RDA Coils touching wall of my RDA? AM I GONNA BLOW UP?

[jujment699]

As the title states, i heard you shouldn't let you coils touch any other part of the RBA besides positive and negative posts.

This new RBA i got has this design that no matter how small my coils are or how centered they are they always are nicking the side of the cover when i put it on. I've vaped it a couple times... but i don't wanna blow up. Is this okay? Is this a crap RBA? Seems pretty popular. I've twisted and stretched, even ran coils with lots of extra wire on the end for stretching, but no matter what... they touch the metal in some way, whether it be the well, or the cover.

Definetely should NOT be touching the wall or the deck at all. Could and honestly SHOULD be shorting it if it is touching it, and shorting is never a good thing. Rebuild and try again. More info like what type of rba and a picture would be helpful for future posters

Dont use it and post a pic.

If it's an issue, your multi/ohmmeter should have let you know. What's the resistance? Significantly lower than you were expecting?

It would help - a lot - if you actually told us what RDA is it. And posted a picture of what's going on.

A short is NEVER a good idea, what RBA is it?

Everything's looking alright...


Put the walls on, still looking like i have room.


But i then theres the cover with these little hooks...


And thats when it touches...


Excuse me for the file size but stupid imgur only has large and small...

The issue im running into is the little nooks are to control the ventilation, really its an excellent idea. But no matter where i rearrange them... they always seem to at least nick the edge.

Its called the Mutation X RBA - By Indulgence
I got mine here: Mutation X RDA Rebuildable Atomizer by Indulgence

Fortunately, I only pancaked a coil doing this. It was a short and the coil pancaking was my only protection. If you cannot figure it out get another topper. I wish your pics were larger. Maybe the thing is asking for a vertical build. They are just as easy as any horizontol but a tad more finicky to wick....kind of.

Be Safe!

U can shorten the negative leads so the coils are angled in

Bring the coils in from the edge. Oh, that's what Heespharm is saying as well (-:

Yeah the coils don't need to be parallel to your posts

Looking at that image, I don't see how you are touching the top cap to your coils. They look plenty far enough away from the outside wall. Here's an image of my MuteX. They look closer than yours and they don't touch the top cap.

Just center the coils better like in jaxgator's pic.
