    Cen-Tech Multimeter from Harbor Freight

    WillyB, I meant someoen's better off using an estimated # of wraps of which gauge kanthal vs the $2 HF meter, which is true if they get a useless defective version a lot are claiming. I meant it as a temp fix untill someone gets a better meter. Anyway, carry on.

    one ego shorts with atomizer, but a different battery works.

    I read less wraps = higher ohms and thought it was wrong, but that person had a lot of posts, so I believed it. Either way, I tried everything from a tiny 1 wrap loop up to 13 wraps and everything in between and nothing worked. The ego still works fine with stock factory-built kanger T3 heads...

    atomizers working on one battery but not a different one.

    shoulda posted in other thread in case anyone every happens to search for same problem, but anyway, someone else suggested the same thing, but it didn't help. I cleaned it with 90% alcohol, tried loosening it with an exacto razor blade, but it dint' work, and I don't know if it moved up a mm or...

    atomizers working on one battery, but not another. Can't purposly pop coil.

    shoulda posted in other thread in case someone happens to have the same problem and searches it later, but anyway, that^ didn't work. Thanks anyways. I could mimic that and better by just almost puling out the last piece that completes the head build (the metal pin that goes into the rubber...

    cross posting because I still haven't solved this thread that doesn't get as many views as this General Discussion forum. Thanks in advance. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-issues/383403-one-ego-shorts-atomizer-but-different-battery-works.html

    one ego shorts with atomizer, but a different battery works.

    All I can think is that this older (3/4 years) battery doesn't work with A-1 Kanthal. ? With all the different # of wraps I tried, I must have gotten within the ohm range of the factory-built kanger and vivi nova heads that work with it (1.5-2.8). I tried a tiny loop with no wick, just...

    Cen-Tech Multimeter from Harbor Freight

    I read if you turn the selector dial a full turn, it fixes it. That didn't fix it. It still jumped from hundreds to negatives while trying to get the lead-to-lead # to subtract from the coil reading. It also jumped from hundreds to negatives when trying to read the coil resistance. I spun...

    one ego shorts with atomizer, but a different battery works.

    ^It's a Kanger t3 head. "I cut back the + and - ends of the kanthal as flush as possible" I just meant that I trimmed the excess kanthal inside the ego threads so they're weren't sticking out to touch the inside of the ego threading or battery and cause a short. + is positive and - is the...

    one ego shorts with atomizer, but a different battery works.

    now I'm more confused. The battery works with a stock-built 2.8 vivi nova head (and 1.8 and 2.4). I have 32 gauge a1 kanthal, but no multimeter. I read "A typical 4/5 wrap* with 32 gauge Kanthal will generally be around 1.8 ohms". The battery didn't work for that. Then I tried only 2 or...

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    my hemp hasn't been mailed yet, and all my stock silica coils were shot and the silica burt, so I ended up boiling some 100% cotton q-tips and it works better than silica. It takes long to soak in between hits, but I could of compacted the cotton less. I wrapped the coil loosly around the cotton...

    one ego shorts with atomizer, but a different battery works.

    ok, thanks. I guess, IOW, it's got a built-in protector, and I have to make the ohms a certain range for it to work. I'll figure that out when I get my multimeter. Any insight about the rest about not being able to pop the coil on purpose or a flooded 510 well on the battery?

    one ego shorts with atomizer, but a different battery works.

    I have 1300mah vision spinner eGO-type VV and a non-VV PT 650mah standard eGo I built my first coils. I don't have a mutlimeter yet, so I searched and found that 4/5 wraps should give me my target ohms, so I did that. To test the coil, I put it on my 650mah just in case it were to break...

    Vision Spinner ISSUE!!!!!!!!

    Did you click it 5 times and lock it? It may be out of charge. Try a different outlet/usb. Does the button light up without anything attached to the battery (atomizer/tank/cartomizer/clearomizer/etc)? If the only way it doesn't light up is when something's attached, the coil's likely...

    vegans can get big

    A lot look skinny but they might jog, cycle, or do yoga or something. These guys aren't going to get as big as steroid guys or guys who shoot stuff like insulin instead of roids. They just eat good and work out and don't take stuff that's bad in the long run. Top 10 Vegan Bodybuilders - YouTube...

    An analog multimeter still needs a battery to check atomizer ohm?

    Much thanks. I'm using a 1300mah Vision Spinner Variable volt. I'll be done with the T3 heads pretty soon and then using the smaller type that just screws into the main assembly, but wanted to learn.

    ^yes, I get that, but am hoping for some insight on the post above yours. Thanks

    "Vapeonly BCC", 3.5ml bottom coil in T3 style.

    ^ try the protank threads, but I think Sun Vapers said on his website he's looking at March to even place an order plus the long await for China mail. European, Australian, and even Canadian vedors had the Evod about a week before the USA ones did, so if you want to pay a lot for shipping, you...
