I hate you guys

That issue is caused by a short between the coils and wick. Spin your wick just a bit and move it up or down about 1/2mm.

SPOT ON, thanx bro

Well I'll let the vets answer this but after having success today I'll give it a shot. I think the top coil is due to it being loose considering it's not a full wrap. It could also be the other coils close to it are not spaced evenly. It could also be the distace between the top coil and positive post, try to get as close as possible without touching and without strangling the wick. Believe me it's a pita and constantly giving me probs. But today I've made 2 working coils in a row at 2.2 ohms! It's worth the aggravation.

A short is actual short in the coil where it stops firing, your device would throw an error code and you may see the coil pop like spark in a certain area. It is usually just due to oxidation issues in the wick

Thanks for the info! Much better understanding now.


Boognish will return!

So guys I didnt really get full answer on this. Should I keep the voltage down for a few tanks before trying to go hard? Like I'm at 2.2ohm and vapin at 3.8 and it's good but I like to vape at around 4.5. Should I play it cool for a few hours?

Holy **** this thing sucks some serious juice!

I generally start out a little low with the voltage, and gradually bump it up, maybe .2 volts at a time, just to make sure everything is working fine. But I bump up each 3 or 4 puffs. By the time I've vaped maybe 1/4 tank, I'm at my usual "sweet spot" power. With a 2.2Ω coil, I'd probably start out at 3.8-3.9V, and eventually wind up at about 4.6-4.7V.
