I need serious help.

OP.... It sounds like you need to do A LOT MORE research before you start wrapping coils. IMHO

Nah mate. Almost there. Just 1 more step.

Get a set of precision screwdrivers. I use the three smallest ones to wrap coils on. The smallest is 1.4mm, the next is 2.0mm, and the third is 2.4mm. I typically use the 2.0mm.

Yeah, but... besides checking the resistance and for shorts it's the most important. That and knowing the limitations of your battery, but sense you're using a regulated mod, the battery is a little less important.

You can also buy a coil building jig, it does make it easier, and it comes with different rods.

A good thing to have in your vape toolbox IMO.

I have been meaning to get one myself, but everytime I place an order I forget to buy it lol

Start with more research to understand how all this works....
The longer the resistance wire is, the higher resistance you have. I think most wire resistance is measured in ohms/ft or /m. So it would stand to reason, by wrapping around a larger object with the same amount of wraps would use more wire, thus, less wraps require for a macro coil vs micro coil using the same resistance wire.

I'd start with single coils. Figure out how many wraps to get to a target resistance.
With dual coils your resistance is cut in half of each coil. Make sure you understand the amp draw of your batteries and the amp draw of your builds.

Please be careful, this can be dangerous if you don't understand what you are doing..

yeah i know ohms law and all. ive been researching for over a year. ive studied, learnt safety features, and now im just stuck on this last part. i might do a single coil but it seems like duals keep more surface area and also more vapor.
ill do a 28 gauge single at first and then a dual coil with 32 gauge. the higher the gauge the higher the ohms/resistance. thanks alot.

I do dual coils with 28ga. I save the 32 for parallel wrapped coils. the 28ga will give you more surface area, but you coils shouldn't be GIANT like using 24ga or something like that.
I use drillbits to wrap with. I keep my single micro ciols around 1.4, and dual around .8 or so. with that I'm using 28ga kanthal on 5/64 or so. for higher ohms, you may want to bump up the ID a bit so your coil isnt super wide...

Sorry if my last post came off condescending, that wasn't my goal. There is risk with building coils and i think its important that we help our community understand those risks.
