OBS engine......!

Just received this today super excited to try it out. Tried straightening the coils and then the post came off.

Which post? One of my Nanos did this, was the one with the insulator. I inspected the insulator and it was fine. Just pushed it back in and used it until I got another.

Seeing your pics in your other post Letitia nailed it just push the post back onto the insulator as long as it will go on snug and stays secure you should be good to go.

I'm all scared! Its the obs engine but not the nano. I tried sticking it back on but it still keeps coming lose. When I tried heating the coils only side side appears to be heating.

If it won’t seat and stay in place best would be to return it at this point.

I've never posted a pic, don't know how. Please don't ask me for a link either.

Same principle, but Northernshrink is right, don't use it. If you can return it. The way I pulled mine out is I over tightened my grub screws. I over tighten everything.

This is the pic in question. Three threads have been started on the same thing

OBD engine.....!

@Beamslider I wish I had your mad skills at finding info and useful stuff.

 

[Fiestylillady]

I took out the needle nose pliers. Here goes nothing.. i think those are my pics. I kept getting an error message trying to open the thread.

that's not good,the gold ones work better than the silver.at least the two I got,or is it all in my head?

 

[Fiestylillady]

I just dont understand why out of all the Google searches i did on this tank never did i see the posts will come off. I would have never purchased it. Can this cause a short?seems dangerous! Someone help a newbie out. Two part verticle post preferred leak proof tank? Recommendation please.

I recommend returning it for another or for your cash back. If you are starting out building coils a single coil is better anyway until you get the hang of it.

Think im going to return. Waiting on the company to approve the return from reporting it broken on first day received. I'm not a lucky vaper I feel.

 

[Fiestylillady]

Does the color affect the quality at all?

 

[Beamslider]

Identical other than the finish on them. One has black paint the other is SS without paint.

I have never had the OBS Engine dual coil. But the I do have the OBS NANO single coil. I have never had an issue with it.

Hmm. So if it just the same i may want to skip this tank after all. I have never had the OBS Engine dual coil. But the I do have the OBS NANO single coil. I have never had an issue with it.

What's the favorite yet affordable tried but true quality rta? And easier for newbies pweassseee help a newbie out my new friends

For anyone to recommend an RTA that you might like, they would need to know more about how you plan on using it.

Direct to Lung Vaping? The OBS Engine is a DTL tank. So guessing that is what your are after.

If you are a Mouth to Lung vaper, you will need a different type of RTA

What about wire type? Are you planning on using single strand wire or clapton, etc.

If you are new to building coils, you are better off with a single coil tank as they are far easier to learn to build. Dual coil tanks are somewhat more complicated. You will need to wrap to 2 coils with the same number of wraps, they are also harder to get wicking right on. The ohm on a dual coil will be far lower too. 2 .5 ohm coils installed in a dual coil RTA drop to .25 ohm.

I am sure there will be lots of recommendations for tanks, especially if you give more specifics on what you are looking for.

But do consider getting a simple single coil tank for your first tank.

I can believe people are recommending OBS. Post looks like it just pressed on to pin. Poor build quality
