So I want to build a conventional 1.2 ohm kanthal micro coil for my new Subtank/ Subox Mini system. I will wrap it on my standard 2.4mm bit. I can do 8 wraps of 27 gauge or 10 wraps of 26 gauge. Which is preferable? The 10 wrap will have more surface area but longer ramp up even if resistance is fixed?
In a similar vein, how does the diameter affect performance? For example, I can make the same 1.2 ohm coil of 8 wrap 27 gauge on the 2.4mm bit OR 8 wrap 26 gauge on a 3mm diameter bit. The 3mm coil has more surface area but how will it compare re ramp up and temp? Of the 3 coils mentioned, which would you choose for my Subox Mini? Thanks, in advance, for the input.
1.2 ohm kanthal micro coil:
-26 gauge 10 wraps on 2.4mm
-27 gauge 8 wraps on 2.4mm
-26 gauge 8 wraps on 3mm
