Perfect timing on the vid! I just built my first two
coils. 30ga kanthal, one with six wraps and one with ten smaller diameter wraps. The six wrap came out at 1.3, the ten at 1.4. I was pretty happy till I tried to deal with gauze

I am going to get some regular cotton for super .....in wicks. I wish I saw the vid before...but it's still helpful!
The gauze works amazingly well, but it's a pain.
