So I’ll be fine using 2 of .39 coils and yeah im going to use ohm reader first

No,
2 coils that measure .39 each will result in .195 when installed in your rda.
4.2v / .195 = 90.4w and 21.5a battery draw.

You've said you're using 15a CDR cells, 21.5a is pushing those way too hard, especially for someone new to mechanical/ rda use.

Huh? But everyone agreed that its fine to use dual coil of .39 on a15 battery what do you mean i cant?
If ur right what ohm i need to use to get the right mesaure
If im right i have to use 2 of .78 coils to get the same result of what .39 single coil make

In the post I quoted you said 2 of .39 coils.
2 coils .39 each = .195 when used in a dual coil setup which results in battery amp demand too high for a 15a CDR cell.

If what you meant was using 2 - .78 coils in a dual setup;
Those 2 - .78 should result in .39 when used as a dual setup, which will be fine for 15a cells.

How the gauge wire effect the resistance for example .39 28ga 36 ga does it change something?

Resistance is affected by the length of the wire and the thickness of the wire, which is referred to as the gauge of the wire and usually displayed as “ga” or “awg”. The lower the gauge the thicker the wire. So 28 gauge wire is thicker than 32 gauge and will have a lower resistance should the 2 wire be the same length.

Your coil is referred to as a Clapton style. It will use multiple different gauges of wire to achieve a larger overall wire at a desired resistance. This is done by wrapping a smaller gauge around a larger gauge. Just like guitar string.

The gauges used within your coil are 28 gauge and 32 gauge. When wrapped into a coil, together they have a resistance of 0.78ohms.

So yes, the gauge of the wire will affect the resistance.

Exactly i meant in the beginning to use 2 of .78 coils to get the same results of what .39 makes

Okay, now mount up those 2 .78 coils, trim the legs, pulse fire to ensure they heat evenly from inside out.
Check the tightness of the grub screws, re measure resistance, wick the coils, saturate the wicking, take a few vapes.
And let us know how you like it.

Wow you really killed it can you recommend me a good type of coil for a mech mods?

Generally Clapton coils don't do well at mechs because they have a lot mass.45 watt may not be enough to heat your Clapton coils.Yoy are going to get weak vapor.

I have the vgod Elite mech mod and I make my own coils using plain round wire.
As a result I get low resistance with low mass.This gives faster ramp-up (no delay of coils to heat-up)

Buy a coil jig to wrap your own coils.



Also buy a spool of 26 AWG ss316L round wire

th

use coil jig and do 8.5 wraps for each coil.Use the 3mm rod

So how much a 8.5 wraps can give me in .ohm
