You're building on a series mech, you probably want to be around a 0.5 or higher. With 8v you will have a hard time getting a cooler vape.
That tugboat is one of my favorite rdas, but, it has smaller postholes. The RDA is from a time when most of us were using 24g kanthal or nichrome.
For a series build, I would go with 8/9 wraps of 26g at 3mm diameter and work from there.

Ya this is my 1st 8v mech I norm like claptons I seem to get a cooler vape from them but I'm guessing the ramp up time will be faster with 8v over 4

You're gonna be hard pressed to get a series build into a Tugboat... not saying it can't be done, just saying it ain't easy...

You're running on the NC?

Twisted Messes and TM2*
Subzero*
Velocity
Petri V2*
Goon 22
Indestructible*
Tsunami 22
Phenotype L
Hannya

I don't have my collection in front of me, but these I've listed have generous build decks. Make sure you check that 510 pos pin, though...

Those with asterisks are tried and true when authentic... can't speak for clones...
