Cap't was asking for length but the answer you supplied was even more helpful to me.. Thank you (again!)

No sir, I was just responding to Sodapopinski. You are nothing but helpful, and I yield to your expertise and attention to detail. Trust me, no hard feelings here. I have started using my Father-in-law's Fluke Multimeter which he assures me is working perfectly and accurately. I didn't get a burnt taste at all last night with the new ceramic, but we'll see how today bodes. The new coil is working great again, even with the Craft store NR wire.
This is what is baking my noodle too. Even if my coils ARE less than what they are being measured, it shouldn't make a terrible burnt taste right off the hop. I should be able to run this sucker at 1.5 ohms or less so long as the juice control is open but I have never been able to.
Thanks everybody
Haha, I'll have to straight-up slap it happy.
What's a good source for NR Silver wire. eBay is out and I'm going to need some new NR wire
I got this one which is Nickel wire. Scroll down and find the 0.20mm one

We can almost taste the distress in your posts,after the UFS debacle and now the ody,I think we all want you to succeed and keep you around
And this is good trouble shooting/hunting,can be usefull for all.
By bigger gauge wire do you mean bigger AWG or Thicker?

Aww shucks thanks dude, thanks. Trust me, I'm a GG fanatic for life. Off topic I'll be proving it on the evening of May 15th. Moshmarr and I have a GG surprise for everybody that we hope will knock some socks off. Just a teaser...
Anywho, I am very particular about getting a device working just right, and consistently. I'm determined to master the Ody and help the next wave of newbs that will pop up with the next run. I can't wait to try Steve's coil.
Ok Funky, I have been following this thread to see how you are progressing. So far everyone has covered everything I could think of. But I do have to agree that the coil you show in your pics looks very much like my 1.8 ohm coils.
I see you are using a Fluke meter, good meter btw, I am using the same brand.
When I do my coils and install them, I have no change in the resistance. Maybe a bad twist on the wires?
I will post some pics of mine the next time I build one. Lately I have been using a 1.6 dual coil set up. Using 2 strands of wick,
unbraided after wrapping and placed in the ceramic. so the ends of the wick go into the channels. After I vape it a few times I need to open the juice control all the way to supply enough liquid to the coil.
Really hope you figure this out, once you do, you will be good to go.
PM me your address as well and I'll send you one of my dual coils.

Just throwing my 2 cents in on the silver wire.
Can't help you with your issue, but here's where I bought my silver wire.
Beaducation: 30g Sterling Silver, round, dead soft, wire - 10 ft [SW30]
Here is a new configuration I'm trying out. Its a #400 stainless mesh full krink made with 30 ga kanthal and 28 ga half hard sterling silver wire.
As you can see, the heavier, stiffer silver wire allows for a straight twist so I don't need to twist the silver back over itself. So far so good...

Our friends in Greece know what's up!! .8ohm at 3.7v is my favorite low voltage coil! Got mine setup at 1.3ohms at 6v right now, vaping like a true champion!
Funky, as another means of troubleshooting your problem, I would wrap a fresh coil around 2 strands of stock wick (aim for 4 wraps), meter it, and then install it like you normally would, but refrain from putting the tank on and just try dripping into the short mode mouthpiece with the juice control closed for now. I don't suspect that your coil is the problem here, I think it's more likely that you're experiencing wicking issues if you're getting burnt taste less than a day into vaping on a new coil.
I agree with everyone else that the resistance of your coils seem unusually high for 32g wire, so I think it's safe to assume you have 34g wire (could be 36, but 34 is more likely because that is what Imeo sent out with the first few batches of ody wire to Bruce). Your coils look fine, but going forward, I wouldn't bother heat-treating the wick, but rather heat up the resistance wire with a cigarette lighter (before twisting it with the nr wire, hold your lighter so the tip of the flame engulfs the wire and move the lighter from end to end on the strand until each section of wire starts to glow orange before moving on).
If you have better results with dripping, I'd continue dripping until you've gone through at least a couple of ml through it to ensure that the wick and coil are fully broken in, and then try it with a tank. If you have the same issues with dripping, switch juices and repeat the process.
If you need more R wire, feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll set you up with 32, 34, and 36g kanthal, I've got tons of it on deck.

This 17-watt rwechsler
Do you like vaping eruption?
17-watts is the lower end of the spectrum for me. Flavor is incredible at 0.8-1.0ohm/3.7v, but I just fiend the clouds and heat that only 6 and 7.4v coils can provide! Around 20-24w is my typical range, but I'll go as high as 28-30 if I'm really feeling dangerous
I tried to 28 watts.
Then a long time to come to his senses.
All receptors are burned.
Now vaping 8-10 watts.

Yeah, if I start vaping anything else, it usuallys takes me a week or 2 to build my back up to handle such high wattages xD
