alright vapors i built a coil that ive been building for a couple weeks a 24 gauge 5 wrap kanthal dual parallel coils on a 2/32 screwdriver and it ohmed way lower than than normal i usually ohms at .18 but i just built one and it ohms at .09 any ideas what it is. is my ohm meter off or just a better build?

Go here and do some calculations. If you sub ohm, you should already know why your coil doesn't read as expected. On a 2/32 inner diameter, you should have 7 wraps on each coil at 24 gauge for a .2 ohm dual coil. Something isn't quite right with the data you posted.
Coil shorts? How are your reading the resistance? Standard ohmmeter or a 510 meter? If it's a standard ohmmeter are you subtracting the lead resistance?
You are in a vaping area where mistakes result in hot batteries. There's no room for screwups and a mechanical fuse generally only goes to 7 amps, so you are vaping in dangerous territory with an unprotected mech generating an 18.5A load. Be careful.

Do you mean 3/32"? because there isn't a 2/32"
5 wraps on a 3/32" rod should be ~.2 ohms with 24g dual parallel coil.

Yeah but who calls it that? It's a 1/16 just like a quarter of an inch is 1/4 not 2/8, right?
I agree, but everyone has different backgrounds and whatnot. Perhaps, the OP works in increments of 32nds? Who knows.
yes i was useing a 510 meter and was not subtracting i for got about that but my addy was also messed up had to get a new one the post started spinning and falling out so it did short
Here's my question: no one else is horrified by reading posts from folks in the "new member" section talking about their .2ohm and lower builds? When did these crazy super sub ohm dangerous builds become so acceptable? I remember less than a year ago when cutting edge, meaning for the seriously advanced vaper only, was .5ohm!
Don't mean to dump on this thread, reading this thread just caught me off guard.
BTW- You do NOT subtract when using a 510 meter, only when using a standard ohm meter.
