I have a NarDa 5A coming, has anyone got suggestions for builds to try? I assume round wire is the way to go here? While I don't have a massive selection, I have a few different materials and gauges.
For simple round wire I've enjoyed 26g SS316L in my NarDA. Also 26/36 SS316L Clapton. Both 3mm ID and 0.5 ohms.
There are two ways to wick and coil a NarDA (not my photos).
Conventional wick with an angled coil (quick and easy):
Butterfly wick with a conventionally mounted coil:
I prefer the butterfly wicking and mounting the coil as shown in photo #2. It takes more time versus photo #1 but for me it's a nicer vape.
Very nice as a dripper or on a squonker.

Awesome, thanks - that is super helpful.
I think I have 26g 316L, if not I have time to order before the atty gets here.
26ga 316L SS is my Go-To wire for the Narda. 28ga SS is also good. But 26ga is what I reach for 8 times out of 10.
I do the Conventional/Angled Coil Mount/Wick. Placing the Highest point of the Coil at the same level as the Air Inlet Pads.
I also would replace the Slotted Post Screws that come with it for Phillips Pan Head Screws. Slotted Screws can be a PITA.
