Default Solenoids wire size

Ive searched had found mixed comments.

What size wire do you use for the nitrous/fuel/purge solenoids to the relay? My NX solenoids come with 18gauge on them so im guessing #18 or bigger will be fine. Just want to double check since im in the process of installing my nitrous and just want to be on the safe side
