wouldn't twisting two pieces of 32 gauge kanthal increase the resistance of the coil for the same amount of wraps as if you only used one piece of wire?
twisting 2 pieces of Kanthal together for a coil.

Its like cheating your way to dual coils. Normally to get a lower resistances in a coil you would have to reduce the number of turns with a twisted wire your cutting resistance in half letting you maintain a good wick to wire coverage.
So in theory, if 8 wraps of single kanthal gave me 2 ohm, 8 wraps of twisted kanthal would give me 1ohm? Are there any benefits of using twisted kanthal? seems to me like it would just be using more wire to get the same result. I am very interested in this though. This is new to me.
Its the taste..... I think it gives you a better tase.
I wrap with twisted wire and its pretty cool. You need to twist it up more than the photos Ive seen above though. Put a cotter pin in your drill, feed the wire, doubling the wire and make a piece as long as your arms can handle it, then, while keeping preasure on it, start the drill and keep the drill twisting until it breaks off. It will break off at the cotter pin end every time. This twist will be so fine that most people will have to look close to see that it is two wires twisted together.
Do it.... Its reall Cool !!!

Well, my curiosity has been tickled... gotta try it now
The resistance will actually be slightly higher than half. Each of the two strands of twisted wire are a bit longer than the length of the twisted wire itself.
Well did my first twisty wisity timey whimey Doctor Who build with 28 AWG Kanthal on my flashi rba, came out to .9 ohms, so far favorable impression. Could only get a bit over 12 watts out of the Provari because of the Amp limitations so kicked it at 15 watts on the Origin. Getting more vape production on an already excellent rba, flavor seems right up there even with fresh Hemp fiber wick that hasn't been broken in yet, so am happy so far. Think I have enough twisted left over to re-build my Aqua, so will see what it does in the .3 ohm range next. Time to vape the Aqua dry and mix up some more juice.
It does take a tad bit longer to heat up the coil, but it retains the heat longer so when chain vaping it doesn't really effect the vape time. Going to have to get another spool of wire though if I keep this style of build up though, lamo and drop my nic levels again.
