Sorry I think my brain is fried here. Haven't slept since Saturday
It's 26g. Build at around 0.8 / 0.85, 16 to 18w works well for me. That's practically 8 wraps and the wire gauge is fine enough for most atty's to take it.
When I use 24g I build around 0.5/0.6 but don't go over 22w - this works well for me in the Skyfall with the smallest airdisks and close to only about 1/3 open. Works well in the skyline too.
Just done 8 wraps with Ni80 24g, 3mm ID... 0.6Ω, best at 18w... driptip gets a bit hot. Need to shorten the cotton some more and try 26g/2.5mm next. But the round wire is giving a smoother vape and flavor than the MTL Fused (at 0.8Ω/15w).
See. Round wire is boss. Crispness at lower wattage is unparalleled. Dual fused Eric's (Claptons 2x26*36 - see what I did there
) for higher wattages.Aliens and all are nice to have, but the above just work brilliantly and are usually a good way to see if an atty is any good.
Loved the "Clapton" reference! Will never look at a Fused Eric's again in the same way...
Got to agree, I run basics in all my other setups:
- Round SS316L in my RDA's for my Paranormal (for Replay Mode)
- Ni80 Flatwire for the rest of my Dual Coil RDA's
- Ni80/KA1 Round Wire for my RTA's or Single Coil RDA's
I used to only run MTL Fused Eric's in my MTL's (Galaxies RTA, OBS Engine MTL RTA, Ammit MTL RDA, Savour MTL RTA, Hellvape MD RTA), but think I am going back to round wire in all of them. It works without being fussy.

I can’t remember being this impressed with an atomizer straight from the go.... smooth smooth and silent. Any mtl Vaper should own one or 6! GB for more!!!
I have tried crafted coil mtl aliens, coilology mtl alien, coilology mtl staple, 26g ni80 and superfine.
From the list, the best results were from the crafted mtl aliens but in no way very far ahead of the others.

Simple 26g SS316L roundwire build. 0.8ohms. Same wicking as yesterday, just the ends lightly thinned. JFC on largest hole only. 3 airflow holes open. If this thing did not produce Vapour, I would not have known that I was vaping! This thing is buttery smooth and quiet as a church mouse. I love my SS MTL builds for fruity flavours. The Panama really shines in this setup. So glad I have a second one incoming.
Coil looks perfect bud.
Perfect height! As well as obviously great flavour it's that silky smooth, silent airflow i look for with a MTL RTA and in my opinion the Glaz Mini at least matches it! The BP Mods Pioneer also comes very close and the Berserker V2 is none too shabby either giving a smooth quiet airflow!
Not tried Aliens in this, wouldn't get away with them in the Glaz Mini but i reckon that could be a good shout in the V4!

I have tried the mtl alien, mtl staple and the VV superfine clapton. Out of all of them (in this tank) the superfine has impressed me the least, so you are not alone.
My setup of yesterday had a coil I made from the VV Superfine Clapton and I really enjoyed the flavour. Have been vaping on Good Boy MTL juice in a variety of atties and the flavour was on point for me personally.
lovely coil @Dela Rey Steyn
Makes me just want to vape it!!
I set mine up last night and vaping it today, will make a post and my thoughts when I get a chance
Still on the simple SS coil I put in on Wednesday. Man, Panama really shines in this setup. Had to consciously force myself not to vape myself into a Silver, I just can't get enough of this tank. So, so, so, so, so, so, smoooooooooooooth!
Going to be my next test tonight too, 26g SS316L, 2.5, with some Banana Custard or Vanilla Custard Tobacco... stoked to give it a go....
Have had no issues on my tobaccos (Strong tobacco, not desserty tobacco) but prefer Ni80 for desserts personally.
Keeps us posted on your findings
Thanks, I usually use desert tobacco's and fruits, just ordered some SS316 round 26g.
Is your ID 2.5mm or 3.0mm?
2.5mm, I use the same build in my OL16's as well. But 0.6 - 0.7ohm on the mechs. 1ohm is just too weak on a mech for me.
Thanks, wattage on the 0.8ohm 2.5mm?
Ni80 2.5mm 1ohm 26ga pre built coil 9wraps comes to .95ohm. 
15-17 Watts currently as the Panama I'm vaping is Nic Salts
