prepared, but I don’t even want you to have to worry about these things right now.
Two Ways To Wrap
Guide To Vaping – There are two methods I use to wrap a coil. One way is to take a wooden match that you would use to start a fire in your fireplace, about 6 inches long or so, and the smaller wooden match that you would see in a box of matches that you can carry around in your pocket. These are the sizes we want to start with.
Wrapping
Kanthal Resistance Wire is cheap. You can buy 32 feet of it in a small spool for $7.99 at MyVaporStore. 32 feet will last you a long time.
