That is an awesomely informative link. My little blowtorch will become a productive tool!I think we have officially hijacked this thread

to everyone that replied here, thanks a bunch! i've actually tried to ask this question before in various formats, but this is proof, if you ask the question correctly, you will get the right answer.
@VapeTownZA thanks for the info on the Twips rebuild. I have to say, you are a master of words because I could easily understand exactly what you were saying, it probably helps that I have tinkered and taken the entire Twisp setup apart and assembled it before
@RezaD thanks! that is invaluable as I do not have the correct equipment yet, so I can risk another Twisp battery using your info PLUS
@Dr Evil for the info on the app, did not know it existed, that is exactly what I need!! Harooh!! This is Sparta!
@MarkK what is that? I vuntz eet!!!! how big is it more or less? bulky?
@Andre one question remains, and i think you have this answer, how would i use a multimeter to measure the ohms on something like a twisp rebuild? someone mentioned before also something about the inner resistance of the meter itself? you're not speaking to someone familiar with playing with multimeters, FYI.

There is an app for pc which is similar, not sure about ios though. I just need to get to my PC at home then i can let you know what it is

Using a meter is easy. Set it to read Ohms, put the ends of the leads together so it touches and when it gives a steady reading subract that from your actual reading (one lead on the bottom of the coil pin and one lead against the casing of the coil). So for example my Fluke reads 0.2 Ohms when I touch the leads together. So if I measure a coil and it says 2.0 Ohms the real reading would be 2.0-0.2 = 1.8 Ohms.
I don;t like the vapers toolbox app much. To me this app is spot on: http://www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp
@bjorn not too big at all will mesure now... 18cm from base to tip
Its a russian 91% on top of a nemisis mechanical mod
@VapeTownZA unfortunatly i cant take credit for that coil, just an internet search to show what is out there

Glad you got good answers. As to the multimeter - I have never used one, but from what I understand on what was posted here: Set the multimeter to read resistance. Touch the 2 leads of the multimeter together and take that reading. Now measure the resistance of the coil on the cleoromizer. Subtract the first reading from the second one to get the true resistance. Here is a video. Many more vids on YouTube:to everyone that replied here, thanks a bunch! i've actually tried to ask this question before in various formats, but this is proof, if you ask the question correctly, you will get the right answer.

thanks again everyone for all the info. @RezaD @MarkK
@Andre you're quite a whizz at finding stuff on the internet! it helps knowing the right terminology to search for though :/
i'll update you guys on how my twisp coil rebuilding goes this weekend. excitd by the idea that i can put a longer and better wick in the stupid thing.
i have one small nagging little question still. do the amount of coils bring down the ohm reading, or push it up?

The more wraps the higher the resistance/ohms.

ohh YeS! tooo good! blowtorch pizza. i'm going to do it to make toasted cheese on bread. ...but i think i need a better blowtorch, maybe one of those propane torches like the sushi chef there.
I don't mess around with heating the coil first I blitz it fast with this!!!

Ah man busy busy with work. Still getting to it. Will have to be soon, on my last coil. There's some more info in another thread I started a while back. On my phone now so can't find the link. Think it's called, rebuild a twisp coil, if you want to search for it. The guys gave me some additional helpful info.
