Factory coils out-performing mine

[ScottP]

a lot wraps of thick wire = lower ohms than a small # of wraps of thinner wire still doesn't make sense to me (eg the flagpole analogy), but whatever, I'll get thicker wire because I want more surface area with a lot of wraps and my mod only goes up to 6 V.

Maybe this analogy will help you understand better why the thicker wire is less resistance.

Think of electricity like water. Voltage is the water pressure, the qty of water is the current, and the hose represent the wire. Now, assuming you had the same amount of water flowing through a garden hose and a fire hose, do you think there will be more resistance/friction to the water flowing through a small garden hose or a large fire hose?

could do a mirco coil like this with 30g wire it ohms a 2 @ 11 wraps

Try THIS. I use it and haven't had any problems. Hope this helps

It almost looks like the attach silver leads to the coil. Whatever metal theyre using its really soft if you try and bend it with your finger nails. Silver is much more conductive. Maybe 0.1 ohms for the leads to the coil.

I've been reusing their coils. I just torch off the crud and put in new cotton string.

I think I just made the easy mistake of looking at it like this instead of the garden hose analogy: If I made a 1-wrap coil, it would ohm lower than a 5-wrap coil, so I thought the overall amount of wire (as if shaped into a block or something) meant than the more metal the higher the ohms, and so I figured thick wire would ohm higher than a thinner wire with the same # of wraps.

I just dry burned a factory coil, and the ohms lowered from 2.6 to 2.3. I usualyl do the first half of the dry burn at 6V and then at 3V. I know it can burn the wick, but it's still very juicy while I have it at 6V. I never popped a coil like this. Maybe the juice changed molecular structure or something and becomes conductive and makes the wire thicker and therefore lower in ohms.
