Resistance (measured in ohms) is really a function of the length of the wire. So the inconsistencies could be because the tightness of the wraps is not consistent, or because there is more distance between your individual wraps on some coils than others. Also, what are you using to measure your ohms? The same thing every time? I have several vv/vw mods and they aren't entirely consistent with each other on this. I've been rebuilding for 4 or 5 months now, much to the detriment of my credit card balance. But I'm still getting better at it every week. It is really fun and I'm not having to toss half of the cartos I buy anymore.
So far, my favorite by far is the Typhun GT. I have accumulated quite a few RBAs since my first but that's my favorite.
Hope this helps...

Hello Ladies....
Been a while since I have posted here. So glad that so many of you ladies are having good success rebuilding!
I am trying to master rebuilding protank heads. It is not nearly as easy as it looks, but I keep trying. I did a resistance "study" a week and a half ago using 28 gauge, and found I wasn't going to be able to get to where I needed to go with that....so I ordered some 30 and 31 and finally got that in over the weekend.
I have been working with the 30g this morning and am finding that I am lacking consistency. I am using a 1/16 drill bit that I buried into a fat dowel, and have wrapped six times with various results.
So.... on a 1/16 drill bit, using 30g Kanthal, I have gotten:
6 wraps= 1.74 ohms
7 wraps=1.64 ohms
5 wraps= 1.19 ohms
9 wraps= 2.05 ohms
8 wraps= 1.64 ohms
6 wraps= 1.35 ohms
8 wraps= 1.68 ohms.
......see why I am frustrated? closest to consistent is the 8 wrap, but the first 6 wrap was nearly exactly what I was looking for!
