Generally with clapton coils, the inner wire is your resistance. The outer wrap doesn't affect anything. I can't remember who told me that but I made a 26ga center with a 32ga outer wrap. When I put the coil on Atty I just used the 26 ga when counting my resistance. I was going for a .4 and it came out to a .45 to .5 when done.
