Happy Vapor Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Trying to run dual coils on my turbine with 28 gauge kanthal. I have a few mech mods but would prefer to use it on my mvp 2.0. However every time I wrap a dual coil it always comes out sub ohm. I've tried twisted, micro, nano and normal wraps. Any ideas on how to get 1.5 to 1.8 ohm coils?

Joshuab3687 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) You'll have to increase the number of wraps on each coil. A given rule of thumb is that, if both coils are identical in guage and number of wraps, you reduce the ohms by half that of the single coil.

joejoevapekins Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 For me it takes 14wraps to hit a 1.8ish ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Happy, if you're just looking for a target ohm so you can run it on your MVP, you may just wanna stick to single coil setup. When you add that 2nd coil, you effectively halve the ohms of the first. So, like Joe said above, it takes him 14 wraps of 28g to acheive 1.8 ohms. 2 of those on your rda will get you 0.9 ohms. Is that right Joe? Been drinking since noon and my thinker is a bit fuzzy! Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
