So I've been vaping for a month now. I bought a Vamo V5 and IClear 30, but it's not giving me the right amount of vapor I want, so I'm gonna only use it outside. At home I wanna start making coils for my new IGO W RDA. I bought 28 Gauge Kanthal, but i only have 1/8th drill bit. How many wraps should I do so that I get 1.5 ohms in 2 coils?

I would say buy one of those tiny screwdriver sets that are like $5 on amazon. I wrap 26 gauge around a 2.4mm screwdriver (your 1/8 = 3.175mm) eight times for .08 ohms on a KFL or Russian 91%. Of course that is a single coil. You will likely want to adjust your coils smaller than 1/8 inch in the future I'm guessing. Sorry I can't answer your question as I haven't dripped yet. I would advise an Aspire tank with the replaceable BVC's (Bottom Vertical Coil) if you're on the go. I like them on the Nautilus Mini and now they have different BVC's available for the older Aspire tanks too. Search and you will find a very high % of positive reviews for them.

Thanks, that helped.

is this calculator reliable? It says to wrap it 14 times also.
