Dual Wick/Coil advice needed

[Bnormous]

So I Have a Bliss and a Cobra.

Here's what I am doing. Taking a really long piece of 32g Kanthal.
I then take one wick that is wrapped in cigarette paper and wrap a 4-5 wrap coil.
Then I take the wire and tighten it under the either the thumbscrew(cobra) or the washers and screw(BliSS)

After the first coil is wrapped I thread a 4/5 coil onto a second wick using the extra long kanthal that is attached to the positive screw. that wick is also wrapped in cig paper.

I fire it on my Rukkus box mod and adjust it till they all glow red.
Then I throw it on my Zmax to check the ohms and it wont fire and it reads at .8 ohms.

why is this happening. what am i doing wrong?

Two 1.6 ohm coils parallel become a .8 ohm. You will have to go to more wraps on each coil to take them up to 3ohms each, then the two together would be 1.5ohms.

Like bj43 said.
The concern for real estate had me buy a spool of 34 ga. back in the day.
