So i bought some stuff

whats newxt

I got a penny mod and plume veil RDA clone i got an efest 20A 3100mha battery so my question is what resistance coil do i need to build so the battery will be safe?

Are you using a kick?

i don't understand, whats a kick? It's a mechanical mod

A 0.3 coil would bring you somewhere around 15 amp which should be fine.

I wouldnt push a 0.2 coil as it may push the current a little too high.Around 0.25 would probably be the max drain the battery would handle.

This is me running the figures in my head so it might be worthwhile checking a calculator.

So both coils together need a resistance of about 0.3 ohms?

Dual coils half the resistance of each coil so 2 x 0.6 ohm coils will give you 0.3ohms.

so that would be about four wraps per coil of 28g kanthal?

Yeah that will do it,
you should get thicker wire for low ohm builds so that you have more surface area to vaporize juice.

Thanks for all your help

So a thicker gauge wire would be 34 gauge? whats the best gauge wire to get for my setup?

Nope, 34AWG is much thinner, 0.16mm.
The American wire gauge system is arse-backwards and we should only use our own system.
The most popular YouTubers being American seems to have scuppered any chance of us Europeans being able to have straight-forward instructions for wire.
0.32mm wire (or 28AWG...ugh) is a good all-rounder.

But i'll only get 4 wraps per coil if i use 28g what gauge will give me better wraps?

0.5mm (24AWG) would be around 12 wraps to get each coil to 0.6ohm.

0.4mm (26AWG) would be around 8 or 9 wraps.

No. Don't build two 0.3 ohm coils they'll fire at 1.5ohms. If you're using two coils and you want .3 like what was said build a 0.6

Yep that looks grand, you might like this site for coil building also!

Make sure to set the spacing to 0mm for micro coils, and the coil type to "return" also.

Oops. Complete moment!! Let me stress it will not give you a 1.5 ohm coil xD
