Target Resistance

Strang though, my twisted Kanthal at 0.38 gives a better flavour hit than my fused claptons that iget to 0.13

Correct! ... It's all about Surface Area and Heat capacity, to which you have a greater surface area with a twisted coil

The examples below all use the same length, (99.9mm), and gauge, (26G), of wire

I always found surface area is a big contributing factor for flavour especially with RDL and looser MTL but working in tandem with the airflow and overall design of the tank! With some specialised MTL tanks a little Alien or fused Clapton is wasted due to how the airflow interacts and superior flavour can be had using a simple spaced round wire coil.

Agreed! ... In small volume MTL chambers I still choose plain round wire, and typically 6 wraps max
