316L Fuzed clapton resistance

How does one figure out the resistance for Fuzed clapton wire in 316L SS? I like to run my tanks/rdta at around .4-.5 at45-50 watts using dual 26g 316 at 3mm. Looking for some flavor chasing with the claptons. Anyone have a chart to get me in the ball park?

Thanks

AFAIK, with claptons, you can use just the core-wire size. So, dual-26 would be as if PARALLEL.

Wire Wiz suggests 12 loops @3mm to hit 0.434Ω - duals of those would be 0.217Ω

Cut the resistance in half again, cause you're doubling the wires

Fused claptons with 2 26 gauge cores, it's like two coils in one

You aren't gonna get 0.4 ohms with 4 strands of 26 gauge 316 SS

That'll work on a regulated mod. If you can fit 3.5mm coils in there, even better - try for 6 wraps to keep ohms ohms above 0.1, most mods dont fire below that (yours might though, what mod you use?)

Otherwise you could do a single coil with those fused claptons, if you can do single coils in your tank.

12 loops with two strands of 26 awg, that's 24 loops wide plus the clapton wrap, that ain't gonna fit in anything!
