Dual coils won't fire

[Herbage]

Hey I have a 4 prong haze deck and I am fairly new to this so not really sure what's going on. I made up my coils and started with one side using the skip a prong method to the positive and I fored it and turns my cool red so I did the same to the other side and now when I fire my battery says Lou which my manual says it does when battery needs charged but my battery is full. I follow a video just for the drip tip I had and I did exactly as they did in the video but it will not fire with two coils. I can't figure out if it's the battery or what

Sounds like your 2 coils are too low of a resistance for your battery to fire them, so it's refusing to.

What's the resistance of your dual-coil setup? And what kind of battery are you using?

 

[DavidOck]

Regulated mods all have protection circuits built in, and will shut down if it sees too low a resistance. The value varies depending on the mod, but I agree with twgbonehead, what you've built is too low for your mod.

When building dual coils setups, keep in mind that they need to be darn near exactly the same value to work properly, and that when they are, the final resistance is half - so if you've built two 1 Ω coils, for example, the final value is 0.5Ω

My ohm read 0.27 and idk what the battery is it look like a cheap one it came with my e-lvt and they charged me 12$ for it

Which version of E-LVT do you have?

I agree with these answers. First check your units specs and see how low of Ohms the battery can fire before it shuts off automatically. What device do you have? What Is the ohm reading of your coils? I do hope you have a ohm reader. You really need to always know the ohms of your builds. If you don't have a ohm reader you can get a good digital one with a 510 connection off Amazon. Com for really cheap. First see if the problem is too low of ohm limit. If that's not it there are other things it could be. But let us know if that was the problem so we know if you need farther help in troubleshooting your set up. Best wishes

I have the dovpo and it's the 2.0

What wattage are you running your 18650 battery at? If you tell me the wattage, I will tell you how many Amps your pulling.

I tried different setting right now it's at the highest wattage 30W and I have tried 15W and in between

 

[realsis]

Do you know the amp limit on your battery? Is it a 18650?

 

[realsis]

At 30 watts with .27 ohms your running 10.54 amps. What is your batteries Amp limit?

That's the problem; ohms too low.

•Atomizer recommend: 0.3-1.0ohm for 15-30W, 1.0-3.0ohm for 7-15W

 

[realsis]

Try a build with higher ohms and see if it runs it.

it says NCR18650B

How do I make a dual cool with higher ohms? Les wraps?

 

[Susan~S]

You need to be using a 20A IMR or IMR/hybrid battery in your mod.

You also need do some homework. Understanding battery safety, Ohm's Law and amp draw and how they are interrelated is essential when you are rebuilding EVEN WHEN using a regulated mod.

If you are new to rebuildables I highly recommend you spend some time with Baditude (one of our resident battery experts) and visit his blogs. Baditudes Blogs.

nope - MORE wraps for more resistance, or thinner wire...
Here's a calculator you can use to PLAN a coil - it's just an estimator, you still need to check it...

That battery you have.... is it a lime green color?

 

[Herbage]

Try a build with higher ohms and see if it runs it.

Hey thanks a lot I build the dual and got it to 60 ohm and she's firing perfectly

 

[Herbage]

Yeah cheap one I'm guessing
