    RDA's - Loose Screws and Broken Leads....Help!!

    UncleChuck knows his stuff Make sure there are no sharp edges on the ends of the screws Sand them off if necessary Sharp edges will definitely cut into the wire and cause a break You want the screws to compress the wire slightly but not cut into it I'm going to check my screws right now

    Ohms changing when adding liquid, am I doing something wrong?

    1.5 to .6 Ohm Thats is a big drop I would say the coil is somehow shorting to ground big time Adding liquid might change the resistance ~.1 Ohm Thats been my experience

    Cotton users: How often do you change your diaper?

    Have to change cotton and clean the coil about once a day I've been dripping dark Halo juice that gunks the coil in a little less than a day But it is tasty, especially when the wick and coil are clean

    Unmarked coils measured (Ohms) with new multimeter

    You do need to subtract the test lead resistance from the measured resistance with this meter Try holding the test probes tightly together and note the displayed resistance Do not hold the ends together with your fingers because this will put some finger resistance into the measurement My meters...

    Where can I find various sized O-Rings?

    Thats the problem, its hard to figure out what size you need. Theres also Metric and Inch sizes to further confuse the issue. The easiest way is to take the atomizer to a good hardware store.

    Where can I find various sized O-Rings?

    They are the same. Usually the o-ring specs are given as: Inner diameter X Cross section (thickness) 1mm X 16mm must be a typo since an o-ring with an ID of 1mm and a CS of 16mm is impossible

    Coil building station

    I put one elastic hair band over the wire on all my wire spools (its a keeper) It is adjustable and keeps the whole spool from uncoiling (total PITA) Tie a small loop knot in the band before putting it on the spool (makes it easy to grab and adjust)
