IGO-W Coil build questions

[HecticEnergy]

Thats one good thing about my SID.. no cryptic codes
(but I guess "Low Vol" is only an incremental improvement! LOL)

I guess I thought in the past that it just displayed "Lo" and when I saw the V I thought it had to do with my attempt at a coil LOL

Call me paranoid, but is there anything that would cause the coil to explode/short out etc?

OK that was embarrassing! I had just changed out the battery last night-these usually last for days LOL That fixed it!

That's odd. Even if you dropped your ohms considerably I'd think you'd still get a day. I usually get 2 days with 2Ω.

Low volume? But my tank is full.

You're paranoid

coils don't explode, they may snap, crackle and pop.

You could short out if the cap hits the coil but nothing should explode. If it shorted out and got lower than 1.2Ω you'll get a "Lo Ω" warning and it won't fire. If it shorted out and was above 1.2Ω it would probably have a hot spot and a bad taste.

LOL YES! I am paranoid. I work for an international medical device company and work in regulatory/quality-so is that any surprise? LOL

I have the same size round and ribbon wire as you. Twist those bad boys in a drill or something similar. I clamp one side and spin the other with a ring clamp. The twisted wire is great!

I bought a coil jig from darkzero on here...should make the coil process a piece of cake to make!

Definitely makes it easier, I use superxdrifters method. Do a search for him and look on his blog, has some good videos on micro coiling, makes it a breeze!
