Resistance chart.

[Duchess440]

I am a noob looking into rebuildables, I haven't found a resistance/ohm chart that I understood. What does AWG mean? Is is the same as gauge? I will also be buying an ohm checker soon to help with this but I really want to get a good understanding of how to get certain ohms before I even start.

Greetings Duchess, welcome to the forum.

There are a lot of good resources on ECF on this topic, the following files include a chart explaining wire gauges and a spreadsheet showing the resistance achieved by lengths of various wire thicknesses.

There's also a very good thread about Kanthol: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rebuildable-atomizer-systems/320042-resistance-wire-kanthal-nichrome.html

AWG stands for American Wire Gauge.
One of the best resources I have seen on here is:

Best of luck!

The link above is very informative. Granted it may give you reason to ask even more questions, but it's a good starting point.

If you're going to get into rebuilding, you at least want to be safe and have some knowledge on the subject.

Good luck and have fun, be safe.

There is a lot of information on rebuildables here also: **Sub-Ohm Vaping** Discussion, Safety, Battery Info, & Warnings

It's not just about sub ohm builds, lot's of other topics there too.
