what wire do i have :(

[geordie_vaper]

the lable on the spool is all wet and i dont have a ohm checker or a mod that can check resistance, on the spool all i can make out is 0.3a and 25m any one got a idea what wire this is sorry that i dont have more details

It sounds like you've got 25 metres of 0.3mm kanthal

sure does so start coiling what are you waiting for come on make a start don't let the north east down come on get a move on

ok thankyou one more thing 7 wraps on a 2mm drill bit would give me roughly what ohms

i really need to get a ohm checker but my ft one decided to break on me today

[chrisde]

I ran that through a calculator
Assuming it's 0.3mm Kanthal A1 (AWG 29).
7 wraps around 2mm should result in 1.3 ohms + legs, so maybe 1.5 ohms installed.

ahhh thankyou

9 gave me 1.8 ohms
^^^^^
Expert now !!!

so I am correct with : the thicker the wire the more wraps you need to get the same ohm ?

Thinner the wire for high ohms using less wraps
Thicker the wire for low ohms using more wraps

I'm totally thick! I still don't get it!!! Its just one of those things I can't get my head round. Read this six times and it might as well be alien speak :/

Just think that the thinner the wire the harder it is to squeeze the electrickery through therefore more resistance!

DITTO   I dont think my brain is ready to absorb more vape info? I'm still a bit dodgy on mixing percentages and batteries for mods but least i'm getting there! wire wick and resistance seem beyond me still. Hopefully i'll get a eureka moment one day................  ???

Cheeky sod! But yes, far too technical!
