Congrats carldamnit the o ring is 1 mm thick you can go to a local hardware store and buy a o ring that is a little thicker or grab one on line . I would try a 1.2 mm o ring .
One last question
What gauge Kanthal for an 8/10 wrap micro coil at 1.5 to 2.0 ohms?
Thanks again!

30 gauge would do the trick.

Part of it depends on how big the mold is that you wrap it around - bigger diameter = more wire = more resistance. The one I wrapped yesterday was on a 1.4mm screwdriver shaft - 8 wraps of 30 gauge gave me 1.3Ω. Tonight I wrapped another one that was 8 wraps of 30 gauge, but on a larger form (a screwdriver shaft that was about 1.8mm) - came out to 1.9Ω. If you were to try 8 wraps of 30 ga. on the shaft of a 1/16" drill bit, you'd probably be right in the ballpark of where you want to be.
(Note: I'm a rookie at this and not claiming any expertise - this is just what has worked for me so far.)
Dang you're good. I was just on that page and you still beat me to it. lol
I just went to my bookmarks and copied the link and posted. Much easier than going to the actual thread and then copying the url.
I got it saved now. I was using it earlier to make a "educated guess" about how many wraps I would need. Then sadly my eyesight decided not to cooperate and I still missed my target. lol But that thread sure has been a big help.
