Hey, i have a problem with mod. I don't know what's happening but. I have istick TC 100w with GTA Fuji atomizer. I am trying to reach 0.3 ohm, i was close - 0.28 ohm. But suddenly after putting cotton in it droped to 0.14 ohm. Maybe someone knows where is the problem? I use 2 coils staggered fused clapton 32g, 25mm and 7wraps. Week ago i had a problem with pin, i pushed accidently in with atomizer, but after a day pulled it back, maybe it's a problem with pin? Or with atomizer? Please help ;/

I've been building coils for a time, so you had two coils in parallel for a total of .28 ohms and each coil is .56 ohms.
While putting cotton in the total resistance dropped to .14 ohm. Sounds like putting in the cotton moved a coil and it is shorting to ground. Work backwards and remove the cotton, check resistance, if necessary remove a coil and check the resistance of 1 coil, it should be double the total resistance, if it is not double that coil is shorting. If you get the correct resistance the problem is with the coil you removed.

I would really doubt that both cotton, PG and VG have very high resistances. I really forgot to mention the terminal screws or whatever is used for the plus minus contacts which also have to be considered but that would increase the resistance. At this time I have a tank with dual coils when I put the cover over the deck the resistance increases from .18 to .22, the cover could be moving cotton that moves the coil or whatever.

Which pin? Do you mean the parts of the coil that get screwed in?

When I had ohm changes after wicking, it was because my coil got reshaped a bit due to me pulling the cotton out.
