kanthal A1 wire maths check

[adrian_uk]

Is my maths correct , If I'm looking to achieve 0.6 ohm on a dual coil deck with 2 coils , with 24g wire at 2.5 ohm , I need both coils to read 1.2 ohm right , so if im building at 2.5mm inner diameter with 5 mm legs , I'd need near as makes no difference 15 wraps on each coil right ?

Not saying I'm going to attempt this ohm , as 15 wraps feels like way to many wraps and wouldnt fit , Think i f*** up on the gauge..... Just checking my maths is right

Humm. 13.1 wraps to get that ohmage from the 24g wire with 2.5mm coils.

Yeah, 24g is too thick, try thinner wire. Or build lower.
