Help with 1.5ohm coil on Kayfun Light/Russian 91

[1happyheretic]

Ok, so if someone could please tell me the materials and process I need to use to set up a 1.5 ohm coil on my Russian 91%, I would be forever grateful. All the YouTube videos are for 1 ohm and lower, and no one EVER shows how to go higher. I sold my mech mod so all I have now are 2 vv/vw devices that won't fire with low ohm coils. I am going to buy a high end mech soon, but that doesn't help me now. Just ordered the Russian 91 and would really like to be able to actually use it when it gets here lol.
PLEASE help me, or point me to a video (in english) that will explain what to use and how to use it.

Do the same thing everyone else does, but use the next size smaller kanthal than the one they do. If they use 28, you use 30, and so on. Alternatively, just make more wraps with the same size wire they use, although going a size thinner will make it much easier.

You may not end up *exactly* at 1.5 ohms, but with a VV/VW device as long as you're over 1.2 or 1.3 you're good to go.

See, that's just what I needed to know. Quick and simple. I appreciate it!!!

Yeah there really is not a difference between building the KFL/Russian91% with low resistance and standard. Outside of using higher gauge Kanthal, you can also use more wraps on the coil. With a regulated device, you should look into 30-32 gauge anyway. I like 32 gauge anyways. With a 3/4 wrap using 32 gauge, I always wind up with 1.5-1.8 ohms, which are perfect for my VV devices and my mechanical devices.

Hey thanks J.M. This is good stuff! Much obliged.

I'm sorry if you already got a good consistent 1.5 wrap, but I just wanted to let you know I've been getting dead on every time 1.5-1.6 wraps using 5/6 of 30 gauge kanthal on my kayfun 3.1.
