My question is, I've got some 28 Guage kanthal wire which is good for my say 1.2 ohm builds in my sub tank mini deck. But my question is I would love some advice on how to get .5ohm or lower with my 28 Guage wire, keep in mind that I'm using a sub tank mini deck. I don't know what to do other than maybe twist some up and try that I don't have a rda yet but working on that. lol,

What mod are you planning on running the sub ohm coil on?

With only 28g, achieving low ohms is hard for single coil. With twisted wire, the ramp up time is very slow compared to plain 28g.

In all honesty, I've seen a bunch of dual coil builds in the subtank mini rda. It would be easy to achieve .5 ohms that way, if you feel inclined.

What are you using for power and
Why do you want to get 0.5 ohm or lower.

With an rda, many would make a 28 gauge dual coil at 0.5 ohm, but with the subtank, you'd want to be doing single coil.

And yes, if you twist 2 of those wires together and make it with the same wraps you would end up closer to 0.5ohm
