Hi guys, my EHPro Atomic rda came in yesterday and it's a beauty, but I have no experience building RDAs and only know how to build a kayfun. I had trouble last night building it and want to know if there's an obvious step that I'm missing because I fired it up and the coils were glowing nice and red the first fire, but I believe there was a short because on the second fire, one of the tails connected to the post sparked up and burnt off which obviously ruined the build.
1. I loosened the screws on the three posts until the holes below were accessible.
2. I wrapped 26g kanthal 8 times around a small screwdriver and inserted the tails into the post holes and out the other side.
3. I proceeded to tighten the screws onto the kanthal and pushed my coil upwards so it wouldn't touch the deck or the posts themselves.
4. I cut off the tails from the other side.
From there I proceeded to fire off the device.
Is there any step I'm missing? Is there a certain drill bit or wrap number to get between the ranges of .4 to .8ohms?
