Ok here is my issue. i just got a subtank and i want to build my own coil, I want to build in the range of 1.2ohm and 1.8 ohm. how many inches of wire will i need to make the coil? I have the chart that tells me how many ohms per inch i just don't know how many inches of wire i need to use to make a coil.

Here are a few links for you regarding building coils and getting the resistance just where you want it:
1. Steam Engine
2. Coil Toy Calculator

Make sure to check your build with an ohm reader or DMM before putting it on your mod and firing it.

Here is the easiest way watch this video

Here is another that I used when I first started

What size and type of wire are you planning to use?

What are you using for batteries. You build coils around the batteries not the rba. What gauge of wire? Single coils or 2 coils?

A single coil of Kanthal, 28-guage, wrapped around a 2.25 drill-bit would need about 3.5-inches of wire, and about 10 turns of coil. Don't forget you need to handle and hold the coil, so you probably need another inch or two which you can cut-off once it's installed.

Thanks everyone.

Steam site shows you how many wraps at what diameter you need. Amount of wire you cut off should be enough to comfortably wrap with depending on what your wrapping on.

I don't worry about how many coils I have to wrap. I worry about how much wire I need to hit the targeted ohms. If I can't fit it on the deck I use a different kanthal wire that requires less length to aquire ohms. Or decide to do a twisted kanthal wire.
