I realize. I assure you. But it's nice to know what amps your build will be producing. I have a meter that's not what I meant. I was just demonstrating my devotion to safety
more coil wraps = more or less resistance?

As long as the purple ones are the 2500 mAh. If the discussion is about the purple 3100 mAh they are ridiculously low amperage batteries 4 to 6 I believe.
Why cant I like this post more than once???
I would use them in a regulated mod, I sub to low to ever use them in my mechs.
Uhhhh I didn't mean that they are really 35a continuous guys. I'm just saying that if someone didn't touch 20 amps there is nothing wrong with them. But people act like if you use them for 15 amp builds that's still a bad idea. That is why I feel they get a bad rap. They are fine in certain set ups. Great even, from what I've been told. But only in CERTAIN builds that won't push the continuous amp rating
Absolutely! I have an ohm reader and regulated mod, but as a new-ish rebuilder, the app was helpful in narrowing down the trial-and-error phase for me.
Do you even realize what kind of calculator I was talking about? There is no way that anyone could think to use the kind I'm talking about to measure the resistance of something that they just made. It's where you plug in the volts and ohms that you just used a meter to test so it can tell you how many amps that build pulls. It's so you know if you are within your safety zone.
That's good, but you need an actual ohm meter -- is the "paps" an APV with the bells and whistles, or a mech? If it's a mech, then you need an ohm meter.

I think we all know what you're referring to (steam-engine, coiltoy, etc), but trust someone who says "don't just follow a calculator".
I started rebuilding EVOD BCC heads for my ego batteries. Shooting for 1.8 ohms, didn't have anything to check resistance, it turned out to be 2.2: 20% more than I wanted.
Got myself my first rebuildable atomizer the other day, and a VTR for use/checking resistance. I wanted a 1.3 ohm coil, ended up with a 0.9 ohm coil: almost 45% less resistance than I wanted. In the dangerous direction. Suffice to say, tossed that one and built another.
I wanted a 10/9 wrap, who knows what it ended up being. It's very, very hard to count how many wraps make up the microcoil you've just built.
I used coil calculators each time, but sometimes these things just happen. It is absolutely necessary if using a mech mod, or building even moderately low resistance coils, for me.
ETA: especially with the paps, a (beautiful) mech mod and your first time rebuilding, I would expect a short at some point. They is not good when your PV isn't regulated, and I'm sure you know that.

I just went to their coil wrapping calculator and it said I needed 17.97 wraps for a dual coil set up with 26 gauge kanthol. That would end up like a 6.0 
I fully realize the importance of testing coils before you fire them. I really appreciate your concern, but I am just not going to haphazardly throw a coil on a 10 amp battery without checking it. I value my face, domicile and life too much. I am taking every precaution to be careful.
Me too and I love the thing. My coils can all end up different even when I think I've wrapped them exactly the same.
Exactly right... wrapping a coil is not difficult -- but doing it the same way each and every time... that takes a lot of practice! My own favorite build is 7 wraps of 29ga kanthal around a 7/64 bit; my consistency has improved a lot as time goes by and more wrapping has gone on, but it still can vary between 1.7-1.8 ohms. It's high enough that any of my devices can power it, and there's really no difference in taste or performance, but if I was wrapping lower ohm coils, that .1 difference might be a real issue. Consistency is obviously an issue if you're doing dual-coils, since they have to be the same.
Having an ohm meter is also really valuable because devices can vary in how they report the ohms; my iTaste vv3s always report .1 higher than my Sigelei or Vamo. I have a Smok Omnitester, so if ever I'm not sure what the mod is telling me is right, I can test my coil on the Omnitester. For me it's not so much a safety issue since I'm not sub-ohming or even very close to what my mods won't go below, but it's helpful for accuracy.

Think of electricity travelling tru wire as water travels tru a pipe,the bigger the diameter of the pipe,the more water flows tru easily.More coils on the pipe and it makes it harder.
are you saying it's inaccurate? can you provide a link to your build?
This is pretty much what I'm running on my Plume Veil. 18 wraps of 26ga Kanthal, dual coils, 0.7 Ohms. Works real nice.
