No ohms being read?

[Mden89]

I just got my new petri rda and put the coils on that came with it. Installed it properly as far as i know. I dont have an ohm tester however and when i plug the Petri onto my 20W eleaf istick (to try and see if it would come up with an ohm reading) it just said 0.0 ohms.

Is this just because the istick is 20w and cant handle subohm builds?

How do i go about testing the ohms without an ohm reader

The iStick 20W doesn't have a spring loaded connector. Thus, your 510 pin on the petri RDA might not be long enough to make contact with the 510 connector in the iStick 20W. Have you tried adjusting your 510 pin on the petri RDA?

Also, you can trying to see if you can get a connection using the 510-ego adapter that was included with your iStick. Connect your RDA to the adapter, than connect the adapter to your iStick 20W.

This is why everyone needs to at least own a cheap multimeter, 5 bucks at harbor freight 10 at home depot.

But like posted already, most likely a contact problem

Why don't you feel the need to NOT have an ohm reader? Safety first!

It would read if the ohms are too low.
I'd say it's not making contact when screwed down or you have a short.
Spend $5 and get an ohm meter, it's essential for a vaper.

Well i never said i felt the need to NOT have one. I literally just ordered one.

I figured out it was a .75ohm dual coil setup. Its the same thickness as my 26ga kanthal and its wrapped 7 times. It slides right over the cute little blue screwdriver they give you so its 2mm ID. BOOM we have OHMS. Its funny that this fires faster than my plume veil and im getting much better vapor production.

they gave me this monster mouth piece attachment i cant really get into. Im getting a lot of spitting into it

Thank you for the information!
