Help please?!?!?!

[shad0w13]

ive tried wraping two coils just a few mins ago. the first not so bad tasted a bit burnt and started leaking I double a 2mm silica over on its self (cant remember what I did)

the second I did something wrong it reads at a high ohm fires for .2 seconds then nothing I check again and it says 9.9 ohms either way it taste burnt

my last good coil is about to need changing and now my torch is out of fluid

some one please tell me what im doing wrong

(ive already watched a lot of youtube videos they didn't seem to help me)

What are you wrapping coils on?
What device are you using?

its going in a pro tank and im using a vamo if your asking what matrieals its 32 g kanthal a1 and 2mm silica

Are you wrapping the coil around the silica, or pulling it through? I always wrap my coils FIRST in either a tiny screw driver ~1/16", or large paperclip (smaller, so more wraps = more liquid contact), and then pull the wick through. I've been using 32g kanthal. I've found that wrapping 5 or 6 times around a 1/16th' inch piece of metal usually gets me at ~1.5-1.8ohms. Also, I use cotton wick, which I find is easier to work with than silica, wicks better, and tastes better. #6 Peaches and Cream yarn from Walmart ($1.59 a skein) for the coil wick, and a piece of cotton ball for a flavor wick.

It COULD be that one of your coil legs is touching the base prematurely. Or, you could have popped that coil - run at too high a voltage?

I use watts and it did it before it fired I had to unscrew it a little before it even fired

ok so I made one its keeping at 1.6 ohms but its very weak im at 9.5 watts now and not really anything a slight burning taste too (used peaches and cream cotton yarn
