Thanks for your help

It's goes all the way up to 1awg and even beyond 0,00,000,0000awg

1AWG is over 7mm thick though, so I wouldn't recommend it for vaping!

Don't speak too soon, there will probably be a big 10kw 25 battery mod and tank out any day soon that calls for 6 claptons made with 7mm wire and a drip tip like a hose pipe!! You'll need to plug the fucker into your local substation to charge it and carry it about on a wheelbarrow!!

The smok horsefucker lol!!

5 wraps 316l 3mmcoil=.61ohm with 8wraps same wire .9 ohms approx. The .9 coil will need more wattage to ramp up than .6. so not always the case that lower ohms means more wattage. Check out steam engine coil wrapping tool. Great for working out a particular build.

This is not quite true - any coil will "Ramp up" faster if you apply more wattage after all "Ramp up" is just the time a coil takes to reach a certain temperature. I think what you mean is that It will need more wattage to reach the same heat output, ramp up time is linked to wattage but is not soloely affected by it - the amount of metal and it's surface area is the major factor.

That was my point. 3 more wraps= more metal,surface area. More wattage needed for same heat flux.

I may have missed it but what metal is that wire made of? The type of metal makes a big difference to resistance (measured in ohms) as well as affecting it's performance when electricity is put through it. It can also have some fairly serious safety issues (particularly with titanium).

Don't get me wrong; Crazy Wire make some of the wire I use and the sell decent vaping wire but there are different ways of using the different types. Some are for simple power or wattage modes, others for temperature controlled modes and others can be used for both.

PS. Can't believe I never thought of drilling holes in the spool like that. Genius!

It depends on if you are using a regulated or an unregulated device. Heat up time is s function of mass (the gauge or thickness of the wire used) and power (Watts). Generally a lower resistance coil will be able to handle a higher temperature generated by a higher power. Don't confuse the parameter and the units of measure:
Power - measured in Watts
Resistance - measured in Ohms

Now, from what i knew resistance is measured in Amps.

No.

Amps = current
Ohms = resistance
