What im looking for is a list that helps me w/o the trial and error.. I have a roll of 28g wire and was hoping to find something that's says if I wrap 28g 12x you'll get approx ohm, if I wrap it 8x you'll get approx this ohm. I have made a few good and bad coils playing around. I got my PT2 coil dialed in at 1.7ohm and my kayfun w/ 1.4.. I like both.. Both coils I used a 5/64 drill bit.. I know the same amount of wraps on a smaller bit will change the ohms.. A nice spreadsheet would be a great guide for people who don't know what their trying to achieve.

Let me try it here since the PM didn't work.

This is a consolidated workbook that opens in Excel. It contributions from a lot of folks here, if they created it and their name is on it thank them, I just brought it together.

Table one is a work in progress. It is builds that were added out of posts but I have found some not 100% correct but close.

It's hosted on my website and the link is to a fishing site. I know a little weird but I have the server space.

I take my wire - still on the reel and put a bend in it about 1/2" along - that's one leg. I put one probe of a multimeter in that bend i made and run the other probe along the wire until i get a rough resistance i want and bend the wire there too. Add 1/2" to this for the other leg.

Then cut the wire and the bit between the 2 bends is your coil, and you will get the same resistance whatever you wrap it on.
