DC voltage thru a coil produces magnetic flux, this in turn results in a magnetic field that can stress the connections at the attachment points... tighten the screws a bit after installing and using a new coil... if you continue to use the coil in an unadjusted manner, the magnetic flux inconsistancies can cause subtle shifts in the electron orbits of the wire and eventually cause a black hole to develope and then instead of your batteries exploding, a reversal will occur and your mod will be sucked into oblivion along with your lips and hand....

:evil:
@Bunnykiller even with a regulated mod? Everyone above said it would be safe? The coil hasn't moved at all I tighten everything up and it's now sitting at 0.27. Thanks for the reply!

Good to see you're getting things worked out :)

When I put in new coils what I do is snug down on them as I feel appropriate and then put the atty on a resistance checker. Then I nudge each coil gently with a fingertip and watch the resistance. If I get the wires tight enough nothing changes. If the resistance does change I tighten that coil down a bit until it stops happening.

Occasionally a wire will become slightly loose after vaping it a while. I always use dual or triple coils in my atties. If I'm dry burning one and notice the coils are not firing up at the same rate when they are clean I repeat the process above. Generally I'll find either a loose wire, or with multiple wires per coil (twisted or Clapton) a short between the wires has developed.
