Best dual coils for 0.5ohm build

[vapevictim]

Okay so at the moment I'm building single coils on the sub tank mini rba which average 0.5/0.6 ohms, but have just received my plume veil rda and I'm wondering what's the best build on it ( gauge of wire, amount of wraps etc) to achieve the same 0.5 ohms.
I use an Eleaf 50w istick btw just in case anyone was wondering.

What gauge of wire do you have currently vapevictim?

[vapevictim]

I have some 22,24,26 and 32 gauge reels atm in my box of tricks

26 Gauge 7 wraps on a 2.5mm rod

that's great thank you so much, cannot wait to try an rda for the first time -skips off with fishing box full of vape goodies to play-

for dual coil builds i currently use premade coils from FT, takes all my uneven coiling out of the equation
www.fasttech.com/p/2212102 for 1.1ohm coils that used in a dual build should giveyou 0.55ohm.
Edited error corrected thanks to DiscoDes
if getting premade coils i would suggest opting for the longer legged variety as they are easier to grab and wiggle off. thse with 10 or 15mm legs need a snip to remove leg excess..

To help get them even phatfil cut both bits of wire to the same length before coiling so you can check the leg lengths match after fitting. I tighten them with long legs, heat a couple of times and pull them tight around the former, maybe heat again, then loosen the screws and then put them in the final position.

I think you mean 0.55 ohm

Yes i doo indeed Cheers DiscoDes..

I thought I had 26 gauge its actually 24, and I cannot achieve anything higher than 0.26 - 0.37 idk what I'm doing wrong but clearly something, soooo glad I've got premades in.
Just ordered some more 26 gauge too.

trying to build dual coils on a plume veil RDA and a fishbone xs ( both are clones) but the fishbone is sooooooo fiddly I think I fail there but would really like to try it , it looks like a nice piece of kit and I've heard u get good vape and flavour with it.

Try 8 or 9 wraps should give you somewhere between 0.4 and 0.5ohm.
You could use a 3mm rod too if there's enough space in those drippers for 3mm coils, that should give you a resistance between 0.5 and 0.6ohm.
Also nip the post screws down after you pulse the coils, pulsing can cause the screws to loosen slightly which will affect your resistance reading.

Thank you so much, I'll try that on the plume veil, idk if I'll get that many wraps on the fishbone xs but I'll wait until my 26 gauge comes next week for that.

you dont NEED to fit 2x coils or the max number possible, one will work too many offer the option to cut off airflow on one side too especially for single coil builds,

Its not like a tank atty where the coil wick is generally essential to dam the flow of juice into the combustion chamber something accomplished by dripping with an rda..

On the plume veil and fishbone RDA's you have no options to shut off air flow to individual coils only all open or all closed so 2 on the plume and 3 on the fishbone is necessary or you get too much air to vape ratio and it affects the flavour too being weaker, to me anyway, but I do only build 1 coil on my sub tank  mini RBA.
Cloud production is not what I am interested I vape because it satisfies the nicotine addiction I still have from when I smoked but I do think it is best to get the best from your RBA/RDA possible by following the instructions of whatever tank or dripper you may have.
