Not getting a good contact with battery?

[MichelleOhio]

I have one atty that reads 1.7, but that's the end of the LR stuff. Will get my RM2 built this week and hope that helps. I did file the pin and noalox it and the battery nipple and it has seemed to have helped. Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I just didn't realize I would have to file every few days. Maybe with a more liberal use of noalox I won't have to.

Hows it vaping? You may not need to use the Noalox that often. Just one of those things right now but you might find that you won't have to do that for a month of two. Just vape and see over time if the problem arises again.With low and regular ohm atties I very much doubt you'll have to do it very often.

It's vaping better…I would call it a "cool" vape. I retested and have a .5 resistance in my leads, so that will lower my readings some, but still not much. I wonder if older LR attys ran at a higher ohm? I'm still getting 1.8 or 1.9 on a LR. These would have been purchased around three or four years ago when dripping and cartos were the main thing. LOL

.5 is quite a difference. Usng a 1.5 atty versus a 2 is a huge difference

 

[MichelleOhio]

That's a 1.9 after my .5.

At that resistance you won't have to clean very often. Keep your batts charged up all the way once they hit about 3.8-3.7 it's time for a recharge especially at those ohms when your finding it a bit cool. Hopefully your Rba will help you get better set.

Thanks for the tips! You've been great help to this newbie, Justice!

 

[Justice]

Just want for you to be happy with it. Once you have it all figured out you can help the new newbies if you have a B&M nearby you could see if they have some 1.5 attys. They would likely tide you over for a bit.

 

[MichelleOhio]

I will check the B&M store tomorrow. Good idea!

any updates here ?

 

[MichelleOhio]

I guess there may be an update in that I think I'm getting better connection since putting a thin glaze of Noalox on each battery. I'm just using my stash of attys until my wire gets here. Hopefully tomorrow or Friday and I can build my coils. I'm excited and nervous.

Too add to the above…I *really* can't wait to build up my RM2….the atomizer I'm now using keeps spitting hot juice into my mouth. UGH

What kind of atty ? do you have a longer drip tip ?

 

[MichelleOhio]

It's a 510 LR. I don't have a longer drip tip. It's okay, I think I was maybe hitting it too hard. Trying to inhale more slowly seems to be helping.

 

[Justice]

That was my next suggestion. That and maybe a little flooded. Just don't burn it

I saw a post here to a link where someone did a electronic voltage drop test from all the different connections in the mods

The Smok Magneto was the worst...yes I was having "light hits" put a very very small bit of noalox on the threads (even though it's stainless steel and some say will just goop up the threads) and it is hitting VERY hard now

This guy says No-OX-ID is for other materials, noalox is for aluminum
