It's nearly impossible to make a calculator for coils such as the Clapton as there are so many variables to include. The pitch of the wraps and how tightly they are wound around the core wire will make a difference in the overall resistance. As for twisted wire coils, the pitch of the twists will alter the overall resistance as it varies the amount of wire being used thus altering the effective resistance.

Basic single stand coil resistances vary by 5 factors assuming all coils have the same target diameter and wraps (wire purity, pitch of the wraps, how tightly they are wrapped around the mandrel, leg length). Multi wire coils also need to consider the wrap pitch and how tightly outer wires are wrapped around the core wire. And all types have variable resistance due to temperature.

The best advise I could give is to use a calculator to approximate your coil of choice then adjust up or down by a wrap to suit how you are building your coils and/or buying your wire.

welcome along another grumpy ol sod is just what we need in here Im off to tut loudly at kits welded to ther mobiles on the bus into town in a sec

you gotta have a grain or 2 of sympathy for the ageing hipsters they only have a decade or so before they wake up to a beer belly and a wardrobe of smart jeans, beige trousers n blue checked shirts

ps matlan have a good deal on blue check shirts atm
