I would suggest 7 wraps of 28 gauge wire on a 2.5mm jig. The deck is small so you will want a small compact coil. 7 wraps should get ya real close to 1 ohm.
That's very good to know. I had no idea. I am planning to get kanthal in 24, 26 & 28 and a tool kit for building during the Labor Day sales. If the kit I buy does not have a 2.5 mm jig, I'll get one separately.
