Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? I cannot do the calculations right on this one. Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't understand what the problem is here. Why can't you use the coil calculator?
Single coils:
28g, .9ohm: 6/5 wraps on 2mm, 5/4 wraps on 2.5mm, 4/3 wraps on 3mm (not super practical)
26g, .9ohm: 9/8 wraps on 2mm, 8/7 wraps on 2.5mm, 7/6 wraps on 3mm
You wouldn't typically make a ~1 ohm coil with 24g wire, but you could do a 10/9 wrap on 3mm for .9ish ohms.
For duals, just double the wraps. For example, if you want a .9 ohm dual coil with 28g and want the ID to be 2mm, make two coils with 12 wraps instead of one with 6. Each coil in a dual coil set up will be twice the target resistance; i.e. for a 1ohm dual coil, each individual coil should clock in a 2ohms.

I did try to use one. It kept coming up wrong. Thank you for your input though.
Do you know why it was coming up wrong, and what do you mean by wrong? They are invaluable tools, so knowing how to input variables is essential. Were you using the one I linked to? That is pretty much the gold standard.
Steam engine is a great guide, a good rule of thumb. Each individual build will differ from steam engine results due to all the many factors involved. I use Steam Engine as a guide, mount my build then check on an ohm checker or one of my mods to see how it actually came out. It's usually in the ballpark. Dont worry if it is not spot on. It rarely is.
