Twisted will halve the resistance - you can also fit dual coil to a single wick - which will also halve the resistance but it a bit fiddly to do. So if I were to twist the 0.20 I have, and wrap it 4 times around the wick it should give around 0.75 ohms? Maybe I should try that for the drawtube... Anything to be wary of before I try it? Will obviously check it with the multimeter before trying it, but what are the "danger points" of twisted wires? If any? Don't think it would be plausible to get a 1.2ohm head on the evic without having a serious amount of coils (12 wraps!) So will still need to order some wire... As a guide, I use a 4cm piece of Kanthal D .20 and get a consistent 1.6? reading. If I cut two (2) 4cm pieces and twist them together, I end up with a .07-.08? reading. Same 4 cm length of wire, 1/2 the resistance. If I use 1mm wick, that is MANY wraps, with trebled 2mm it is not so many. so YMMV. Good luck I |
