Weird issue with prebuilt coils

Figured this would be the best place to ask this.

So I have some prebuilt Wotofo coils.

Framed Staple Clapton
  • N80
  • 0.33 ohm
  • Inner Core: 28G+38Gx9+28G
  • Outer Core: 36G
  • Internal Diameter: 3mm
The legs were long enough that I could add a wrap with each leg. When I did this the ohms read at .28 when the original was .33. How is this even possible?? Adding two wraps should have lowered the resistance not raised it.

If you didn't cut the wire it will be close to the same ohms....adding wraps doesn't change anything with the same length of wire...and 28-33 ohms is within reason after tightening the coils down, glowing, etc.

Makes perfect sense. And thinking about it now I feel pretty stupid.
