So I got my first rba..I build a coil with 5/6 wraps..Measure 2.1ohms on multimeter...I attach it to my Evic and i get .9ohms And atomizer short error message..I included a poor quality pic...Hope you can see it well enough to offer some suggestions, as to what I am doing wrong?
First RBA!!! What a nightmare

I just my first rba a couple weeks ago, and they can be frustrating. But stick with it and once working correctly they are simply amazing in my opinion.
A good place to start is eHuman's Blog E-Cigarette Forum - eHuman - Blogs . I personally found a lot of good information there that helped a ton.

Hey,
Take it easy.
There is an awesome link (above by tflemmer.)
as to how to make it work. Also they take a while to break in the wicks.
The varying resistance means the coil has not got propper contact with the wick and there could be grounding.
You got that link.
P.S If the wick is not wicking correctly the resistance can also vary. Sometimes it helps to drip some e-liq on the coils while burning. This can also help the oxidization of the coil and wick.

The coil is shorting to the wick. That's why it is jumping down to .9 ohms only firing a portion of the resistance wire from the terminal to the short. Best thing to do is make sure the wick is fully oxidized and pulse it and poke and prod the coils with a blunt syringe or a small screwdriver to work the short out. Check out pbusardo on YouTube he shows how to do it in his aga t2 part 2 vid.
Also, make sure that no part of the coil is touching the post except where it connects. If your coil is too close to either post and is touching the post at one of the coils (instead of just the leg that hooks it to the post) then you'll get a short.
Making good looking wick - Easy
Wrapping good looking coil - easy
Getting the 2 to play nicely - a bit tricky.
No shorts/no hotspots allowed or it all goes to pot!
I use this method and, for me, it works well:

Check the positive and negative connections. Be sure that they are tightened down properly.
Once you have that issue resolved, don't be timid with adjusting the coil assembly. Take a blunt dental tool or whatever you may have available and move the individual coils around until they are all glowing properly.

great job and once again persistence pays off. I've been watching video and hope to try it myself soon. Great inspiration.
