I'm stumped and need some help.

Hey guys I'm a little puzzled here. My Hornet rba stopped working on my VVG. It works on my Grand. Here is the weird part. My Reomizer 2.0 works great on my VVG. It doesn't look like the post is any longer on the Hornet compared to the 2.0.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Did you try turning the voltage down I have had this happen vapeing away and then nothing sounds weird but I have had it happen..... Guessing you have done the obvious already like checking batteries etc ?

It may be my coil? It ohms at .85.
When I turned the voltage all the way down I get very little vape from it so maybe that's the problem? It vapes like a beast on my Grand though. Lol! Next time a change the coil I'll wrap it a little higher and see if that doesn't fix the problem.

I agree, turn that wheel and see if a different setting will let it fire.

Meter the Hornet and see what it reads and it will give you an idea of where your voltage should be working.

If the Hornet worked before on the VVG it should work again. IF you have not adjusted the post for another PV and made it lose contact on the VVG.

Yep, that sounds like it for sure. A 1.5 should work good on the lowest setting. I always do a higher ohm for my VV REO'S.

Do I have to worry about the coil being at .85 on my Grand? Will it compress my spring or something?

I have run a .95 coil on my Grand. I don't know how low others have tried. Not sure if there is a number we should stop at either. If you don't have a short in the RBA you should be good. IMO

Not overly familiar with VVG -- how well does it handle SLR coils?

 

[hildicat]

The amp limit in the chip will only let you go so far with SLR coils. I think the lowest I was able to use on the VVG was 1.3Ω, and that was at its lowest setting (3.5v?). The Grand being all mechanical should handle the .8Ω coil just fine, just be sure the coil is sound and not shorting out anywhere cause that amount of heat can melt a button and collapse a spring.

Thanks to those that helped. I just wrapped a new coil at 1.9 and it is working fine on the VVG. Thanks again all!
