26 gauge kanthal, need to know how many wraps would do me alright

[Tactix]

I'm going to use a multimeter when I'm finished, but I don't want to wrap this kanthal before knowing how many wraps I should do. I'm aiming to get a 1.2-1.6 ohm build in my mini protank 2, how many wraps should I do to achieve this, and using which size drill bit? i'm going to double check using a multimeter after it's finished, however I don't want to wrap it beforehand. Thank you for the help

Just from memory I don't think you will have enough space for a 26g coil to get up to 1.2 ohm. You would need 14 wraps to get 1.2 on a 1/16 bit. Bump it up to 30g and you can get there in about 6 wraps which is way more doable.

You were absolutely 100% correct I'm just going to wait until I get my 30 gauge kanthal on tuesday and go from there, thanks guys!
