Quick dumb question about twisting wire

[Dagger]

As I want to drop my builds lower, I need some fatter wire.

I have .2 .25 .27 and .3 too hand.

So this may sound daft but here goes,
If I twist some .2 does it become .4?
Twist some .25 to make .5?

Roughly, yes.
Though thicker wire can result in slower'ramp up' whereas if you wound each coil as a parallel, you get lower resistances but faster ramp up(time taken to heat)

Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

Select your wire, and change to round, twisted/parallell in the drop down list

Then the twist pitch and no. of wires twisted together, thickness of what you are wrapping the coil round, etc and it will calculate the resistance of your coil.

Just had a go at a parallel coil, just a single.

6 wrap .3 parallel on a 2.4mm screwdriver, .7ohm
Nice vape actually
