I'd start with an 8/7 wrap coil and check it on an ohm meter then adjust from there.

is that an 8/7 wrap for a single coil at .4 ohms or an 8/7 dual coil for .4 ohms?
If it's 91% Titanium, logically it Should be close to the same resistance of Titanium wire?
This mite not be the case, but one would think so?
We know from the manufacture .06mm diameter is 1.8 ohms per foot.
Go to Steam Engine site & use the wire wizard

We know from the manufacture .06mm diameter is 1.8 ohms per foot. I would try to find a wire with similar resistance.

Or just punch in the resistance of the wire and go from there. That's how I got my recommendation for him.
On the manufacturers website it shows this............
Hope it is of some help!
Ti-X is a "hybrid" Titanium alloy (91% Titanium) resistance wire. Ti-X does NOT appreciably climb in resistance, with heat. This mimics the performance characteristics of a "traditional" Kanthal or NiCr heating element. Ti-X still contains NO Nickel, Chromium and minimal Iron content. Ti-X is tailored specifically for VV/VW and mechanical mods.
The X stands for "extreme". We recognize a market for "cloud chasing" and more traditional wire characteristics. Ti-X can be approached (build wise) like Kanthal A-1 or NiCr resistance wires. The total heat output is dependent on power applied, since the resistance is relatively fixed across the elements heating "window".
Ti-X is produced with our same attention to detail, and undergoes our multi-stage vacuum annealing process, as well as our Ultra-Sonic / Steam cleaning method. Ti-X is a VERY "stiff/springy" material. This aids in it's durability, and ability to hold shape over extreme heats and durations of time. We highly recommend using a "coil jig" to wind/form Ti-X.
As with our Ti-Wire (pure Titanium wires), we DO NOT recommend dry burning/firing Ti-X for extended durations of time. Ti-X is still VERY fast (compared to Kanthal A-1) and will exceed it's maximum temperature (and fail) in a prolonged "dry fire" situation. As with our Ti-Wire product line, Ti-X will not form any oxides or deposits (at vaping temperatures) and does not require high heat to clean (just scrub under warm water, as with our Ti-Wire).
0.6mm Ti-X is approximately 1.8 ohms per foot, at 27 deg C.
PLEASE NOTE Ti-X IS NOT A WIRE FOR USE WITH TEMPERATURE CONTROL OR TEMPERATURE PROTECTED devices. IF YOU REQUIRE OR DESIRE A TEMP CONTROL COMPATIBLE WIRE, PLEASE SEE OUR Ti-WIRE LINE-UP.

I used the "ti-x" wire to build a 10 wrap dual coil around a 3mm jig. it came out at .45 ohms. it is the only build I have done that hits smooth on my 26650 dual series mod, which can't go below .3 ohms. all the other coils I built on that mod hit too harsh to use. even store bought 1.2 ohm coils (.6ohms each coil) fire too harsh to take a long hit. the only builds that allow big and long hits from this device are the "ti-x" wire and the coils that were sent with it that are .53 ohms. however I don't know anything about the coils that came with it. I have also just built a 12 wrap dual coil build with "ti-x" around a 3mm jig to hopefully get to .53 ohms. I won't know about those until after I install them. also, after trying dozens of different coils the only ones that aren't to hot to hit are the "ti-x", go figure
after trying different builds with the "ti-x" wire I have determined that it is the ONLY wire that hits smooth on my dual series 26650 mod. so far I have only built rda's on my series mods with "ti-x" from .40ohms to .60ohms. I have built a few dozen coils with kanthal and nichrome in different gauges on my series mods with poor results. I have also used aliens, claptons, and others from many different ohms. after almost giving up on all my series mods I am thrilled with all of them now that I am using "ti-x" wire. I am now using my series mods exclusively with "ti-x" wire in those rda's I am more than pleased and would highly recommend this wire to anyone using a series mod.
Update: I installed the ti-x wire I built that is 12 wraps on a 3mm jig in my armageddon elite II rda which is made for series builds (I say series builds because of the large interior design). I am using it on my dual 26650 series mod. this build read out to .50 on my ohm meter. so far ti-x wire has proven itself to be the best wire for a series mod. I highly recommend this wire to anyone using a series build. ti-x wire is the only wire that gives me a hit that isn't to harsh in a series mod.

I just built dual coils with ti-x that are 10 wraps around a 3mm jig. they measure .42ohms. I made this build to see if my dual 26650 series mod would make bigger clouds while not getting harsh hits. i was pleasantly surprised to see noticeably larger clouds and the hits were just as smooth as my higher ohm ti-x wire builds. next I will make 8 wrap coils around a 3mm jig with ti-x and post the results.
I wound up, no pun intended, wrapping 9 wraps per coil with the ti-x wire around a 3mm jig. this dual coil is .4ohms. it is just as smooth to inhale through as my 12 wraps and 10 wraps but with even bigger clouds. I'm not sure if I'll be building any lower ohm builds with this ti-x wire. this current 9 wrap .4ohm setup is so enjoyable to use. I am not currently getting harsh hits but at some point if I keep lowering my ohms I am afraid I might. if I go lower than 9 wraps I'll let you know how it performs. I can't build below .3ohms since I am using a dual 26650 series mod. for my own peace of mind and safety I probably won't ever go below .35ohms.
