Hi Folks. I've read up some on coil ohm readings fluxuating on RDAs. But my new IgoW seems so simple, particularly as I am building single coils for now just to be safe and comfy. I wrap 32g kanthal; four five or six wraps, and get a range of ohm readings from just over an ohm to about 2.5. wish I could get smaller increments but that's ok. I'd really like to be at 1.5 or so, safely above an ohm, low enough for some oomph. The issue is -- my concern is -- the different readings I'm getting with my ohm meter (the type with a screw on 501/ego connection) during the building process. I'll take a reading right after installing coil, and get one reading. often though after test firing it I'll put it back on ohm meter and its way off, up at 3 or sub ohm. Sometimes I'll move the coil a bit or tweeze the coil tighter, and understand at some level that this can change the reading. Sometimes, often though, I'll get totally unexplainable ohm changes.
So my reading now is 1.05. That's concerning in that if it shifts downward on me, I may end up in very sub ohm territory. I'm just not ready for that. I have a good handle on protank rebuilding but this is my first rda forray. The Igo W is really simple, you got kanthal guage, number / diameter of wraps, leg run length, and two screws on the posts. What the hell can be accounting for my readings shifting? crappy ohm meter? I do have a proper ohm meter, works great for keeping an eye on battery charge, but for ohms I'm having a hard time using it.
Can anyone give me a sense of the variables to lock down to keep my ohms where I want them? Thanks!
