Question about building coils.

I've been building my own coils for a month or two. I've mainly been using 22g kanthal a-1 wrapping 5 times and that ohms out anywhere from .14 to .16. Now my question is if I twisted the wire like twisted claptons would it ohm out higher or lower?

Lower... much lower... like .07 Ohms.

Take a trip over to www.steam-engine.org, or grab Vape Tool Pro from the Google Play Store. Those tools will help you figure out your coil building.

I use vape tool pro as well. The twisted wire is the only type on there I have issues with. If you don't know the pitch of the twist it won't come out right. But a twisted 28 comes out to .38ohms.

well since it will only fire down to a .1 ohm coil.... Your not going to be able to fire a .07....

My 213 fires to .08 but it's still a regulated turd.
Twist some 26G kanthal for regulated it'll work the best and be efficient ... Good thing about 26G kanthal is well everything you can grow with that gauge, almost every type of build out their you can learn on 26G and vape it.. fused claptons, dual core alien fused claptons, twisted, sfc...
