Hi guys I'm new to rebuildables an I'm having a hard time.. I have a trident clone with 3 posts and I'm trying to get it to 0.6-1ohms and I keep getting 0.2-0.4. I'm not sure how to wrap my coil and if I'm doing it right.. I have flat ribbon that is suppose to be like 28g kanthal and ekowool silica. I've dome 1/2 wraps 2/3 wraps 3/3 wraps and 4/4 wraps and I never get the outcome I want I'm not enjoying dripping at all.. I have hot spots and I don't know how to get rid of them I get a burnt harsh taste etc.. Anyone have any guides or advice that can help me out I'd appreciate it!

I use about 2-3 folds of ekowool when I wrap it it seems like my rda gets really hot so I'm guessin my coil is touching the cap I don't even know how big my coil should be.

Thanks

Another thing to keep in mind is your amp draw on the battery. If you are using a mech with that Trident then you are most likely pulling too many amps for your battery. A freshly charged battery will put out ~4.2V, paired with a .2ohm coil you are pulling 20+ amps from your battery. Not many are rated that high, so keep that in mind. I would strongly suggest getting some regular kanthal asap and aim for >1.0ohms. After you get the hang of wrapping retry the flat wire if you wish.
