Hi @G-BAD
Wiser apes will be along in a minute, but personally I don't think stainless steel is the best wire to start your tc adventures with. It's the one I find hardest to get a decent tc build with, although it seems to work fine in wattage mode. It is a nice wire to work with however. It's just my tuppence worth, though, so probably best to wait for the tc apes to give you better advice!

The TC accuracy for SS wire is poor, better to start with some 0.3 or 0.4 mm NiFe30 from Stealthvape, use the Ni200 profile as at 390f the temperature response curvves meet up and you can adjust up or down to suit...

I agree with the above, a stable TC build is easier to achieve with NiFe wires.
If you are set on SS for whatever reason, my advice would be to think about the number and diameter of spaced wraps you can comfortably fit in there, and then choose a wire gauge that will put that build at 0.5 Ohm or higher (using Steam Engine's Wire Wizard, for example). It looks like you can fit 8 x 3 mm spaced wraps in there easily (based on this slideshow) so you'll probably be fine with up to 0.4 mm (26 g) wire.
