Smacuser can you kinda take over. I hate leaving the OP high and dry but I really need to join my family for a few hours for my own Birthday party hehehehehehhee

Thanks Myrany. I think the OP might get the picture here soon.

BTW - Happy Birthday!

8 wraps of 27 gauge at 1mm is 0.9 ohms.

8 wraps at 1.5 mm is about 1.2 ohms.

Both of those are too low for most regulated mods.

What's your coil diameter?

What's your coil diameter?

Already asked twice, OP not responding.

 

[vjc0628]

for reg device I never go below 30 gage
3 mm doubled over 5 wraps 1.5 oms

unreg mod ill use 28 gage for .8 to 1.1 ohms

 

[danca90]

Try 9 wraps. The ohms are probably too low. Also, you should have a way if testing ohms first. I use a mech, and won't put anything on that tops out below .8. Regulated should stay at 1.5 and up.

Thanks for taking over guys I am back should the OP pop in.

Looks like you handled it better than I could though

And ty ty for the B-day wishes

WHat size of silica wick? 1mm, 2mm, 3mm?

Here is why I ask when I do 5 wraps with 32 gauge kanthal on 3 mm silica wick I hit 1.7 ohms roughly which should fire on most devices.

27 gauge is going to be MUCH lower ohms than 32 gauge. I would probably try about 11 wraps and see if it fires. THat is a guess since we do not know what device you are trying to fire it on and minimum ohms varies a bit from one to another.

sorry for the late response its 3mm wick and i will definitely try more wraps when i get back from work. thanks

yvw If I do not answer right away I am going to be heading to bed soon but I will check the thread in the morning

We still don't know the mod, right?

For the 47th time: What APV are you attaching to the igo?!?!?! The vast majority of APV's - you know, the kind that have screens that tell you things like "lo" - won't fire a coil below 1.3 - 1.2 ohms. Some of them won't give you a resistance reading at all if the coil is below their designated cutoff. That protection is one of the reasons why you got an APV to begin with. (Or maybe not in this case.)

1.) What PV are you using?

2.) Do you own a DVM to test these things out, other than trying it on your PV?

Take the top cap off..... And use something to push down on the positive pin.

It can work its way up ever so slightly and not make contact with your device.

This!!^ ^ ^
I've had to do it with 2 of the 3 IGO-L's I have...EASY DOES IT!! It only takes a slight "tap" on the center post to move it down....
If, indeed, your coil is less than 1 ohm....it likely will NOT fire in an MVP v2, eGo, etc. -- AND IT'S UNSAFE TO TRY TO DO IT!!! The built-in protection circuitry of MOST such devices CAN FAIL....with NASTY RESULTS!!
Good Luck!
Happy (vaping) Trails!

I think someone is having fun.

Unless I miss my guess on timing the OP was working very late US time last night. He may not be up yet. Have patience grasshoppers.

Looks like he lost this thread and started a new one

[Myrany]

We got it fixed. He pulled the post on his MVP a bit and is now rocking an IGO-L at 1.3 Ohms
