Good work sep! Glad to see you are not just being spoon fed. My understanding is that it isnt as simple as matching a pot to the resistance of the relay.
"As the frequency of the pulsing rises the DC resistance remains constant, but the inductive reactance increases. This means the Total Ohms (impedance) of the coil when the motor is running will be a vector addition of the constant DC ohms (resistance) and the inductive reactance (impedance). The best thing about inductive reactance is that while it impedes current in direct relationship with frequency, it does not cause power loss due to heating. That is, there is no associated I^2*R losses with impedance, like there is with resistance."
Im not sure if Im correct but I think the relays coil gauge would be altering your circuit in peculiar ways. Keep testing!
I think it might be interesting to try some really small capacitors on the trigger leg too.
