Everything looked intact, and yes I took the + pin completely out. All I can figure from the posts and what I found (nothing) that there was a piece of trash/shaving in there that I never found. I put the same coil back on this morning, 2.6Ω, rewicked with rayon, and it is working again. Going to run a couple of tanks through it with it on my SVD, scared me a little with the instant heat from a dead short. Don't think the battery is hurt, its a 20amp Samsung, and was reading still 3.8 volts after it cooled down, charging it now.


No I have 4 different ones that read ohms (have a DVM on order so I can check coils before I mount them), but the SVD was handy last night, and seems to read accurate.

Thanks all for all the input as to what the problem could have been. Still don't know what it was, but it is working again.

Glad your sorted Burnie :)
It's hard to diagnose these types of issues without actually seeing it, so all we could do was surmise.

Well after the mishap last night I am running the Stingray X with a kick and 18490 battery, topped with an IBTanked & 2.3Ω carto.

Anyone know where to get Vape Safe Fuses at a good price, just to be on the safe side in the future. I don't do low Ω so don't need lots of amps, just protection from another short.

Thanks
With freight it was only $6.77, so I got one coming. There other prices were a little high. The Stingray X was $69.95, double the price of the one I just got from FC. But some of there little stuff was not too bad on the price. I bookmarked them for future reference.

Thanks Again

What did you compete in?
And what cert if you dont mind me asking thats really cool me also.

I didn't compete as an all natural bodybuilder, although everyone thought I did because of how hard I trained, and the strict bodybuilding diet I followed. But I was hardcore into the lifestyle, its consumed me for about 3-4yrs, it was my whole life. 160lb/14% bodyfat in the off season, and 135lb/9% bodyfat on season ... that is why everyone around me thought that I competed, I followed the same regime, with the same level of dedication that competing bodybuilders did. But I am like that, I do everything like its my job even when it isn't.

A pinched nerve in my shoulder put a end to it, I couldn't do any overhead presses :cry: My delts and lats were my prized body parts :laugh: But my quads/hams were nothing to scuff at either. Dorian Yates was my idol :D That is why I was so lit up by your deadlifts, you brought me back to good times, used to be one of my favorite sets :wub: Oh I am ACE and AFAA certified.

Gotta luv those Samsung's :wub: I was also using a Samsung when I shorted out w/my 3.1, but it didn't damage the battery like you said. Let it cool down, later popped on the charger, and it performs just the same. :) Glad you are back in business Burnie ;-)

    Paragon mod turned up today, ordered on the 14th, so received in 9 days total :)

    Ordered this for a work mod, and mainly picked this because of the recessed switch as use a holster at work and don't want to keep messing with a locking ring, and seems it will work well, it does have a locking ring, but the switch is recessed enough not to need it. Only been using for a hour, but so far I am happy with it :)

    How's the texture, Nailz? Is it vinyl or real fiber?

    It is just vinyl, so it is smooth, but it was only $20, and has copper contacts, so hits will, I'm happy with it for the money spent, this wasn't purchased to be a show piece, in my job it will get beat up a bit, so we will see how the vinyl stands up, but if lasts 6 months, then got my money worths for sure :)

    No way yates is my fav also one bad ... dude!!!!!
    Im debating competing in Michigan for powerlifitng im in a strength phase right now and my totals are nuts for my weight class and judging the competition stats i got these boys in the dust. Ive always wanted to compete but i have buddys that do and a "Natural" show for men isn't natural what so ever seen it first hand.

    Glad to hear you were so serious gotta love the dedication and torture of the diet and training.
    Gotta check out pete rubish hes one of my go to videos for deadlift motivation lol dudes nuts.

    Wish i would have done ACE i made the mistake of going the WITS route bad idea considering there are so many better options!

    Stay sexy Stay strong

    No way you love Dorian Yates too! OMG, I was completely obsessed and enamored with him :wub: .. I had several of his old training vids, every one of his Mr. Olympia competition vids, his big training book, and, and I was there at Madison Square Garden when he announced his retirement at the 98' Mr. Olympia .. DEVASTATING, I was seriously devastated! :cry: But not as devastated as I was when Anderson Silva lost to Chris Weidman for a second time in horrific fashion, I haven't watched a single UFC event since, but that's a different story :facepalm:

    You too babes, stay safe, strong, and sexy ... cuz those arms though! :banana:
