.4ohm dual coil builds?

0.9 mm ribbon, 4/3 wraps dual. 2 strands of 3 mm silica. This is what I use for a .4 ohm build.

There are so many different ways to get to .4 and a new one every day. With this you can play around with different gauges until you find what you want to try. Always check your ohms.

I almost always build my Trident V2 at .41 ohms on the dot. I do a 26 gauge 7 wrap dual coil, and it's a sleeper, so it's all one piece of wire. Little difficult to do on other attys, but the Trident has slotted connectors, rather than holes to put the wires in, so I just assemble the entire dual coil, and lay it in there. I've also had pretty good success with 30 gauge braided wire at around .4 ohms. The braided wire takes a bit to spool up, but other than that, it's very good. An abyss coil (mesh wrapped over kanthal) might be worth doing too, or mundys magic wire (some combination of twisted kanthal and ribbon wire). I did an abyss once, but didn't like it for some reason. It was a long time ago though.
I have no experience with ribbon wire myself. I have a small amount of it that I would like to try, but haven't gotten the motivation yet

for 28g for ~3.5mm I have had dual parallel 4.5 rap ~.3Ω, dual triple parallel 4.5 rap ~.2Ω an dual triple twisted 3.8 rap ~.2Ω and for 2.5mm I have a dual 5.5 rap at .6Ω. they all pull out good vapor at vearing levels, you could probably get a high .3Ω with a dual twisted 28g 4-4.5 rap 3.5mm coil

Just finished a new coil....1 strand of 26ga and 4 strands of 32ga twisted together...8 wraps around a 7/64 drill bit...dual coil comes in at 0.31 ohms...hits like a train at 120W no ramp up time at all and the flavor is awesome...
Oh yeah, it is running on my Mutation X v2 opened all the way on my Cloupor T8

My favorite build to hit around .4 is twisted 28g. I use about a 2.4mm drill bit, 7 wrap duals, and it meters exactly to .4 It still won't be a big cloud chaser until you go lower in ohms, unfortunately. You'd need to be using a regulated 100-150w device for a coil like that to really put out some clouds on a mutation X.
Dual parallel build on a 2mm screwdriver using 28 gauge wire with 8/9 wraps each
.4 is my favorite vape. Lower than .3 is too intense for me. I use 26 gauge at 5-6 wraps around a 3/32" to get around that reading on anything I build. Heats up relatively quick, and is pretty smooth.
YMMV.

Just rebuilt my zenith with 26g 5 wraps on at 2mm screwdriver
You might want to double check the ohms or pick up a new ohm reader. I do 26 gauge 7 wraps around a 2.5mm bit and it comes out .41 ohms. Maybe its my ohm reader, maybe its yours, but 5 wraps around a 2mm bit should generate like .25 ohms. Your coils look much bigger than 2mm IMO though.
Food for thought!
I checked it on the 2 ohm readers I have and it comes out the same.
This is 7 wraps same wire

Interesting. Maybe I have a bad reader, but it's matched my Provari P3's reader and my Cana mods reader for the most part. My guess would be the coil diameter, it honestly looks like a 3mm coil to me.
Then again, who really cares, just vape the darn thing! =]

It's kanthal not nichrome right? I hear nichrome has a tad less resistance than kanthal
8 wraps around a 1/8th inch drill bit with 24g Kanthal will give you .4 ohms
i personally like 5 wraps around that same size bit giving me .25 ohm dual coil for a smooth 60 watts on my mech mod

Yep kanthal. I was building a coil for a customer one day in a friends shop and couldn't get it to go past .12 no matter how hard I tried lol didn't realize I was using non resistance wire they had in the same basket. I built the coils like 4 times before I thought to look at the wire I was using. It pays to pay attention lol
