If they are contact coils, then that is indeed possible, (until you have strummed them that is), as some of the wraps will be shorting.
Your final resistance being 0.17Ohm.
Have you bedded them in and checked for hotspots before you put cotton in?
Once done, take the tank off the mod, put it back on and check the ohms again.

Take your batteries out and put them back in. Once it's wicked with cotton and juiced it should be around 0.17 ohms
Do you recommend spacing them? Do you think the flavour is in any way better? I know it helps with spitback.
This is where I get my popcorn and watch ...

Thanks everyone
Why not try winding some 3mm plain round 28G Stainless wire coils ... a 7 - 8 wrap coil will come in between 0.8 to 1 Ohm, (with two of them between 0.4 to 0.5 Ohm) ... I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the result
I am also recommending the above. There are times when plain wire just works better than fancy coils.
Simple single wire coils, contact or spaced will work very well for low to medium W on just about anything. Nothing wrong with fancy coils but there are times when you can shoot yourself in the foot. Sub ohm, high VG, direct lung, heavy flavours work well with builds below 0.2

I must say, I shop primarily at Vaperite and Vape King since there are branches of both close to my home. Neither has ANYTHING in Stainless Steel. I was very surprised. Premade preferably since I've never made my own coil, but am willing to if I can find a SS spool somewhere close by.Why not try winding some 3mm plain round 28G Stainless wire coils ... a 7 - 8 wrap coil will come in between 0.8 to 1 Ohm, (with two of them between 0.4 to 0.5 Ohm) ...

That is basically what I have. My juices are all 70/30 desserts or fruit. My salt nics / mtl juices I have the Holic mtl / Nautilus GT which are .80 and above.
With the loss of taste that you have, a 70/30 mix will have very little flavour carrier due to the low PG ratio. Stick to 50/50 and MTL until you come right.
Even I can wrap a coil, so give it a go ... you've mastered wicking already
You could try 3mm 26G Kanthal ... 7 to 8 turns should give you around 1 Ohm or;
3mm 28G Ni80 ... 6 to 7 wraps will give you around 1 Ohm
Two of the above in parallel will give you roughly 0.5 Ohm, and you'll probably settle for around 15 to 20Watts
Vape King have the Coil Master Competition Wire packs, (see below), in 22, 24 and 26G ....See if you can lay your hands on a pack of the 26G wire, else;
Vaperite stock 28G Ni80 wire in both 30 and 100ft lengths.
I used some of the 26G Competition Wire about a week ago in a Zeus single, and was very impressed
I am using the caliburn at the moment and I do taste something, so thank goodness for that. I have had the odd cigarette the last few days (forgive me) my mother in ICU and my dad not well either, stressfull times I couldn't resist. TAtebuds are coming right already and my brand new TWO strawberry milk tastes AMAZING in the drop dead at about 80-100 watts. Banana milk amazing too!
Haha! no, I haven't lost my mind completely YET! I used the coil that came with the Holic 0.83 with some salt nic and not amazing flavour compared to the caliburn. I will keep working at it. My wicking sucks big time (as does my coil placement) but I'm working on it

I will hunt some SS down soon enough

Make a 3mm 6 wrap dual coil and tbolla you can do TC mode

I got 30G n 36G due to stock issues. My go to is 24G SS
If I missed it. Sorry, bit what tank are you using?
I intend to use the ss coils in the Holic MTL, but also wanna try them out on the drop dead as with these super low builds the batteries really don't last for longer than a few hours.
I got the Vandy Vape ss316l 28ga as that's all they had in stock. Hopefully it'll work out
For MTL that seems a good option. In DL mode you'll have to triple or quadruple or even twist your wire to get a decent vaping resistance or else it'll just get too hot. @Stranger is an expert in these. Maybe he can show you the light.I intend to use the ss coils in the Holic MTL, but also wanna try them out on the drop dead as with these super low builds the batteries really don't last for longer than a few hours.
