Clapton wire.

If i remember rightly when i used the superfine mtl clapton wire (vandy vape i think) in my berserker i used to get about 0.7 ohms off a 5 wrap, cant remember if it was 2.5 or 3mm id though and was defo ni80. Still got some somewhere i think. And if memory serves i used to run it at about 16w ish.... Been a while since i used it though, still sat looking all matchy matchy on a black pico squeeze that still works lol.

Need a picture of the 1.50-2.00 thing on the wire spool and we should be able to tell you what it means.

And I would say 5 to 6 wraps as well, so your coil is covering the space between the terminals

How do I put up pics?

Ok, as far as wraps go, its always a debate
This is how ive seen to count a coil

But if u will notice when u look at in from one side it only has 5 wraps or 6 wraps from the other side, so it might be listed as a 6 wrap coil, a 5/6 coil, or a 5.5 coil, or a 5 wrap coil as on top
As depictected here caling them 6 wrap coils.

Technically for it to be a true 6 wrap or 4 wrap coil the legs have to point in opposite directions.
Steam crave will let u put in half wrap coil counts tho i believe, but it makes only a slight difference

Brill thanks a million

30ga is the thickness of the the core wire and 38ga is the outer wrap thickness I think 1.50 -2.00 will be the ohms

Ohms are comin in at 0.96

Mine is coming in at .9 ohms. Think there is 6 wraps on it .

Pulse it and see if it drops a bit if u worried about the diff

Yeah that’s the ohms 1.5 - 2.0ohm it varies depending on the length of the legs that go into the terminals. That’s just a rough estimate. You can never tell the exact ohms until it is fitted in the deck and tested with a mod or ohms meter. 1.5-2.0 is for a coil that is made with 5 wraps, at 2.5mm Inner Diameter.
