Ni200 works better with even spaced coils, aka spiral or rake coil configs. Personally with 28awg Ni200 I use a #14 machine screw to wrap around, fixes the even spacing, allows for manipulation and all before removing it by unthreading it. Every contact coil I've made with Ni200 has hotspotted and melted on me each time, so I stick with spaced ones.

i've never tried nickel, but i has a spool around. so i tht y not try it on my Billow V2? then i realised the billow deck is too small, i would need 13 wraps 28G 2.5mm to achieved 0.08ohm. can anyone tell me this is correct?

It is correct macis. The dual coil build halves the resistance of a single coil. You can go bigger in diameter, but you need the room to do that too.

Thank you Ryedan, i'll try a build once free, but i think i'm not experience enough to go 3.0mm on the billow yet.

3mm ID on a Billow takes some serious skill and patience. The one time I actually squeezed some 3mm coils into mine the airflow was terrible, there just isn't enough room imo..
