I've tried 32 Gauge, but got crappy results. Any suggestions?

I followed rip trippers video. I used 28ga kanthal wrapped 8 times around the same screw driver he used. Just need a single coiland use cotton for wicking. It worked great. 1.5 ohm. Good luck.

Every time I replicate his build I get 1.2 ohms for some reason. I follow the steps to a T, torch the living fuck out of the coil, and it always ends up at 1.2 ohms. I mean I'm not complaining because I don't typically vape higher resistance stuff, I just think it's weird.

9 wraps may give you 1.5/6 ohms if you wanted it a bit higher
