It's a half wrap because the legs are pointing in the same direction.If i were to enter this into steam engin, would it be an 8 wrap, an 8.5 wrap, or a 9 wrapView attachment 222844
Sorry about the number, i guess i couldve used a 6 wrap example, but i have a picture of this
Ive also seen it written that its only a half wrap when they point in opposite directions. Thats one of the reasons why i asked the question to begin withIt's a half wrap because the legs are pointing in the same direction.
There are some folk that count the number of wraps slightly differently and I too have at times come across differing opinions.Ive also seen it written that its only a half wrap when they point in opposite directions. Thats one of the reasons why i asked the question to begin with
No different to how I can imagine 99% of us build coils. A calculator is the starting point and reference. The final result will in most cases always read slightly different because of the tolerances of several factors.For my purposes I use a wrap calculator to get an idea of what the resistance of a coil I intend to make will be.
The actual resistance will be different due tolerances of the wire I use, and the position / length of the legs to suit the atty.
A lot of the time I use single coils, for my favourite RDA I like a 0.3 ohm coil, so use a calculator to determine the number of wraps I will need for wire gauge, coil diameter, etc.
If the coil actually comes up at say 0.29, or 0.32, what the hell do I care.
I am not a purist, and get the vape result I wanted.
