For wire I use 26g and 27g https://www.stealthvape.co.uk/product-category/rebuildable-supplies/vape-wire/
These are the best scissors I have ever used https://vaperbay.co.uk/collections/...tton-shears-coil-clout?variant=47245090160978

I've got those. They're good. Very good. Getting a bit blunt after a couple of years though, so I'm debating going for some of those ones @vapervince is on about

Something like these? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fishing-Braid-Scissors-Cutting-Portable/dp/B0DCZH3PZ2

fwiw....just made another with 6 wraps (down from 8 wraps) and it comes out at 1.35ohms (target is 0.8ohms).......amd I doing something wrong? coil too tight or summit??

Online calculator suggests 7 wraps (someone advised 8 wraps)......I'm below both, I'm confused

I'm getting better, this one fires almost instanly on a puff! I suppose I'll just keep lowring the wraps until I get somewhere near 0.8, no biggy.

Those look more like pliers, the ones I have look like normal scissors, you may need to make a trip to a carp angling stores so you can see what you`re buying, they`re common enough, the Korda ones on ebay look like the right ones

That`s the way, trial and error, the numbers are just a guide, it`s what comes out of the drip tip that tells you when it`s right.

Cheers lads.
@MHL was right, 4 wraps gave me 0.9ohms! Good enough for me
