OK, so i have been trying to use up some 26g kanthal so thought i would give some twisted wire coils a go.

Twisted up 3 strands of wire, made a coil, 5 wraps, 3mm ID, ohms out at around .3 as expected.

I was really liking the way the coil was vapping so tonight i thought i would stick a new coil in an RTA for out and about, i wanted this a little higher in ohms so did 10 wraps, 3mm ID which should be .6, my issue (sorry for babbling on) is it is ohming out at .3 same as the 5 wrap coil, tried it on a couple of mods and few tanks.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks
 
Just wondering here, could the coil be touching and completing the circuit before it reaches the post?

And have you also used the free online tools at steam-engine.org ,just to check?

Coils look good, but i am not sure to be honest

Yep i use steam engine to check what i should be doing :)
 
Did you take it off, press fire button then put back on. Could be the mod not picking up the change.
