With a microcoil you are essentially shorting all of the coils and creating a shorter path for the current to travel, so it lowers the resistance. That's how I understand it anyway.
Hmm... I have some prezapped norez/rez/norez wires rated at 1.5 OHMs for use in my Sophia and they come out as 1.5 ohms no matter how I wrap the coils. They look pretty tightly packed to me. Will try again tonight and see if I can test this theory - assuming I don't crack all the ceramic cups trying to do it (again)...
