Ni200 is the last wire you want to use. 316L is the most popular wire for TC due to it's relatively high resistance, ease of use and compatibility with wattage and TC modes. Titanium and more especially, NiFe30 from Stealthvape are also viable alternatives to Ni200.

What gauge you recommend I start with

What gauge you recommend I start with

26 gauge 316L, 7/8 wraps at 2.5mm ID coming out around 0.27 Ohms works well for dual coils, if that all suits your atty.

Yes that is about what I am doing now just fancy trying another wire

NiFe30 is class. 29 gauge for dual coils. Titanium is the best wire for stable temp control, but it does take a bit of practice coiling as it is very springy. Neither of those should be dry burned btw.
