I've seen a lot of twisted coil rebuilds happening lately - twisting wire of the same gauge can up the resistance without requiring more length taken-up by extra coils.
Twisted coil builds actually drop the resistance, allowing you to increase the coils for more wick coverage.

Very helpful, thanks alot.
Nice wire PhatRon! Looks like some good tight twists. I only recently really started playing around with twisted wire, and I can't ever see going back to regular single strand wire ever again. This stuff is shockingly good.
Here's my Kraken build with 3-strand 30g and a pic of some recently twisted stuff, the far right is 3-strand 30g, the other two are two-strand 30g:
Once again nice job, OP!

Whoops! Yes - that's it! Sorry to have posted false information - I don't play in that area.
But yes, I suppose it is making the wire thicker, yes? That's the idea I take it.
From what I heard twists in ribbon wire won't work because it causes the ribbon to tear. Have you tried it to see if it works?
I have tried the twisted ribbon wire and it works very well actually.
You have to make sure you pay attention to whats going on and inspect your wire afterwards to make sure there are no tears in it.
I did get a few tears in some spots but ended up with a nice length that was twisted cleanly.
And if you do try and twist by hand,you will be there for a long time doing it and your twists won't be nearly as close as using a drill...

Cool, thanks, I was just looking at ribbon wire yesterday over at Temco so that's why it was on my mind. It was kind of funny because Temco isn't a vape supplier per say but a mechanical engine supplier, yet their entire page about ribbon wire was all about building RBAs.
I twist by hand, let me show you.

Cool ... I actually just completed my first "twisted wire" build with some 32 gauge (finally have a use for it again), got a sweet 1.3 ohm build chillin the Taifun GT I just received today ... don't know what took me so long to try this.

where did you get your Taifun from?
I have a Fogger V2 (to my understanding a clone of Taifun) and it is a PITA to get the wire wrapped around the screw heads.

32g Single wire, two ends together in pliers. Put the loop end on the clip of a pen. Rolled it on my jeans. came out too 0.7 on my nimbus. not bad I must say.
I have a 4-strand twisted 32 gauge wire in my IGO-W right now that is producing some amazing flavor.
6 wraps around a 1/16th screwdriver reading at 0.69 ohms.

My Taifun GT came from Focalecig.com ... its a Hcigar 1:1, and it is just an awesome vape! I have a Fogger V2 and V3 so I feel your pain, and even as many refer to them as Taifun clones, they really aren't at all ... the only similarity is that they are both big, and have a bottom coil base, and chimney.
The deck on the Taifun is far superior to the Fogger ... it collapses down for easy building, much easier to fill and refill ... The Taifun is like a giant Evod. You should check out PBusardo's video for it, so you can see the insides of it. My Taifun is making me not love my Fogger V3 so much ... and I want to love it because he's handsome
Nikkita. Good to hear the taifun from focalecig is a good one. I just ordered 2 of them a couple days ago.
I have 1 from ft and it is a good vape.
Here is some twisted 30ga I built in my kayfun.
Great flavor from this one.
I made this coil specifically for certain juice and it works great!!!
