So I have a 3.7v 2500mAh battery and I bought it yesterday and built me some new coils at .09 resistance and I was trying to see if my coils were burning evenly. nothing. Pulsed it. Nothing and then my entire mod got hot within seconds. My coils and rda was cool. The contact pin to battery has been melted. And battery no longer works. I don't know if it's a bad battery or what. Can someone help me understand if my math was off. Or it was right and it was a bad battery.

Hi Makaela and welcome to the forum. I don't have an answer for you but it would probably help if you listed the maker of the battery, the mod/device, and the maker of the rda as well as build was single coil, double, twisted, clapton etc.
I don't know what battery you're using, but a build that low would be pushing 46A at full charge. But if your coils were still cool, I'd venture to say you had some sort of short prior to the 510. What mod are you using? If you are using a TC device then .09 would be alright. We need a little more info.
Is that the SMPL?
If so even more danger. No centerpin.
You're shorting out your battery.
Can you post a pic of the plume veil 510? My bet would be it's the simpl hybrid top cap issue. The battery top shorted to the neg of the RDA 510.
I
Also what your of battery is it? Much more info is needed that is a dangerous situation just starting with the .9 build
.9 is wow low definitely sounds like a short with the instant mod heat up ,

Agreed , I have a smpl I use daily and my plume veil does NOT go on it the 510 is recessed and does not protrude the 510 a definite no no
Would ypu recommend since I still am learning that i stay around a .10? I obviously did not understand that the atty was not compatible. The people at my local vape
Shops just have pretty faces so I've had about 3 days in person learning from my brother in law and the rest online

Please don't touch that thing.
You are messing around with danger.
Both of these posts! I have 2 smpl mods I use daily and I am extremely careful with what Attu /battery/build goes on them they are one of the most dangerous mods if not used correctly it is a pipe bomb a hybrid connection must be treated with extreme care I use a darkhorse Atty with dual claptons at .22 and I test my atty resistance and centerline very day whether I rebuild or not , also nothing but 100% garunteed sony vct4s go into my smpl mods (I unwrap check for authenticity and rewrap them myself so I can check the battery visually )
You're dealing with a mechanical mod. At 0.09 ohms, there is NO battery on the market that can handle that low of a build. You're very lucky that the battery didn't go into thermal runaway and go completely nuclear on you. Get a new battery. Get Sony VTC4s from a good source such as RTDVapor or Orbtronic. Repair or replace your RDA. Then build new coils, but keep them above 0.5 ohms. Learn Ohm's Law. Read everything you can find on battery safety. STAY SAFE!
Here, I'll get you started with a bit of 'light reading':

Go to those profiles and click the tab for blog entries. All of them. Read them, absorb them, understand them. Take notes if you must. But, PLEASE don't wrap another coil until you do so. If you have any further questions on any of it, then feel free to message me on here and I'll explain it to you as best I can. I'd rather we both take the time and gain a full understanding than for you to endanger yourself with another unsafe build. Please, don't take this lightly: you got lucky this time and only damaged your RDA and battery. Next time may very well have much more serious consequences.

Yea you know I came here for help thanks. Sorry I trusted someone who worked at a shop and sold me the atty and battery amd sleeve and everything i own. Not really okay for you just to say please stop and offer no help.Please stop.

I would stay about a minimum of .4 until
You can build the same build repeatedly and cleanly to check for shorts , you got lucky you did not get hurt from a hard short on a smpl mod (most vape shops have people in them that know nothing about saftey , I've seen them sell horrible setups and battery's to new users with no experience and build them a .7 build not even knowing how dangerous it is)

No. 0.10 ohms will NOT get you out of danger territory. I'd like to alter my previous post and say stay at 0.5 ohms for now. I'd actually prefer that you learn to build at 1.0 ohms... but I figure you'll probably laugh at me at that point...
