Coil Calculator App details

You need to achieve more advanced level in the vaping electronic cigarette.
and need to build your great and the own coil.

Some questions are still there:
- which wire type to take and what AWG?
- how many rounds do I need to make for a certain resistance/Ohm?
- what if I need to switch from AWG to metric or back?

You can get these answers and more with the help of this small app!

For Android devices    Get it on Google Play 

For iPhone and iPad   


Just select different type of wire and simulate your scenario - answer will be promptly shown.  All you need to do after this - just finish the coil assembling!

After you are happy with your new coil, you can always try some other wire, resistance etc

Also, watch for new features coming shortly!

This application takes calculation/mathematic driven approach - please make sure that no shortcuts occurred during the assembling,
Using of Ohm meter device is up to you.

Vaping, smoking etc is just up to you.

  1. Just bought it, works great..
    I would like that you include, in the next update, the ability to save and name different coil setups and maybe even be able to share those saves via email/facebook/twitter etc

    Also, include the width of the coil (there is limited size to fit a coil in, for example, a squape)

    1. im new to google+ so it was pure luck i saw your reply.. you could include popular designs for coils as saved setups included in the app.
      And also, when you save a coil setup, you can take a photograph that is connected to the saved setup, so you dont just have numbers to go on (maybe you bent a leg a specific way) and also be able to leave a note (a header, maybe 30char or whatever the width of the iphone/ipad is, and a note .. like 200chars. ?

  4. Do you have directions?

    I have 32AWG Kanthal A1, lead is 2" long, coil is 3/32"I have 3 wraps, and am at 1.5 ohms. I can't get your app to reflect that even close, or any other coils I've built. Yes I am a beginner, please help.

    1. >coil is 3/32"
      I am thinking to extend diameter to '', not only AWG,
      3/32'' ~ 10 AWG , if to use now

      >lead 2''
      do you really have lead/tail so long ?
      lead is normally defined as shown on the picture
      https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8hsLwn2bFa_UkQyRGJPci0tOTQ/edit?usp=sharing

      if I will take:
      - lead as 0,2''
      - 10 AWG diam
      - Kanthal_A1 32AWG

      I see 1.596 Ohm shown within the app.

  10. Q1: number of coils you are doing in your atty (or number of strands if doing parallell)
    Q2: if you are doing 10 and a half wraps (10,5 wraps)
    Q3: length of the "wire leg" from post to coil
