HELP :: i can't use 28 gauge on evic ?

[maximum300]

hi , this is my first post , so i hope i didn't break any rules of posting ,

i have an evic mod , i liked it ,LIKED IT , but when i got my first and only rda ( igo w ) i loved rda , so i got 32 gauge and start building , but and than i wanted to move on the 28 gauge , and every time i make a coil of 28 gauge , my evic tells me it's a short coil , but the coil fires on ego battery ,
so why it doest fire
and what else should i get instead of evic ? a mechanical ?

thanks for taking time to replay , and sorry if i post it in wrong section

Welcome to ECF...

APVs have a minimum resistance limiter (which you can look up in your spec sheet), and below that limit, they won't fire - because they "read" that there is a short to ground. You've gone below that resistance value.
Get a resistance measuring device - from a simple ohm reader to a DMM, so you can measure your coils actual resistance.

If you click on my sig line, it leads to a coil build calculator.

The evic won't fire below 1.3ohms. Have you tried a 3/32 drill bit and like 9 wraps? With lower guage you need more wraps to reach higher then the 1.3 required. I normally run 1/18 drill bit with 8 wraps and usually get 1.8 ohms on a dripper. If you want dual coil your prob going to need 32 with bigger bit and same possible wraps.

Good luck and keep us posted. All else get a mech if you want sub ohm capability.

thanks a lot , it really helped me , i got a mechanical mod , and it fires it on 0,6 ohms
still have a lot of things to learn

I have an evic and am using 28 guage kanthal...no problems with it showing up (even showed up at 1.2 ohms though it went up to 1.3)...

My experience is that even if say a 1.0 ohm fires on a regulated device with low amp limit it wont be the same as when fired on a mech mod.
But that is where my understanding ends.
