Ohm jumping on RDA

[edyle]

I've had it for about 10 months now, and the rda i've had for a month. The mod hasn't given me any problems with ohm reading. It has to be the rda

when you screw down a new coil and fire it up the first time, you tighten the screws after firing up because of heat expansion.

I took out the build i had, cleaned it, and put a new one in. It read out to be 0.24 ohms and it stayed at that, which is good. However, when i tightened the screw on the center post, the post began to wiggle a bit from over tightening. Is this bad?

It only wiggled while you were turning it, right? If so, nothing at all to worry about. I think your original problem was related to your washing it in water, although that's just a hunch.

I just took out the build, cleaned it, and put a new build in and made sure the screws were tight. The ohm is staying at 0.24, which is good. Now, the center post is wiggling a little from tightening it too much. Is this a problem?

a rocking post is not a good thing;

looking at the design I'd say you probably just need to screw in the centerpin from the bottom to tighten that thing down

Yea, only when i tightened it down and gave the final turn the post twisted a bit.

I tightened the 510 pin as much as it could go though
