Haka 1100 mah rebuild coil problems.....blinking red light

[bdbart]

So, I just rebuilt my first coil. I followed these instructions, since I have a Kanger Mini Pro tank 2. I used 28 gauge wire. However, after the rebuild my Haka 1100 mah battery will blink red when I try to vape. The resistance on the rebuilt coil is 1.8 ohms. No part of the coil is touching the base that the atomizer screws into.

I don't know why the battery will not accept the new coil??? How do I alleviate this problem?? I don't want to buy a new atomizer everytime I need to replace it (I want to be able to rebuild them).

I put the newly rebuilt coil on my friends eGo C-Twist and my friends Uno Vape and they work beautifully. I have also put new atomizers from the 'factory' on my battery and they work beautifully.

HELP!!!!!!!!!

I'm a beginner also, but I've run into the same problem. 28 ga. seem a little big for a protank so it's probably tripping the low load protection in the battery, usually somewhere around 1.2-1.3 ohms. How did you measure resistance? If you use an average little multimeter like I do, you have to take into account the resistance in the test leads. On my meter it reads 0.6 ohms when I touch the leads to each other, so I have to subtract that from the coil reading I get. Guessing here that you are right on the edge of minimum resistance for ego batteries, so it works on some but not on others. HTH

Hi

I'm having the same problem only with a couple of Joye 900 mah copper color egos. These won't fire a single coil I've built. My other egos, Joye 900 mah stainless color, and my vv/vw sticks fire them just fine. The copper color ones will only fire a factory coil. I'm using 30 ga kanthal. I've made a few coils, lowest 1.5 ohms highest 2.8 ohms. I wondered if it was low ohms is why i built the 2.8 and a 2.5, still a no go.

I've been watching this thread hoping for a clue.

Thanks for the advice. I am using a friends multimeter, he is an electrician and says it is a pretty expensive one. Anyway, I will try to subtract from the coil reading. I haven't yet, (I borrowed some wire from friend) I will build some more coils with around 2.2 ohms and see if that works.
