QUESTION: How many wraps should I do to get an xxx Ohms Coil?

ANSWER: It's not 'how many wraps' you do, or 'on what you do', the important thing is what "length of wire" you use!

Its only this 'length of wire' that determines the end resistance of your coil, the Ohms that you're targeting. Use any Resistance Wire Calculator (eg. below) to find out what 'length of wire you need' ~ and then wrap that piece of wire on any suitable* drill-bit, toothpick, finishing nail etc. to make you microcoil. Or wrap that piece of wire directly over your material (Silica, Ekowool, Hemp, Bastos etc.) to make your wick & coil.

Size and Resistance of the most commonly used wires:
(Gauge vs. Thickness / Resistance per inch)
34 AWG = 0.16mm / 1.80Ω Ohms per inch
32 AWG = 0.20mm / 1.20Ω Ohms per inch
30 AWG = 0.25mm / 0.70Ω Ohms per inch
28 AWG = 0.32mm / 0.55Ω Ohms per inch

*By 'suitable' I mean a size which could comfortably 'sit' on the deck of your Atty.
