Would putting extra wraps on the negative and positive posts be a good way to up the ohm rating of a coil? or would that be a bad idea?

Any extra wraps around the positive or negative posts would not add to the total resistance of the coil
These wraps will be shorted out of the circuit by the posts
Only the wire that is between the two posts counts
Get a digital multimeter, they're relatively inexpensive. Mandatory for rebuilding if your PV won't measure resistance.
I would also recommend getting a product like Atomizer/Cartomizer Ohm Meter
Makes it really easy, madvapes has one as well once their store is back online.
example 3 wraps equals 2 ohms(just guessing here) or is there another way for me to check the ohm level without having to buy something expensive?
You really should have at least a multimeter for rebuilding but let me add this.This is only based on what Ive read thus far and from my 1st experince.The number of wraps will not determine the omh rating of your coil.The omh rating is determined by the total length of risistance wire between the connection of the R wire and the NR wires.My 32 a-1 R wire is tated @ 1.2omh at 1inch,so 2 inches is 1.2omhX2=2.4omhs.Im sure if I am incorrect someone will be by in a bit to set me str8.....
this is of coarse based on using R wire & NR wire to make a coil for the Penelope,Im not sure what you would do if you are making a coil for an atomizer that uses only the R wire to rebuild
I would assume the pricipal would be the same.the length of resistance wire used between the 2 connectors of the atomizer,and not the number of coils.....hopefuly the more advanced folks will chime in to help us both..

I have a smok vivi tank i modded to be a genisis type (drilled the hole and the whole schbang). the negative post then goes down with out the collar. I hope u r getting what i am saying. sorry for the explaination, the point is when i gave 2 wraps at the negative screw and 2 at the positive screw which now has the extra height coz of the collar and 4/3 warp coil on the mesh wick. I was getting 3.1 ohms after reducing the internal ohms of the leads ( of the multimeter).
Even after i reduced the wraps to 2/3 wrap on the wick. it reduced to 2.7, no idea why? its 32 awg Kanthal, though i got it from china, i think they can't go wrong in wire. Can you please suggest a way for me to get aroung 1.8 - 2 ohms
Thanks

see post above. forgot to quote.sorryI bought the kanthal wire at WICK & WIRE
