I used 32 gauge kanthal and 2mm silica. Any idea of what Ohms it might be?

How is this for my first coil?

I'm going to be doing the same thing with the same material tonight, albeit I have Ekowool which I can't tell if that's what you have to. Think I'm going to go the 5/64" drillbit method. Also, did you boil/torch the wick beforehand?
Yes. Also depends on the gauge of the wire. The thinner the wire the higher the resistance. Do you have a way to check ohms?
Kinda sorta....everything that I have read shows that the kanthal has a resistance per distance. I can't recall the actual measurements but I'm sure someone on here has it memorized!
More wraps means more length of wire = more resistance
It looks ok but would be much better if you could check the ohms before actually firing it as there could be short from installing it on your rda or rba
Why does everyone seem to think a $10-$20 multimeter is a waste of time and money. I believe $30,000 to $100,000 of plastic surgery and the related recovery time due to an unchecked coil a much bigger waste of time and money (not to mention the negative publicity for vaping)

The lower the number the lower the ohms... So 28 gauge is thicker than say 32 gauge. Thicker = less resistance/lower ohms.
In my case, I believe I can just throw the EVOD atty on my eVic without the cartridge once I replace the coil and see what it rings it at when I power-cycle it.
Lower gauge wires have lower resistance, but are thicker. So a 32 gauge is thin and springy, a 28ga is a little thicker and will give lower resistance for an identical build.
Honestly, if you don't have a way to check your resistance or for shorts, you are taking a risk. If you get a hard short, you can damage your battery - or worse. A hard short on any battery is no joke and can get messy quickly. Please don't rely on the internal battery protection to tell you you have a problem.
I Highly recommend getting a multi-meter. You can get a cheap one for less than $15 at most places.

I have never built a coil, but plan to start soon as my cake day is coming up and I am looking at getting a Mech and some sort of RBA. I plan to build the coil, then check it with my vamo before even screwing onto a mech. I have a mulimeter, but trying to use it on these tiny devices is a PITA!
I don't have any experience in this rebuilding stuff as well. I bought 28 awg wire and it was thick. Could be done by winding more coils, but I'm wondering if anyone is using 28 and find benefit in it.
I mean what is the recommended wire gauge?

Here you go $5.49 http://www.harborfreight.com/7-function-multimeter-98025.html Geez!
