Okay ladies and the occasional gentleman I am currently using a rather large coil for me something I'm not used to and it's dual coil for the Tengu rda. I'm used to itty bitty coils that heat up really fast. However this is making me paranoid the ohms are reading as they should for what they are and neither my ohms reader nor my regulated mod seem to be in any way bothered by the coils however when I'm trying to heat them up on the ohms reader they're making a vibration sound and it's kind of scary. I didn't notice it on the regulated mod I don't know if it did it I'm not really jazzed to put it back on there until I know why it's making the sound so I'm asking here why are they vibrating while I try to heat them up to make sure there's no hotspot.. is this something that happens or is this like an anomaly I imagine it's metal and it's heating up and sometimes that does cause an expansion right but I've never heard anything like this it's minor sounding but it's enough to Spook me

Here's the image they're nothing real pretty but I don't see anything necessarily wrong with them I don't know if this will help. I don't know how to do the video thing so I can't really post that also I don't know how clear that picture is but nothing is touching anything it shouldn't be I've checked there is an angle that it kind of looks like it might be getting close but it's really not

Ya got me. I’ve never heard coils. Maybe it’s the reader?

I guess I just automatically assumed it was a coils but I will check it with something else later I put everything away for now because I don't know why it's doing that and it's frightening LOL nothing else does that or at least it hasn't it was also really hard to heat it up...

I had a similar problem once before trying to dry fire on my 521.
I had a triple coil atty with 3 claptons in, the 521 wouldn't fire them and powered up as much as it could.
Then a bit of a shaking started with the 521. I stopped straight away.
I checked the battery and noticed it was only at 65% charge so I'm not sure if the low battery caused the problem or if it was that I had too high of a coil mass in my build.
I pulled the coils out of the atty cos' it scared me a little, so I didn't get a definite verdict.
Maybe check your battery charge. I hope you can fix the shaking

I will definitely check it because that makes as much sense as anything sound like a lunatic saying that my coil is basically singing to me but that's what it's doing and I'll check a different coil on the ohms reader to see what that does I'll probably end up just pulling it even though it kind of hurts to do that and maybe even wait until I get my ribbon wire because it'll still give me that surface area but won't be so damn hard to heat up.

If your coils aren't singing to you when you dry burn on a regulated mod, then you have nothing to be worried about

Just use the reg. mod to finish your build and wicking on. Turn the mod off once you start wicking - I did the absolutely perfect wicking job ever one time. And after accidentally hitting the fire button, I scorched the hell out of it

So I understand now why it was so hard to heat the darn coil my battery wasnt fully charged. The combination of the vibration sound and the fact it was so hard to heat up really made me nervous I put in a new battery it glowed as it was supposed to fairly quickly and evenly though it did still make a slight twanging noise. I tried a different deck and it didn't do it but it was a less bulky coil. Thank you for the suggestion because that helped a lot.

Good call on turning the mod off! I was trying to heat it up on a less than charged battery and that was what was making it so hard to heat lol. Derp.. thanks for the suggestion I'm probably going to do exactly that. Thanks!

I'm glad it helped and you got it sorted out

So does this mean you identify as a Coilerina? j/k ya

Ya done good!

Those big boys in the other thread only laugh at my little coils anyway

Let them laugh, you already know it's all in how you use it (them).

I hope the blokes will explain it better for me but I've found the 1mm * 0.14mm ramps up and cools down far quicker than the thicker 0.68mm * 0.27mm

You answered yourself.

I'm happy if the blokes wanna post here, the more the merrier - as long as they don't mind the thread title

If a bloke isn't comfortable posting here ... it speaks volumes about them. Just sayin'

It's official, I'm a Coilerina
I'm even using pink coloured wick now

There hasn't been much winding going on in here
Lift Ya Game Coilerinas
Here's a Ni80 0.8mm*0.2mm ribbon wire 2.5mm ID coil 0.46ohm on a very pretty Brunhilde MTL deck

And here it is wicked up Pretty Pink Wick And All

I don't post because I am the most boring of coilerine: 28AWG kanthal wrapped free hand six times--spaced--around a 2.5mm thingummy.
