Don't use steam engine for NI200, yes a bit of experience but quicker for me just to make a coil on the atty, read it and +/- a wrap or two and make a new coil if required.

Right I'm wrapping around a 3mm screw driver - one legs is 11mm the other is 13mm so say 12mm, according to steam engine my coils should be coming out at .11 so I'll get some more info for you in a moment banditruss. I've got four coils by here I made this morning, on my mod they come out at 1 - 0.11 2 - 0.12 3 - 0.11 4 - 0.10 And the one I made last night in my tank is .09 now Is that Vape Mesh Co wire? Give it a clean with acetone or IPA first, I find some of their kanthal even needs a rubdown with we & dry paper.

I tend to just put my coil over the stove.

Try cleaning it, look at the crap on the paper towel and you will know, oxidisation/corrosion can affect the connection quality, I just clean it as it's not what I want to vape and sometimes tastes nasty depending on which batch of wire.

I haven't had a problem with it according to my results earlier in the post? Been pretty much spot on? Because I don't shoot for ohms, I build a coil for the atty and air flow .2 for duel .3 for single and haven't had a coil I couldn't fire yet. Wanted to go low on the SX to test a few day ago so twisted some .3 think 6 wraps come out at .09, undone 1 wrap to get .07...for me that was quicker than entering it all in steam engine.

Okay cool I'll give that a go, I've not had a problem using it when building on an rda when I'm out and about with nothing to heat up but I'll try it and see if the flavour improves

I see, it wasn't me asking though I was just trying to help out banditruss with starting off as it can be quite annoying when starting without a little help from a calculator, I prefer thicker wire to work with so 26g I find is quite nice, I didnt work it out with steam engine to get that I just made a coil with 10 wraps it was a bit low for my likeing so added another wrap. But to try and work out what banditruss wanted I worked out my coil on steam engine and then tested a few to see how accurate it was
