Good evening guys / girls. Hope all is well. Need some advise please. I want to start building my own coils. For the Kanger mini RBA plus deck what wire would you recommend, and what diameter of the coil, 2mm or 2.5mm. Thanks. I am planning for 1 ohm or less.
New coil build.

i am uisng the kanger subox mini and using 24 guage kanthal getting 0.4-0.5 on 5-6 wraps
I have gone through a lot of coils in that rba base and IMO the best build i have used to date is twisted 28 gauge wire where you take 2 strand of 28 guage and twist them with a drill and do about 6-7 warps that would give you about 0.5-0.7 and that has given me the best vaping experiance from the subtank RBA, but that said if you dont want to go through that much effort a simple 24 gauge 5-7 wraps is easier and the vape is good, you can push it to about 30 watts and higher it gets a bit warmer I tend to stay around 20 watts with any build in the subtank
pret
ty much do the same as well on the lower wattages
Petrus you can find almost any build on YouTube, step by step videos, probably thirty or more easily.
As a beginner, I've had the best results with 24ga Kanthal, 5 wraps, at a 3mm diameter. Comes out at around 0.5 Ohms.
The larger diameter allows me to use slightly more cotton, which soaks up more juice and creates a larger surface area.
I was getting the occasional dry hit at 2.5mm, but using this method I have had none at all.
Logic dictates that twisted builds will be more effective, but I don't feel comfortable enough to tackle them yet, perhaps when I get a better tank.

@jasonb have you gotten into RBAs?
@Yoda I find twisted wire tends to carry the flavor a little better, what you say?
I use steam engine > mod range to find the sweet spot I then build towards that.
28g kanthal is nice and easy to start of with.
I built 26g nickel, last night 9 wraps 2.5mm. I'd stay under 8 as the leads skew the coil when you fasten.
