These pics are about the lowest resitance coil i can get.. (how do i get higher ohms?? more wraps correct..? im not a troll this is literally my second day building)

No worries...we're here to help.
It's hard to tell from the picture but it looks like your coils are a little too loose. And what ohm is it?
This is a 1.2 ohm dual coil with 28 awg. While not my prettiest coils this is what you should be shooting for. And it's not an IGO but the principal is the same. Have you checked out the video link yet? Supes does a much better job explaining it than I can.

If I may. What APV is that? It's not the VTR right?? anyways here's my coil,, seeing how nice yours look i need some input. Mine reads 2.3 ohms
and nooo sorry, i havn't seen the vid yet. I've been watching so many RBA youtube vids my brain is going.. "JUST FRIGGEN MAKE ONE THAT WORKS ALREADY"
It's really hard to tell if it is on the pic but make sure the coil is not touching your posts. That will mess up the ohm reading. Stick with trying to get some single coils to get the hang of it. Don't expect to get anything over 1.5-2 ohms on 28 wire. Add some more wraps to increase the ohms. Look into some micro coil vids for how to get the coils tight. Even if you do them as big as 1/8 inch diam they will glow nicely and evenly using that technique. If i recall on1/8 diam it takes about 8-10 wraps of 28.any more wraps than that and it will take too long for the coil to heat.
Once you get some 32 it will make doing higher ohms easier. Also if you don't have a torch for heating the wire to press it tight a candle works. I started by putting a tea light in a holder and holding the coil over the flame till red then pinched with needle nose and removed from the flame and cooled for a min or so before releasing from the needlenose.

It's a Reo Grand bottom feeding mechanical. I like it so much I bought three.
As for your coil...much better! Try dry firing it until the coils are nice and orange and then squeeze them together and hold them with a pair of needle noise pliers (after you let go of the fire button!). You want the coils touching as much as possible.
The best way to mount them is to leave them wrapped around your drill bit while you mount them in the atty. That way they don't get deformed while you're wrestling with the posts.
