hi I would like to stay between .8 - 1.2 ohms on all my builds. I use a 5/64 bit to wrap on, and have 24 & 28 gauge kanthal on site. what gauge wire and how many wraps to stay in .8 to 1.2 ohm range?
how do you keep same ohms everytime u build

If you're not super sub ohming you can stick to those cheap black boxes.
This will give you a good indication: Coil Toy - Online calculator for e-cigarette resistance coil building
A 5/64 drill bit is roughly 2mm inside diameter

The magic word is practice, followed by multimeter (-;
The Steam Engine calculator linked in the above post is very accurate as well as easy to use.

Another vote for the steam engine site. Very accurate and easy to use. As kaezziel said... It's NOT a substitute for a meter though. It's a "guide"
Also... I keep a notebook of all my builds. I record the wire size, the type of coil, what it was wrapped on, how many wraps, and what it metered out at and how it performed. This way when I want to repeat that build again there isn't any question about how I did it the first time.
I have all the meters I would like to know like I take 28 gauge wrap it 8 times twice and I say twice for dual coil that it will give me 1.0 ohm every time. there is a coil toy out and what I don't get is the forward and return settings.
I don't know much about coil toy but..... have you tried.... Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators ?
like my blue tobh 18650 size atty; I took 28gauge wrapped it 10 times 5/64 and did it again for dual coil. metered it .8 ohm cool; then I put it on my caravela did the pinching and rubbing wicked with rayon. I then put it on my ipv2 carbon fiber edition .7 which is fine ill run it, I would like a more steady layout. its like when I first started building I bought prebuilt coils fixed them up; ran them they would even change .1 to .2 ohms.
You don't have to worry about the forward and return settings, it's only going to change your final ohms by say .02 or so, as far as dual coils if I am understanding you right...
You would build a coil and divide it in half... for example if you wanted a final ohm of 1 with dual coils you must have (2) 2 ohm coils or if you wanted .8 you would build (2) 1.6 ohm coils

which I also just get enough wire for probably 1/2 lead wrap coil then another half inch. that's how I do my coils is the bad.
yeah so I need to build the first coil then measure then build second coil then measure.
