Not saying it won't go lower, but there's a reason the datasheet lists minimum resistance as .5ohms, and just making a guess you're probably exceeding the amp limitation of the circuitry.

Ok, i thought the limit was .3 ohm for some reason. So in theory, if i rebuild and it is a .8 ohm coil it should work fine?

From the dna30 data sheet:

Error Messages
The dna 30 will indicate a variety of error states.

Check Atomizer: The DNA does not detect an atomizer, the atomizer has shorted out, or the atomizer resistance is incorrect for the power setting.

Shorted: The atomizer or wiring are short circuited.

Check Battery: The battery is below 3.1 volts. It probably needs to be charged.

Weak Battery: The battery sags excessively when firing. This typically means the user is not using a high rate battery, or the battery is old and degraded. It can also mean the battery is not making good contact.

Too Hot: The DNA 30D has onboard temperature sensing. It will shut down and display this message if the internal board temperature becomes excessive.

Too low power setting: The DNA 30D puts out a minimum of 4 volts. With low power settings (7 to 8 watts) and low resistance atomizers (below 2 ohms) the DNA will sometimes be unable to provide a low enough power output to be power regulating. If this is the case, the Ohms display will be flashing. The device will still operate.

Device resets: If the battery is not able to power the device at the desired setting, or the battery is excessively discharged, the device may go immediately into a low voltage shutdown. If firing the device causes the screen to blank out and then display the welcome screen, you should charge, replace or upgrade your battery. This is especially common at power settings above 20 watts.

Ok, but im using a sony vtc4. Could it also be the battery holder?

I've not used that battery holder....you could take the holder out of the circuit and see if that helps.....the wires in the holder pictures looks like they may not be 20 or 22 gauge but hard to tell.....too small of gauge wire will have an effect also as well as resistance of the coil spring of the holder.....the Keystone battery holder seems to be popular with those building dna30's....low resistance....

I actually added 20 gauge wire to it. I am just gonna go ahead and order one of those and see how it fairs. Thanks for your help
