Microcoil oddness?

[mrmaigo]

TL;DR .8 ohm dual microcoils, after cleaning and crimping they jump between .8 ohm and 6+ ohms. Sperate the coils a little and back to .8 ohm. WHAT HELL?

Story mode: A month ago I upgraded to a hana clone/magma rda, so now I have some power and space to play. Had this build for about 3 weeks; 1.6 ohm coils (28 gauge, 5 wraps) on 3mill ekowool. Last week I cleaned it and tightened the coils a little. The resistance started jumping between .8 and 4 ohms. Maybe the cheap board is already fried, but after a few hours bumping around at work, it was fine again. Today, clean, crimp, throw on hana "Check Atty" Grab meter. "6" "3" "15" "300" Poke at coils ".8", crimp "6.5"
My electrical knowledge isn't great, but I'm reasonably sure that's not normal. I'm ready to pull these coils, but what gives?

Definitely sounds like a short. Simple stuff first, are you positive your contacts are fully secured? Make sure the screws are tightened down all the way. Secondly, make sure the coil isn't making contact with any metal. Who is the Hana clone made by? Cloupor?

If it's not either of those, it may be the chip. Also, did you take the AFC ring off of the magma?

Hotcig, got it from fasttech. But it's not the chip, I broke out the mulitmeter and was getting those readings across the poles. I guess I could have been a bad connection. not really my expected results from such a thing.

Edit: Ring off, both off/on pv

I bet your drip tip is hitting the poles. Put your AFC ring back on. Also check for tiny bits of wire hitting your poles. Maybe something you clipped off fell in the well.
