Kanger OCC Head Rebuild

[claybuster]

Not sure what I am doing wrong or if anyone else has experienced this, but I am having a small problem. I get my figures over at Steam Engine, put my build together...and the numbers are off. I shoot for a .5 build, and I end up with .9. On my second attempt, same thing...going for .5 and got a little better with a .8.

I find it strange because on my regular atty builds I do on say a Tobh or Plume, Tugboat....whatever, usually it is spot on to what the Steam Engine puts me at.

Maybe it is the coil spacing entry Steam Engine? I did leave it at the default of (5). Being the factory build the coils were evenly spaced, that is what I was trying to emulate. That's the only think I can think of as to why my numbers are off.

Anyone have a similar experience with this?

Thanks,
Charlie

Maybe it has to do with the Long Legs needed to Re-Coil an OCC Head?

That is another thing I didn't think of, longer leg length ... Thanks

I'm not sure if it is the Cause. But the legs Are much Longer than on a rba build.

There are several Kanger OCC 0.5 ohm builds on YouTube. May help.
