It's still two legnths of wire. Its just easier to keep tension even if you fold one long length of wire versus two separate shorter lengths

The 32 gauge triple parallel is a 12/11 wrap 2.5mm (36wraps total/12x3)

Ahh gotcha, I'll have to try that then.. sure will be a lot easier on me then actually holding two pieces of wire -.- So with your triple parallel did you just use two separate pieces of wire, one folded over and just one single strand? Going to order some of that 32g and possibly some 28g right now off of that site.. those prices can't be beat. Thanks for all the help man, seriously! So many great vapors on this forum c:

Yea, one folded and one seperate

Just to screw with you.
30 gauge, 3mm ID, quad parallel :D for today's vape.

Working with 32 is a bit rough for beginners I would suggest getting some 30 if you want to go small

30g would still be pretty nice for parallel builds though right? I'm gonna do 11 wraps this time, hopefully it'll fit in there better if not I'm just gonna say screw it and go back to the simple stuff until I get the right type of wire to actually do these things. What RDA are you using man, the deck and posts look nice.

Yeah, 28 gauge should suit me better on my RDA. duel 8 wrap parrell on a 3/32nd would get me 0.35 ohms. Time to order me some and hope that the moments of trying this again will be better next time :D
If you have a Michels craft store nearby check out the Coil Gizmo, its like 9$. Some aligator clips and zip ties make it a coil making beast.

By the way, with your logic of a 0.8 ohm at 50 watts being better then that .35 at 50 watts, would the same still be if I was wrapping a normal coil on a 3/32nd? Would a 8 wrapped .5ohm coil be better then a 0.35 ohm 6 wrapped?
The logic is simple. Cover as much wick as you can (staying inside the width of the air port pointing at the coil). While at the same time keeping the mass as low as possible.
