Lowering Resistance on Iatty

[smitty727]

I don't have a multimeter and probably wouldn't know how to use it if I had one but I can measure resistance on my Provari. When winding the coil I just do as shown on Imeo's video and use 5 cm of resistance wire & 2 10 cm strands of non resistance wire. The first one I was able to wind successfully measured 1.9 ohm on the Provari. It was OK but I wanted a little stronger throat hit. To get less resistance do I just need to use a shorter length of resistance wire? I'd like to get the resistance down to about 1.5 ohm. Thanks.

yep, just give yourself a little less resistance wire between the non-resistance wires. each point of resistance is a super short distance, so if your first one was 1.9, id say go 1/8th-1/4 inch shorter on the resistance wire.

The resistance depends on the length of the middle portion of the R wire that is NOT wound with NR wire.

Yup you just need to use a piece that is roughly 1/4 of the total length shorter. and keep in mind what dream said.

I got the resistance down to about 1.5 ohm it goes around the wick twice at least for me. I just wish i could stop the leak

Yeah, I'm still in that learning curve also. Mine didn't leak at first but when I tore it down to change the coil and put it back together it started leaking a little plus it's gurgling. Thought I did everything the same but guess I didn't. I do think this thing is really gonna be special once I become more familiar with it. It was the same when I first got the UFS. Had several different problems while learning how to use it but now it's sweet.

tight the plastics Ani. Its the only thing you have to do. And if you have gurgling like smitt then blow the Iatty from its bottom or from the mouthpiece and gurgling will go.
