The most popular gauges that vapers use are 32, 30, 28, 26, 24, and 22 – a majority of vape coils, even the most eccentric ones and used in the best vapes, can be built with these. The important thing to remember here is that the bigger the numerical value of the gauge, the thinner the wire.

What is the difference between 28 and 30 AWG wire?
It’s important to remember that the lower the AWG value, the larger the diameter of the wire. For example, a 28 AWG is thicker than 30 AWG wire. And size is important (sorry fellas…) Without getting too technical; the larger the wire,the lower the resistance which means a larger amount of power is required to heat it.

Getting my first dripper in the mail this week, a velocity. Looking to do nickel coil, which I understand is better to do spaced. A tip I picked up is to do the coil on a machine screw to keep the coil spacing even. Any one done this and have tips on what size screw/number of wraps?

I may have posted a few times about this... I always use a screw for my spaced nickle builds. I sadly dont know ecactly what size I use, but its around 3.5-3.75mm.

I've thought about doing that for coils on my gennies. I just haven't gotten around to finding the right size screw for it. The drill bit I have is just the right size and it's working fine for now, but I think I'll give this a try at some point. It looks like such a perfect coil on that screw.

I found the screw method way too fiddly. I make a contact coil, then while it is still on the mandrel, I stretch it out. Then I gently compress it until its evenly spaced and of the correct length.

My father just got into temp control when I got him an IPV4 for his birthday. I taught him to wrap a spaced nickel cool by wrapping up a regular piece of 24g kanthal & then wrapping the 28g nickel parallel to it fitting it inside the grooves of the 24g.
Which way do you wrap coil master coils?
That being said, their version 3 of the coil master has larger diameter metal posts to wrap around on, and you can wrap clockwise or counterclockwise so, there are more options with the newer product. I just needed a set of tools as my kids were getting into my vape box and taking my stuff lol.
How big is a dual coil RDA?
For a dual coil rda build I like 7/64" - 1/8" (2.7mm - 3.1mm) diameter, 24g, and 5-7 wraps. When using a variable power mod I use the upper end of those ranges. With a mech the exact specs depend on the conductivity of the gear.
Why use micro coils?
Micro coils are fine if you're building to a high resistance with thinner wire and less airflow - small, low-power, low-surface-area coils. It helps the smaller amount of wire retain heat for bit longer and vaporize more juice in a shorter amount of time.
How to determine wire diameter?
The thickness of the wire and desired power range will determine the diameter. For instance, if I need less power, I will build a single at 5-7 wraps with 26-28. If I want more, I will do the same amount of wraps, possibly in a dual configuration, only with 26-22, depending on how much heat and surface area I want. Obviously, the latter build will have a greater overall temperature and diameter. Different wire thicknesses perform optimally at different power levels and diameters. Generally-speaking, the thicker your wire and greater your wattage, the wider your diameter.
Does thicker wire make vapes hotter?
Less air cooling the coils will make them heat up faster, though because thicker wire retains heat for longer, your vape will get progressively hotter with extended use. EDIT: I thought of something else about diameter. I've noticed that I tend to build to wraps rather than the diameter. 4-7 wraps is my range.
Can you draw a shorter voltage?
You can either compromise a bit of surface area to bring the resistance down and increase the amount of current (that's why I build so low with it ,) or you can bring the voltage up.
Can micros work with twisted wire?
Micros can also work well with twisted or claptoned wire at higher power levels. There may be considerable heat and surface area from a numbers standpoint, but because the coils themselves have some passive wicking properties and slower ramp-up times to fight against, a smaller diameter may be more desirable to both decrease ramp-up and minimize spitback. You can get away with less wick because the coils can retain and displace some juice within themselves, which keeps them cooler, watt for watt.
