Hi I want to make a single coil at .5 ohms for a Uwell Crown Tank with a RBA base and it looks like I would need to use one of those. I would be vaping it around 33 watts. On those wires if one or both will work which grade and size would I need?

In the crown rba, I used 24gwa 316L SS, 2.5mm bit. Think it was 7/8 wraps. Treat it the same as kanthal, just pulse it at low wattage. Also, I put it in with the leads on the bottom of the coil, like this...ImageUploadedByTapatalk1444956103.476566.jpg

I think it was around .3ish. It didn't require even that much wattage for quality flavor or clouds really.

To answer the first part of your question (Hank answered the other part) you can use SS in regular power mode but not titanium, which should be used in tc mode!

Not true there is no reason you cannot use TI in Power or / Wattage mode why would you say that @AmandaD unless you are speaking of the concern with Titanium dioxide at over 600C :)
Once must just not do as one does with Kanthal and dry burn it

Yes, that's what I was referring to (the temp, which you'd easily hit in power mode I think)

Let me get this straight. If I am using kanthal with a 1.2 ohm 26g coil and use 25 watts, that can hit 600 degrees? Steam is no where near that temp. Does ohm, watts and temperature not compute with Ti like it does with kanthal in power mode?

No. Use kanthal with regular power! It's totally different with Ti in TC mode.

Unless I am reading wrong it seems to me people are using SS in power mode?

I'm guilty of using my titanium builds on mech while my dna200 is charging. I only use my tanks so the coil never gets dry. Stainless steel works great in power mode. I find temp to bouncy with SS.

I wouldn't use ti in power mode. Yes it's unlikely with a saturated wick to go to Temps crazy high at 33w. But to me it's like sticking a unlocked mech in your pocket or bag. I don't want to pay that much attention to my wire/wick assembly. Therfore would only use it in temp mode. SS on the other hand is power or temp and SS316l is my favorite wire to use for that reason.
