Help I'm joining the big leauge!

I decided on ordering a RX200s with 3 x LG HG2 18650 3000mAh 20A, Nitecore i4 Intellicharger Battery Charger, and a Griffin 25, with a roll of 28 AWG Parallel Core/32 AWG.
If anyone has any tips on diameter of coil/number of wraps I'd appreciate it. I can't decide to go with a 2.5mm diameter or a 3.00mm. I haven't ever worked with Fused Clapton wire before. I've built single, parallel, twisted, micro, macro. Any tips on wattage's for Clapton builds would also help. I will be using all kanthal wire, no temp control. I'm open to single and dual coil builds.

Bro, just don't buy the nitecore charger. They're crapola. Xtar is the way to go.

Its already orderd and will be here tomorrow... I read reviews about it and it seemed the good outweighed the bad by a good amount. Do you have a bad personal experience with this charger? Warnings etc.?

Take a look at http://www.steam-engine.org/wirewiz.asp. It can be used as a guideline, in order to find out more about your coil(s).

If possible, I'd prefer a 3 mm ID, it'll prevent wicking issues.

The wattage will depend on your build, and your eJuice. You'll have to find the sweet spot. Start at a lower wattage, and increment step by step, in order to find that sweet spot.

I have chargers from all 3 of the big name manufacturers, and they have all worked well so far.

Yes, they work well. However, the Nitecore chargers are in third place, at least on my list, due to the lack of amperage, when charging 4 batteries in a 4 bay charger. The advantage of the Xtar charger is the feature of being able to restore over discharged batteries. The Opus, with it's testing abilities, and better amperage on all 4 bays.

Yes, if I need a quick charge the Xtar or LUC-4 gets them. I'm looking into an Opus for my next charger.

Thanks for the information guys, I'll start with a 3mm ID, and slowly ramp up my watts... And hope my charger doesn't kill my batteries.. Or me.

Well I'm happy to report that my order came in. I went with a 2.50mm ID fused clapton single coil ohming in at .34. Running at 44.8watts 3.90volts and I have to say I am very pleased with the quality of the vape I'm receiving with this setup.

 

[vapeshredz]

Why get such a powerful mod and only vape at 44.8w? I am kind of new to this so I dont mean this in a rude way but I also want to get an RXS and want to drip on it at 100w.

 

[VapeForHealth88]

I went with the RX200S because I plan on getting a few more tanks crown, tfv4 etc and I wanted to have the power for when I do. Also the battery life turned me onto it. It seems 24mm and 25mm tanks seem to be the way things are heading so I figured might as well get ready for the fun!

So I re-wicked, and threw in some juice that I have been vapeing for a while now, and I noticed the flavor was off. It just wasn't hitting the notes for me, if that makes sense to anyone. So I put the same juice in my trusty Wotofo Serpent and the flavor was back. Don't get me wrong the Clapton was giving me a dense warm vape, but the flavor was hmm... So I took out the single coil mode cap and put in a spaced 26 Guage 3.00mm ID 7 wrap dual coil build coming in at. 45ohm. Took it to 55watts and bang welcome back to flavor town!
