I finally learned how to rebuild my coils inmy pyrex aro 2 tanks and kanger mini today and how to wick them. But myquestion is what doi want the ohms to read? Most of them arereading 2.3 but I thought they needed fo be 1,8 or 2.0? I am using 32 guage and wrappin about 4-5wraps. Can someone loews point me to the right way.
What ohms ???

It's pretty much whatever you like in this situation. Use the 2.3, if you want it warmer quicker make the next coil lower ohms.
Whatever you want really. If you're using a regulated device it won't fire below a certain threshold, so you don't really need to worry about wrapping something too low.
How do I make them lower ? Do I wrp them more or wrap them less ? Please let me know
I just happened to have a tab open with this. Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators
I use 30 awg on my kanger coils 7 wraps gets them right around 1.6 to 1.8 for the most part.
Ok so the more wraps the less it will be is that what is being said? Sorry I am so new o this
Give it another 2-3 wraps. Shoud be lower. If I was you I'd shoot for 1.5 to 2 ohm abd see where that takes you
I think you will want to go with 30 gauge Kanthal. I would try to keep your coils between 1.5 and 2.5. Your 2.3 ohm coils will work fine.
Lower your wire gauge (I.e thicker), find a smaller/skinnier wrapping post, and do 5-7-ish wraps, and you will be right where you want to be. 
Play with Steam Engine, linked above, to see the effect of different Ga wire and number of wraps.
Well I'm just going by what his steam engine calculations are to get a 2ohm wrap. Says 7.31 wraps for 32 gauge
Lower your wire gauge (I.e thicker), find a smaller/skinnier wrapping post, and do 7-ish wraps, and you will be right where you want to be.
Good point! What are you wrapping your coils on? You can change that on Steam Engine too.
omg there is so much i have to learn right now, not sure i that technical to ever make my own coils wonders if hubby would do this for me he hates anything about smoking but he is so happy that i'm vaping instead of smoking now
Steam engine is an awesome tool.
I wrap my coils on a mini-paperclip (just started that recently, used to use a full size safety pin). Kind of a pain in the ..... but I'll be going to Home Depot this week to find something similar in width but much stronger. I use 26 ga kanthal with 8 wraps and it puts me right around 0.3 every time.
My resistance is wayyyyy to low for the op though, so go check out this ------> Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators
