Yep but for the same length of wire it makes no difference whether they are micro coiled or spaced apart.

I was under the inpression like DiscoDes that the resistance would change if the coils were touching, that was until I played with the calculator.

Good to see it Proved in practice.

Making the coil nice and tight and close together also gives a better all-round even heat distribution, doing it differently would make it just a basic coil.

Your right but I wasn't commenting on the type of coil and which was better, just that the resistance wasn't effected by making them tight, it was commonly accepted that it would be lower.

0.32mm aka 28awg is the best IMO.

. So for weeks ...I've been trying this ...heating and squeezing heating and squeezing then checking the resistance ..only to see it hadn't changed ...and thinking I'm doing something fundamentally wrong then I find this thread only to read .....it doesn't change the resistance ....how foolish do I feel

Couldn't use the link but I get all mine from link below they've got a table showing mm to awg.
