quad coil questions

[bbaumz]

If I want to build a quad coil with a final resistance of about 1.5 how much does each coil have to be as far as resistance levels are ??? Please respond because I'm all ready and set up to do it right now and also I only want to have the final resistance 1.5 because I don't have a ohm meter and roughly 1.5 is the lowest the smoktech did will read out

um... no one is gonna really have an answer unless you give more information.. How are you going to know what the resistance on each coil is if you dont have a meter?

Well I'll make each coil the same amount of raps so if I do about 6 raps that's about 3ohms with the wick I'm using so if I make each coil 1 ohm will that give me a final of 1ohm?

are you using using a parallel or series circuit?

 

[DKP#]

for parallel circuits with all R values the same
R_TOTAL = R/N
Four 6 ohm coils in parallel will be 1.5 ohms

To be safe, you really need an ohm meter. There may be better deals out there but this one is in stock. Then you will know exactly where you stand.

This ^^^.

Put a different way, 2 coils together have a total resistance of half of each coil.

4 coils together have a final resistance 1/4 of each coil.

You're going to need thin wire (high gauge or AWG number) to get a 6 ohm wrap for each coil.
