cant lock resistance on ipv5.

[aalmosawi]

on my ipv5 i made a single coil for the tsunami and wanted to try out tc.
well, when i come to set the resistance (lock) it wont let me go to the number it shows.
my coil reads 0.08
but when i hold both buttons to lock, the lowest it goes is 0.385 .... why doesnt it go below that to 0.08?

According to the specs it should (just) be able to work with a resistance that low, but 0,08 is ridiculously low..what kind of wire are you using and what kind of coil did you make?

nothing special really. i just thew on a 7-8 wrap ss wire (316L) on the tsunami for the sake of doing a cotton dry burn test.

while i was doing the cotton dry burn test it was actually giving me the the "dry coil no liquid" error on the screen even without cotton on the coil and i was like wow this thing is so great.

then after a hour or two i realized i hadnt locked the resistance.
when i came to do so i ran into this issue.

when i hold both up/down buttons to lock the resistance it should take whatever resistance it has and go with that. but for some reason it goes to the minimum of 0.385... frustrating.

another side issue with the ipv5 i have is the battery door is too damn easy to slide off.

To get down to 0.08 ohms with 316L using 7-8 wraps, you would have to use 16g wire (assuming a 3mm single coil), which is incredibly thick. Are you sure your resistance is 0.08? A 3mm single coil 7/8 wrap with a more conventional thickness wire (24g) in 316L comes to about 0.38 ohms.
