those are some great looking coils
I made 2 coils with 24 guaqe kanthal and it came out to .40 ohms -----had to stop with the wraps could not fit cover back on --hahahahahahh
good job on your build----thetrucker
Thanks for the nod truck. If you know how to use a pin vise (many of us more mature do) you can make one helluva pair of parallels. Always preferred twised pair for the density as parallels tend to spread with use and go hot. But winding with tension which I introduced here on ECF gives them rigidity that torching can't (impairs the surface) and twisting the leads, another adaptation I recently added, holds together the geometry and strain. You know these are not new technologies or methods. I marvel at how absent of known established techniques vaping is. They scoff at well known electrical principle here as if it never existed, never worked.
I gather maybe you caught one of my posts or pictures. This stable quad pair (below) of tensioned twisted center leads is still running since last Summer. I can't bear to take it down and all I vape on it is tobacco at .25Ω.
But simple 6-turn 30awg parallels on 2.5mm will get ya easily down to .5Ω for a smooth, cool, dense vape. Like a comfortable productive pipe or cigar just settling in. Mellow and warm.
If you can muster the tension truck give it a shot. You'll thank yourself for trying.
Good luck.
