Nickel wire builds keep Saying "Atomizer Short" intermittently - Help!

[TheReign]

Currently Messing with Nickel wire for the first time and it will work for a few hours and suddenly say "Atomizer Short" a few times and give me a headache while I'm out of the house at work. Any ideas why? For the record not new to this been vaping/rebuilding and have been doing this for a few years... Ohms law etc.

But this Nickel wire is getting the best of me and I thought why not get with the times and try something new

Current Build is 24g NI200 6 spaced wraps on a 9/64 Bit. Not touching the deck/inside chimney so could it be touching the shaft that goes into the chimney piece? I'm stumped ( and its quite frustrating at times)

Any insight would be great.

Mahalo nui loa !!

What's the resistance reading? What mod and tank are you using? Are you locking the resistance?
A little more info could help.

The resistance Flutters anywhere from .09 - 2 ish. KangerSubtank the big boy. Yes locking the resistance and I tried unlocking it and thats when it flutters. But even locked resistance it will Say the "Atomizer Short"

Sounds like you are at the limits of resistance, for your device.
Steam engine shows:
24ga Ni200, 6 wraps on 3.5mm (9/64") = .04ohm

I second that, try to get another wrap or two. That way when it does Flux it doesn't drop below the .05? threshold on your device. Even if locked if it goes below the safety cutoff you will get the short error. When I was using nickel wire I tried to be closer to .07 or .06. Ymmv
Is the coil usually hot when it happens?

May even want to go to 26G Ni200 and a smaller ID 3mm. A 9/64 (3.5mm) coil may be a little large of a coil (physically) for that particular RBA in that Subtank. When top cap is place on it may actually cause a dead short regardless of coil resistance.

One thing i've learned playing around with nickel is that you have to try to aim at 0.10Ohm in that case if you make a wrong step or forget a wrap (yep, one of those days) it will still function after a while. I know that there is nothing worse then leaving the house with a working res and after a while ........

If you're above 0.1ohm it's probably because the wraps are making contact.
Evenly space your wraps.
I started on ni200 using TC...I don't miss it at all.

I missed one of your posts. Sorry.
Throw more wraps into it. Lol.
