New member and questions about Trident dual coil

[Albatross]

Hi everyone! Been vaping about three months and it's been invaluable in breaking my on-and-off habit. More on than off, actually. So, I'm off analogs completely.

Can anyone offer help with wrapping a 4ohm coil? I can't sub-ohm on my Vamo v3, and I don't like the vapor off sub-ohm coils anyway.

I picked up a Trident clone at my local vape shop, and it's working great with a 1.8ohm coil. I'd like to set it up with a 2ohm dual coil, but I was hoping someone could answer a few questions.

If I understand things correctly, I need two 4ohm coils to get a 2ohm dual coil setup. But for the life of me I can't wrap a coil anywhere near 4ohms. I download pbusardo's spreadsheet calculator, and it says I need about 2.2in of 34g Kanthal. I've tried wrapping it that way, but no dice.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I did a ~3.8 coil using 32 awg, at about 5/16" diameter and about 11 wraps. I pressed the ends of the coil together while I torched it to hold it's shape. I was trying for a micro coil but came out way too high. More wraps mean higher resistance made with a larger diameter and thinner wire.

I simply got some wire and practiced.

Thanks. I've been practicing, too. I'll try 11 wraps and see if that brings the resistance up.

Don't forget you can increase the diameter to help too.

I have a 1.3 ohm coil that works find on my vamo v1.. I guess I would on the v3 as well. Might be easier to wrap two 3ohm coils than two 4ohm ones

BTW... Why not wrap a single coil... Less of an hassle.

A single micro coil will give you nice flavor and nice clouds to.
