In general you have to double the diameter of the wrap wire to the core wire to account for resistance of the wrap wire. With 2 core wires the wrap is more significant with more core wires as a percentage of the total the wrap is less significant.

How do you determine the resistance of a wrap?
Jan 28, 2017 · 1187 Hundertwasser. @TarekElsakka You can calculate the target resistance of a clapton using steam-engine. In a clapton only the core wire carries current, so just put in the numbers for the core and that will give you a good estimation. If you want accurate use the wire wizard, though you may also get a headache .

How many wraps on a vape coil?
Feb 17, 2016 · Once you calculate how many wraps you need, it’s a simple process of tightly wrapping the wire around your drill bit or coil jig. One complete turn is one wrap. Also make sure your wire is not overlapping when you wrap your coil. The resistance is determined by the number of wraps, the diameter of the wire and circumference of the wrap.

How do I know what resistance coil to use?
If you prefer a low wattage level, you'll want to use a coil that has a higher resistance level. Coils that have a higher resistance level heat up more quickly, meaning that they can burn out if the wattage of your device is set too high.Sep 10, 2018

Rebuilding Atomizers – Step One – The Wrap
I’m happy to report that I was given the green light the other day to continue on with this series on learning how to rebuild atomizers. The series will, hopefully, teach you not only how to rebuild any atomizer you choose to work with, but to also show you that it does take a lot of talent to do it, only the desire and commitment to do so.
Methodology
The way of I am going to teach is is to break it down into various exercises, to assign, not homework, but an exercise that when you complete it you will be able to easily apply that skill when the time comes. The first, primary, yet most important part of rebuilding an atomizer is learning to make good wraps.
Wrapping A Coil
In its basic terms, rebuilding an atomizer is the simple act of removing the burned out wick, which is material wrapped with a coil/wire, and putting another one in its place.
Preparation
When the time comes to really wrap some wire around a real wick you’ll have learned about preparing your wick, whether your wick is made up of stainless steel mesh rolled up into a tube shape, or some other wick material properly prepared, but I don’t even want you to have to worry about these things right now.
Two Ways To Wrap
Guide To Vaping – There are two methods I use to wrap a coil. One way is to take a wooden match that you would use to start a fire in your fireplace, about 6 inches long or so, and the smaller wooden match that you would see in a box of matches that you can carry around in your pocket. These are the sizes we want to start with.

Kanthal Resistance Wire is cheap. You can buy 32 feet of it in a small spool for $7.99 at MyVaporStore. 32 feet will last you a long time.
Kanthal Wire Resistance Chart
This chart will show you the approximate resistance of different sizes of kanthal wire as well as different lengths.

I also have these charts on 2 PDF files. One has 3 charts on one page for printing, the second has a single chart on each page.
Do vape skins have sleeves?
It’s important to note here that vape skins are not vape sleeves. Vape sleeves are made from rubber or silicone and they offer more in terms of protection. Being thick and rubberized, vape sleeves will protect your device from breakage, bruises, and paint chips. Unfortunately, they will also cover it completely so your fellow vapers will not be aware that you're sporting the newest toy in the neighborhood.
Can you send in your mods if you don't have them?
Again, if you don’t, you can simply send in your design and have it custom-made for you.
What is a matte finish?
In terms of finishes, there are also a couple of choices you can opt for: Matte finish – a non-glossy, non-textured finish that will help with slippage. Shiny finish – a glossy finish which will make your device sparkle (slightly slippery). Color shifting finish – changes color depending on the angle of the light.
Can coil legs make vapor taste harsh?
Having longer than necessary coil legs can make your vapor taste metallic or harsh, so it’s best to try to keep your legs as short as possible whenever you can.
What is a clapton coil?

Is heat flux evenly distributed?
The heat flux is more or less evenly distributed over the resistance wire. Hot legs are undesirable, so the power used to heat the legs can be regarded as “lost”.
What is advanced mode?
The Advanced mode allows you to change the preset resistivity of the wire itself, you can use this if you are using a wire type which is not listed in the material and profile drop-down section.
What is the best wire for vaping?
Stainless steel wire is the most versatile among vaping wires. This is the only vape wire that can work both wattage and TC modes, making this wire is ideal for those who are still choosing between TC and wattage mode.
Is titanium bad for vaping?
The use of titanium is a frequently debated topic in the vaping world. Titanium releases titanium dioxide when heated over 1130F, which is toxic to humans. Titanium has a stable TCR though. This means that if you have a functioning TC mod, you need not to worry about titanium dioxide poisoning.
How to make your own coils?
What do I need if I want to build my own coil? 1 Resistance wire: You can use any vaping wire. 2 Flush cutters: These are wire cutters that you can use to cut close even in small spaces. 3 Ceramic tweezers: This is a tool that you use to pinch your coils while pulsing. You can also use a needle-nose set of pliers or forceps. 4 Torch: You can use a small butane or propane torch. 5 Small metal rod: You can use a small screwdriver or a coiling tool for this. 6 Organic cotton: You will use this as a wicking material. If you have another preferred wicking material, you can use that instead. 7 Scissors: You need the scissors so you can trim your cotton. 8 Ohm reader: You use this tool to accurately detect resistance. 9 Coil Jig: This is an optional material. A coil jig can make coil building a bit easier for you.
What is Kanthal wire?
Kanthal is a popular wire. Many vapers favor Kanthal because it is easy to work with and it resists oxidation. If you are new at coil-building, this is a great wire to start with. It is not springy so it can easily hold its shape. It is also inexpensive and available from most suppliers.

- In its basic terms, rebuilding an atomizer is the simple act of removing the burned out wick, which is material wrapped with a coil/wire, and putting another one in its place. Some RBA’s come assembled with a fully working atomizer, or wick/coil structure, already in place, so all you need to do is test it by attaching it to your APV or multi-meter and checking what the ohm’s reading is.
