EhPro for sure you can get it at fluidvapes.com I almost like these as much as my Russian 91s

thanks for the input everyone but sadly i dont live in US therefore im unable to select my country for billing. any other sites that are cheap and have most rda, rba of their latest updates with cheap price?

Have you tried Ebay? I don't know for sure, but it seems they would have a site you could order from. I have seen an Ebay UK site. I got my EHPRO's from here.....Kayfun Lite Plus V2 Clone Atomizer By Ehpro | eBay

Maybe it's the oxidation that's induced in the dry burn squeeze. until a micro coil is oxidized it seems the ohms are higher

That and the oils on your skin and pulling the coil tight. All of those little things change the transfer of electrons.
The one thing ice learned in electrical engineering is NOTHING is exact. Even when using the most advanced of equipment you have to scout for an error ratio. I'll take three reading with three different pieces of ensuring equipment of the same thing and get three slight different readings. I play this to an advantage though and wrap a 1.356 coil where the provari reads it at 1.4 it lest me have ever so slightly resistance but step my voltage up. Internal resistance and calibration is 90 percent lf the culprit though.

If you do the calculation using 28ga, it comes to 1.56 ohms. That's about right. Just cannot figure out why the 30ga is screwy.

I guess I can see a 5 - 10% range but this is 20+%.

Haven't heard of the oil thing but the tight coil thing is partly what i was hitting on. i just know initially I get one reading, then after the dry burn and squeeze my resistance goes down slightly. I thought this was mainly from the coil being kind of oxidized but it can, like you said, just being from the tightness.

I tend to think of things at the molecular level and strictly thinking out loud. But if it's only happening at 30g wire, like bronze said, and such a huge difference I'm wondering if the wire is really 30g and or if maybe there's mfg issue with the wire.
Did you get it from qorax?

The thing is, all of us who use 30ga, 10 wrap,2MM come up with the same resistance...right about 2.0 ohms. I could see explaining it as a QC issue with the wire if it were isolated but not when we all get the same thing. I (we) checked this using two different calculators and both calcs say it should be 2.46 ohms. And why reality matches the calculation for 28ga makes this even more of head scratcher.

Has anyone made a micro coil that is so tight, that it doesn't light up correctly? I try to make my micros as tight as possible because they are supposed to be more efficient and have less chances of micro shorts. Supposedly there are other reasons why a micro coil should be super tight but tbh, the reasons I have heard about are a little above my expertise. Anyways i do try to obtain a truly tight micro coil but sometimes it seems like they could be too tight. There have been times when I do the burn and squeeze and cannot get the coil to light up from the center out. No matter what I do they just don't light correctly until I slightly separate the coils. So has anyone else found this to the case?

Ahhhh the wonders of electricity.
It's probably something to do with resonance of they gauge wire... Do you get the same sort of results at 32g? Or is it isolated to that size. Wondering if it's a general ratio issue as the wires get thinner or something else.

Not me Diver. Maybe because I don't get them as tight as you. But then i don't see how I can get them much tighter. Mine have always glowed evenly inside out.

No Tony, just checked the 28 and 30 at 10 wraps and 2mm ID.

I wonder if we have a metallurgist on ECF. :)

Yeah- one tool I use has an "arch" behind the tweezer par and the coil when made looks like
It fits perfectly, if I use that part of the tool it'll always light up from the ends inward. Weird. But it's a pair of cosmetic tweezers, the ones that look like little pliers.

Don't really use 30g solely so not sure . tbh, I never realized those discrepancies in resistances so I never thought about it.

Diver, how to you build your 26ga? # wraps, ID? I'll plug it into the calculator and see what it comes to and you can tell us if it matches your ohmeter/provari.

After dozens of tries I finally got my wick right on my micro coil Troeco Kaylite, I'm going on two week and afraid to mess with it. How long will a wick last with minimal (few puffs over 2hrs per day) ?

One other question has anyone tried the Fastech $15 Kaylite clone on their first page?
