Russian 91% Driving Me Insane

I actually have a little jig setup that I use made of a surgical clamp and a 14 gauge syringe needle that builds perfect coils every time. I developed it for rebuilding the protank heads that my other mother(close family friend) uses in her tank. She's in her 60s so I rebuild her tank heads for her so she doesn't waste her limited income on new ones, and she keeps me supplied with delicious, nutritionally terrible things that I can eat. Years of rebuilding my old vivi nova heads, and now her pro tank ones have resulted in me spinning off coils that look like they were designed by a computer and made by a robot.
What a nice puppy you are.
Statistic's design was more of a gesture than a coil to be vaped.
I bought it from here: Russian 91% Rebuildable Atomiser by KEBO V2 (NOT SPRING LOADED CENTRE PIN) Northern Vapour
It is an original and not a clone.
I'm moving from EVODS (or attempting to) that are 2.4ohms and I used to power them at around 4.2-3v.
I will today - Look at the insulation block, try another coil that has 12 or so wraps (using the supplied kanthal with the russian) and I will supply pictures.
Thank you everyone who has chimed in with your opinion/advice - its much appreciated.

So an update....
Tried one coil on a 1.4mm or so drill bit with 30awg or higher with a 11 wraps and got a reading of 0.9ohms, wouldnt fire.
Tried again same drill bit but 21 wraps. it was reading stupidly high (around 8ohms) so via trial and error I kept on shortening it until it read 1.8-2.3 ohms. Its now sitting on 1.9ohms and firing
However, it is very slow to actually heat up even with 4.2v+. doing some test burns and the vapour production is pitiful.
So on one hand I have come to rule out that the russian is faulty & its my terrible builds that are the root cause for atomizer shorts.
However I dont understand why its so slow to heat up and why vapour production is so poor?

Try wrapping around something bigger, should try to be around 6-9 wraps for better heat up time
Sorry about that rc3po. I wasn't dissing your coil, just trying to help.
No problem. That coil vapes great the way it's setup. I like my cotton right behind the juice grooves. I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but it works good for me so I always place them that way.
I use a 2mm also. 30 gauge with 8 - 10 wraps. My new Fluke 87V says it's 1.9 Ohms. I think I wrapped this one with 9 wraps but I don't remember exactly.
One thing - make sure that the positive block hasn't turned to make contact with the negative post.
Kinda obvious, I know, but it happens
