need a little help here now,,changed the coil on DID,,hooked back up to my provari,,every time i push the button it trips the protection circuit,,put it on something not protected ,it fires and produces mass vape,,but it is burnt tasting
what am i missing,,this is a first for me
There is a short somewhere and the resistance will be too low - probably in the 0.5 -0.9 -ohm range, which is probably too low for the provari and hence the error.
Basically, it's a short resulting in low resistance. Try loosening the top coil that goes between the brass nuts.
EDIT : The burnt or metallic taste is from the hotspot which overheats. From my experience with my DiDs, the coil is too tight. I am new to this stuff too and I am learning as I go and I have had the same two things happen to me. So far I have made about 18 or so coils for my 2 DiDs and the last 4 have been perfect. Before that, every one of them suffered from one of the 2 symptoms you mentioned.
