New to coil building and want to make .4 ohm - 1.5 ohm coils with what I have

[modmaster33]

So here's what I have to work with.

What type of coils can I make with kanthal 24ga wire and the flat wire I have to make .5-1.5 ohm? I've heard of twisting it, parallel, etc. all confusing. I'm one of those who learns if you tell me and show me

Hello and Welcome!!

Head over to a good Vape Shop nearby and have them show you in person. You pick up tons of info.

Here is the calculator most coil builder use http://www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp

And here is an example...

There are a LOT of coil building tutorial videos on YouTube. One of my favorites is The Art Of Vaping.

Just to add to the above advice, which you should follow... ...twisting or paralleling will pretty much half the resistance of the coil, wrap for wrap. With thinner gauges, this is often necessary to get down to a lower resistance. The 24g you have there is ready for low-res builds right off of spool. It's generally best suited to building UNDER .5 ohms. It's hard to go much higher than .5 with it because your wrap count starts getting into the double digits and it heats up verrry slowly. You could always do a single macro coil, which would be 6 wraps around a 3mm for ~.5.

Ribbon wire is a little different, though if you can mount two strands in your posts, should preform nicely as a dual parallel in the .5-.8 range. You'll have to learn by doing on that one, though. The idea is to take two strands, pinch them straight with your fingers and wrap a coil with the two strands laid out on top of one another.
