Wraps for Twisted 28g microcoil around 1.1-1.5 ohm?

[LReyes66]

Im not a complete newb at making micro coils as ive been rebuilding kanger coils but my Russian 91 comes in tomorrow and the first coil setup I wanna do is a twisted microcoil using 28g. My target ohms as I have a provari is around 1-1.5 ohms.

I know twisting the wire makes the resistance even lower and that twisting 28g can easily make it sub ohm resistance. I only wanna use 28g cause I have 100ft of it and don't really wanna go out and get 30-32g and use more money.

I'm gonna be using a 5/64 drill bit (2.0mm diameter) to wrap it and was wondering if anyone has expierence how many wraps would be the target amount to get around the ranges I want. 12+ wraps?

Thanks

About 7-8 Wraps on a micro coil gave me 1.3 Ohms

I get around 1.4 ohms with 12 wraps of 28 gauge (non-twisted) on a drill bit that size.

With it twisted it is going to take a lot of wraps to get that resistance. With a single piece of 28 gauge I get around 1 ohm with 8 wraps on a 1/16 drillbit. Depending on the diameter of your coil you are probably going to need 15+ wraps

Are you sure your referencing twisted 28g?

A 6/7 wrap of twisted around a 16 gauge luer lock needle gets me in-between .6Ω - .7Ω every single time. Cross my heart.

Haven't gotten my hands on a drill yet but I was expecting 12 wraps on twisted 28. I guess I'll do 15 to be safe

I think you're going to have a hard time fitting 15 wraps of twisted on a russian. I have 8 wraps of twisted 32ga on mine now and it's sitting at 1.5ohms and 7 wraps of twisted 32ga on another one sitting at 1.3ohms. 1/16th drillbit for both.

Mmm I was thinking of doing a chimney coil setup since its what I currently have ATM. Would that work or will the added thickness twisted still cause a problem?

Thickness shouldn't be a problem, but I'm not sure about the height with 15 wraps. Gonna take a while to heat up too. If it fits, I say go for it and see how it works out. Just watch for shorts from the chimney.

Don't twist the wire. You can get what you need without twisting it, and doing so might not work too well (as others have said). If you want to try a coil with twisted wire and those specs, get some 30 gauge.

not sure if i've missed the point entirely, but THIS has a neat "go to" chart for wire ohms per inch.

True. Only reason why I wanted to try it is to try something I haven't done before and create a fog machine lol. I figured more surface area would do that with twisted. Also for taste and warmness like rip tripper has described.

I'm using a 0.7ohm coil with twisted 28gauge in 2 kfl's.. works fantastically awesome...but that high with 28 isn't going to work well...

on that sized drill bit, I'll venture to say that 12 wraps will get you to the low side of what you're shooting for. I wrap on a 2.5 mm pin punch and get .6 ohm with 6 wraps using twisted 28 ga.

IMO you should try a twisted coil on a dripper first. With the 28 gauge, it will essentially make it the resistance of 26 gauge. Anything over 1 ohm will take a ton of power to heat it up. I would just go for a vertical microcoil with non-twisted 28 gauge for now. If you were running it on a mech and had 10+ amp batteries, I'd say go for the twisted 28 at about 0.7 ohms.

i made my first twisted coil on my dripper. single coil 28ga. 5 wraps is all i could fit for 0.57 ohms. the advice to use 30ga might get you better results. or just dont twist.
