Hi guys
I bought my aunt a vivi nova but it needs re wicking, now the last thing I used was an ody with ready made wires
I have some 3mm wick and some .16 nichrome wire, but I can't remember how many coils I should do for a 2.4 ish ohm
Thanks in advance guys

Not too many on a 3mm wick, and .16 is quite high resistance, which is useful for such a small space, doues your wire state ohms per metre on the spool?, if so divide by 100 for the centimetres required.
Failing that 5-6 wraps around a single wick should suffice.
