IPV2 and atty sparkle shows from attys

[toketoke101]

hey all. im trying to build with 24 gauge kanthal on my prometheus clone. I have a orchid clone too and they both show sparkles around the post everytime im trying to fixate to get it done correctly and finish the job. what is wrong? is my ipv2 fried? did I just fried my prometheus now too? (2 attys garbage because a possibility of the darn ipv2 ) getting an vaporshark rdna 40w soon. at least they have diagnostics and can repair the device for a price. they only atty working is my kayfun clone but gives me a burnt taste after the 7-8th hit. I chain vape.

do you have an ohms meter? and have you checked the ohms of your coil/mod BEFORE testing them?

yea I got one it would show like a 0.7 or 0.8 ohms. id be like right my efest ohm reader is a piece of trash then the ipv2 would show 0.3 ohms like its suppose to be because the coils I wrap should be 0.2 to 0.5 ohms not 0.8 ohms

Higher resistance than you're anticipating is usually a sign that you need to tighten the post screws.

Also, if the wire isn't pressed fully against the posts, it's conceivable that the current would "arc", or hop a short distance from post to wire, which would explain the sparkle (really, spark) that you're seeing.

The mod won't cause the atty to spark. Setting up the atty wrong will. Your kayfun shouldn't be doing what it is either. The problem isn't with the gear.

why does the atty and device get so hot I have a samsung imr 18650 2500 mah 3.7v. I know its capable of max low of 0.15 ohms

Sounds like you're having a short. Check to see if the coils are touching the deck of your atty. or any other part of the atty

Reading through this, and your other thread, I'm going to make an honest suggestion.

Slow down.

This stuff is not rocket science, but it does take a bit of knowledge, a bit of patience, and a lot of practice. At this point, you don't have a lot of any of these, so please slow down.

The issues you are describing are 9 times out of 10 a result of your builds. Your coils shouldn't short and break. You have wicking problems in your orchid.

The good news, is that you CAN get there. Tear out those bad builds, take a deep breath, and slowly and methodically rebuild them. YouTube is your friend, as is the forum.

Good luck, and be safe!!

I make sure my coils dont touch anything

well im building on this orchid is coils are perfect posts are tight but the coils wont heat up at the same time what ever i do. 1 coil would heat up a little bit and the other would heat up just fine. im doing everything I can for even distribution but god this orchid is not letting me win

 

[toketoke101]

did a little tighening and the middle post moved a bit but everything was tight fired it and it was even tastes good so far

 

[toketoke101]

kind of changes taste a little bit when im chain vaping

 

[toketoke101]

why does it vape fine then after the 4th hit the coils go silent then a mild burn taste
