Wondering if anyone could tell me if this wire would be OK for making a single coil cause I'm gonna be using a mvp2 so don't know what size of wire I need but would be ideal if I could buy it off 8 bit Vape. The link is just below they also have one more grade of wire though

I'll bump your thread in the hope somebody more knowledgeable sees it.
I'm no expert and don't know 8bit, or whether you could get it cheaper, but it says Kanthal A1 which is the standard wire, and that gauge should be fine.
There are tables/charts which show how many wraps of whatever diameter coil will get you the resistance you want, but I can't see where on this site...
I've got an MVP2, and it will fire as low as 0.8 but doesn't like it below 1.2ohms, I'd aim for a bit higher to start out with.
 
I had a look at the options, and a play around with a calculator, I am by no means an expert, but I would pick the 28awg in preference to the other grades available from the site.
