Does this look like 23g Nc wire, trying to rebuild SSOCC coil

[charly1954]

The photo shows 32g Kanthal compared to a Kanger SSOCC .6ohm coil.

By using steam engine coil wraping calculator 23g Nc80 is the only gauge that comes out to .6ohms for 8 wraps with 4mm inner diameter. Anyone think this coil could be 23 g.

Didn't get any replies so ordered 22g Kanthal. will post if it works incase anyone else wants to rebuild a SSOCC .6mm

22g will be much to thick a wire to rebuild a coil head. buy 26g or 28g. Should have no problem.

I built a coil with 22g kanthal. Used a 9/64 bit which figures .1406" or 3.57mm I.D.. Had 7 wraps and ended with .59ohms. The cloud is as good as the original Nichrome wire that was in the SSOCC. It does take a little longer to heatup but works for me. Allot cheaper than buying coils.

I will have to say the original coil may not have been all NC. The 3 inner wraps looked like they was soldiered to the outside coil wires. I'm no wire expert so no idea what the inner 3 or outer wraps where made of
