In electronics, leave nothing to chance. Do you have a gauge tester? Can you eyeball 26 vs28awg? Doubt it? A coil is actually an air coil inductor. While the straight resistance is unaffected, you are creating capacitance which interacts with resulting magnetic fields. The aforementioned can be researched in very basic HS texts. Like an earlier post, you can lead a horse to water,
But you can't make him piss !
