26awg 40mm kanthal

[Subtanker]

Ive built a coil with 26awg kanthal a1 wire and ended up with .7 ohms with six wraps how do i get .5 ohms or less with this?

 

[Bunnykiller]

use less wraps or a smaller dia form, or make duals ( 2 coils in parallel).... check the ohms before using... always

By using the "Steam Engine Calculator".

Using a subtank mini rba does lower ohms mean bigger clouds

So shall i use 2.5 mm bit and 5 wraps will it lower the ohms?

Use the calculator you've been linked. I do. Broadly, yes, fewer wraps and smaller diameter mean lower ohm coils. But how much lower has to be measured using an ohmmeter. You do have an ohmmeter, right? Please don't blow yourself up without one.

Steam-engine.org says 4 wraps of 26awg around a 2.5mm will give you about .5 ohms.

Or a single coil of N80 @ 3mm and 7 wraps. Also about .5ohm. And a better vape IMHO.
