I seen a couple videos rebuilding tfv4&8, crown1&2 coils. Its pretty easy. Even the sextuple coils can be done, you just do 3 instead of 6. The only thing im wondering, is how do you predetermine what the Ω's are going to come out to? I have 22g, 24g, and 26g in both kanthal and SS so i want to rebuild a few of my tfv8&4 coils as well as my crown 2 coils. I want to build some at .15, .25, .40, .60 so i can do some testing and see what i like better, im just not sure on how to get those Ωs.
I tried to use my multimeter on the old coils still together, and on just the wire after i pulled it out of the coils, but i wasnt getting the .4 reading the coils are supposed to be before i took them apart or just on the wire itself. My plan was to getting a reading on just the wire then cut the new wire to that length, but i wasnt getting the readings i was expecting so i didnt try yet. I dont imagine steam engine will work because the casings will change the final results, as well as because its not a regular coil like one that would go in an rba, right? Any ideas on how to get certain Ωs before hand/before building and putting it on a mod or ohm reader?
