Need help from experienced builders - this is my first time building coils. Built two 1ohm coils (24g Kanthal, 3mm inside diameter, 10 wraps) to get my target resistance of 0.5. It's reading the resistance but it won't fire the damn thing. Why? It's a hybrid rdta (vgod tricktank pro rII)

Double check the settings on the mod, is it in temp control mode, is it locked, etc.

On the RDA, make sure the post screws are tight- but not too tight; if you tighten too far you'll snap the coils.

Check that the coils aren't touching anything but the posts.

Double check that the mod is actually making a connection to the tank. Some mods have floating pins, springloaded pins, etc; and may need to be finessed a little to connect to the tank.

If you're sure they're connecting, Clean the connections on the mod and on the RDA with a little alcohol and a cotton swab.. Try again.


If that doesn't work, it could be a problem with the insulator.. Some cheaper tanks and RDAs have used shitty plastics that can melt when exposed to sub-ohm temps too long.

Haven't put it on any mods - just the 521 mini tab. Apparently I was being a huge pussy and not holding the fire button long enough on the 521 - I was being too careful/paranoid. Thanks for the reply, though this thread done.

Have you tried vaping a bit of bleach to treat them?

Is that a fucking ohmmeter for mouth fedoras? Does it make you feel like an EE?

Idiots.

Are you giving him shit for trying to be safer? Really? Someone on a DIY board is trying to make sure they dont explodinate a battery in their face and you are giving them shit. Are you the same type of asshole who would call someone a pussy for wearing gloves while welding?

I can't treat people building their own coils seriously.

As a smoker the least amount of bs possible is desirable. My setup is just cheap and shitty enough to work constantly.

Aspire Triton 2 tank + clapton stainless steel coils (coils about $1 and last a month)

eleaf istick Temp Control 40watt battery

iStick TC40W

The temp control part is important.

Enjoy your flavoring filled bandwagon while it lasts. You look like a giant douche when you walk around vaping.

What's the point of this?

You can only vape to a point and then it reaches flash point.

I can't wait till we find out how much this causes cancer.
>>
>>1171455
Because you have the switch on "read" and
not "fire".

>trying to make sure they dont explodinate a battery in their face

Buy products designed and built by reputable manufacturers. Then don't fuck with them. Repair only with like components approved by the manufacturer.

There's my advice.

>Idiots.

> defends vaping
> calls others idiots

The irony is just too powerful.
Also I just want everyone to know how much contempt I have for anyone even vaguely interested in this 'hobby'.
