Help please

Hey guys, super noob here!

I have a nemesis clone with a Tobh atty.
The other day I forgot to lock my firing button and put it inside my purse.
(5 mins at most) I smelled my juice and something burning, looked inside my purse
and grabbed my mod and it was hot. The atty was very hot. And the top part of the tube
but not the bottom or firing button. Few hours later I tried to fire it and now it just
stopped working. I took everything apart. Put it back together and nothing. My battery
is fully charged. Did I mess somethin up? How do I fix it? ):

A supernoob with a mech mod and dripper? Talk about jumpin' into the deep end...go 'head!!! I'm no engineer but if the battery seems fine, I would assume one of the connections in the mod is fried. Being a mech, I can imagine it can be repaired but it would probably take someone with considerable knowledge of mech mods. Good luck.

Be happy you didn't fry your face off. Not trying to be mean, but you put yourself in quite a pickle. You probably burned all the insulators.

Yeah I know ): I got too excited after reading a bunch of forums and watching videos on mech mods and building coils that I went and got one without knowing everything. Bad habbit I have whenever I get a new hobby lol but I'm learning as I go.. Thanks for your reply though! Yeah.. I had a feeling that was probably the problem. Darn.

Lucky you caught it! That firing button can be a little sneaky. I would check your battery and RDA.

Probably didn't hurt the Nemi. May have popped the coil though.

I agree with Fenario....oh...and I am a Design Engineer (retired). I assume you have a multimeter since your building? Check the battery (output) in the mod. Then check resistance on the RDA (+ post to - base) with your coil in. Should read what you built the coil at.

My money is on the insulators for the tobh. If you have the money I would recommend getting a regulated mod ( has electronics). Mechs are great, but have a learning curve. Vaping in and of itself has enough of a learning curve that I strongly recommend ppl learning not get a mech up front. If thats not practical for you get familar with ohms law basics, know your battery's amp limits, don't discharge the battery to low and get familiar with a DMM. Glad nothing serious happened with your learning experience!

Either the insulator or the battery drained to low. I dont think there is anything wrong with starting with a mech as long as you educate yourself and use an ohms metter before firing. Personally i find myself moving away from mechs and into regulated box mods.....more control, power and saftey

 

[m3nace]

What guage wire were you using maybe the coil just melted and there's no connection and that's why it's not working

Some web sites - well all of them should say that mech mods and rebuildables are for advanced users.

use an ohm resistance meter and a coil building guide Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

Found the problem... It's the battery. It says it's fully charged but it's only at 1.73v. I put my brothers vtc5 in and it worked perfectly. Thanks everyone for the help.
