you should check out the Odin thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...2565-odin-rebuildable-atomizer-loki-labs.html
Add two wraps (7), and you get 0.50ohms... where I've been loving it!
Actually, that's the build I was shooting for but missed it by a wrap. I think one more on each coil with my given diameter would get me there, but I've truly been enjoying this at .42 that I did my second Odin the same.
I've been using the same rod as you with the gizmo...7 wraps comes out to 0.52 or sometimes 0.50... I might try your build next time... sometimes I wish it was a hair bit warmer, but mostly 95% of the time its right where I want it...
I might try 7 wraps when I rebuild one next time. It amazes me that the Odin doesn't really get hot and I'm using such a short drip tip, too, the router tip. It's amazing. But, back to the OP, at least you get an idea, right?I've been using the same rod as you with the gizmo...7 wraps comes out to 0.52 or sometimes 0.50...

I did 26g on the artistic wire mandrel and it came out to about .43 but I'm almost worried it's too strong for me lol. I'm not used to this vape. All my standard vapes even on cyclones are right at or under 1ohm.
It shouldn't feel like you have to get used to it... it should feel more like 'BAM! I'm vapin' this all day!'
You might try getting your duals into the .7-.8ohm range with the air holes about 1/3 open max - it wouldn't be quite so much of a jump and should still give great flavour. Vapour production would be more full but not choke you out, as its less of a jump there too. You could do a similar coil with smaller gauge wire like 28 or 29 ga (probably warm up a bit faster too) and an extra wrap to get the ohms up.

It took me a little bit of reading to figure out I should close the air holes a bit. Now, it's right where I like it. Plus, I didnt' have my glasses on and grabbed an older 12mg bottle of liquid and I normally do 6mg now. I think all that combined was what hit me hard. Not complaining though! I know what I'm reaching for if I have had a few cocktails!
I like 26ga 6 wraps on a 1/16 drill bit for 0.34 ohms. Air holes wide open. Nice and warm. It Really makes my tobacco flavors pop.
My plan for next time is to try a slightly larger drill bit and see if I can get more cotton inside the coil so I can take longer hits. No idea if it will work, but that's half the fun.

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a wimp compared to some of the builds I've seen listed. 12 wraps of 26 gauge Kanthal around a 2.5mm pin gives me about 1.3 ohms per coil, for a working 0.65 ohms. It works absolutely fantastic with a Rayon wick.
WHY did I ever consider not using this Odin? First successful builds for both REOs 7 wraps with 28 ga Kanthal around this little screwdriver. I have an EZe-coil but I'm still figuring that out. Anyway first dual coil build at .38 ohms. SERIOUSLY awesome with the help of sxmxdrifter's little videos. It still looks a little goofy on my little LP SL Black Wrinkle Copper Vein but WOW.
I run dual 29 ga coils that are 6 wraps and meter at 1 ohm each. I tension wind them on the artistic wire coil gizmo. When they are mounted in parallel, they net .5 ohms. Then I wick em with KGD.
I've tried 28 ga but found the heat up to be slower than the 29 ga.
It's important that both coils are the same resistance and when their mounted, the coils are the same distance away from the posts.
That will make your coils fire simultaneously and consistently . Here's two vids:

And here's one on a 28 ga single coil build and shows proper use of the gizmo and how to cue your coils to remove hot legs

This part is what confuses me so sorry in advance for asking a dumb question. In theory, if I do 7 wraps on 28g, then if I do the same wraps on 26g, the coil ohm should be lower or higher on which? I always use 28g but read someones rec on 26g but am just trying to remember which one yields a higher coil than the other.
26ga is a larger diameter wire than 28ga. 26ga would yield a lower ohm resistance than the same build with 28ga.

yup, thicker wire = less resistance. This can be really handy. Say you have a 7 wrap 28ga coil, and you like the way it performs, but maybe want a warmer vape. You can make a 28ga coil with less wraps for less resistance, but sometimes that gets you less surface area of wire touching the wick to vaporize juice. By changing to a thicker wire you can get less resistance, the same number of wraps, and sometimes more surface area touching your wick. It's all subjective though, a coils that I love, you may hate.
Personally I also find thicker wire easier to work with, it's not springy.
I'm getting great results with ....
28 guage, 5 wraps on a 2.5mm mandrel (Qvapes coiler) two strands of twisted cotton yard.
this gives me .5ohms of vaping heaven

A good approximation to remember, when experimenting with wire gauges and number of wraps. 3 wire gauges up or down will either half or double the resistance. In other words, 27g will be approximately half the resistance, per given length, of 30g. 27g will be approximately twice the resistance, per given length, of 24g.
