7 wraps w/ 28g kanthal on a Delta II deck. Looks freaking horrible lol, I made sure when screwing the coil on the kanthal was just touching the post holes when screwing on the chimney and straightened it out. Was aiming for 1.2 ohm's and my D2 reads it at 1.25/.26.
Built my first coil.

It gets better with practice - I have to use reading glasses and a good halogen desk lamp.
Neat close turns give a smoother vape with less spitting and crackling - but too close can cause shorted turns and burnout.
Congrats! I remember building my first coil. I was so proud of myself. I was waiting for a parade and a key to the city for my accomplishment. lol. Seriously, I was so scared to do it for some reason. When it came out right, I was so excited and proud! So again, congrats! 
Congrats!!! If it vapes, it's a perfect coil and they get prettier with time and practice. Or for people like me when you get a coil jig, now mine look like they came off a well oiled assembly line.
