Kanthal A1 wire resistance help please.

[izzy11]

Hi I have rewicked my kanger T3's and need to know this:
How many wraps of 0.2mm wire to equal medium resistance 2.1-2.3ohms ???
I am not sure ie if 4 wraps=low or high, 5=medium
and what 6 wraps =??????
Thanks, sorry if I have used the wrong words, just new to this.
And where can I get a cheap multimeter where I can screw the atomizer on to test resistance.

You sort of answered your own their 4 or 5 wraps should see 2.0 to 2.4 ohms or their abouts, you can buy a multimeter off ebay for less than a fiver, there's also some good how toos on u tube on using one

Hes right generally I use .2mm kanthal 4 wraps will give anywhere between 1.5 to 1.9 ohms depending on the length used per wrap 5 2.0 to 2.4 as my whit77 stated, just to add the thicker the wire the less resistance per wrap.
