Coil build question

[Phil Robinson]

Hey guys&girls.
Today I made a coil with 26g kanthan.
I twisted two strands together to make one long twist, I then cut it in half and lined them up next to each other as if I were about to wrap them parallel. Then I got a single strand of the same 26g and placed it in the middle, put it all in the drill and twisted that all the same way as I did for the twisted wire. I have no clue why I decided to do this but it’s amazing, it reads a 0.18ohm as a single coil. Is this a coil that’s been made before as I’m fairly new to building. Thanks

Anything that vapes good is a win in my book.

So, to summarize, you have 5 strands of 26ga Kanthal - twisted. Has anyone done this before? There's a lot of vapers and coil builders out there so very possibly. But I don't think anyone here would begrudge you if you wanted to name your new coil. How about the "Robinson coil" - Double twisted, parallel, twisted coil. Or "triple twist with parallel".

Building coils is fun. Being able to be creative is a huge part of that.
