3,5 ohms at 3,7 volts with a fat wire too is a combination that will not produce anything Sneaker. But dont destroy this wire, just vape it at 7,4 volts

Tried that too....WAY too harsh. Even with juice control open all the way, it makes my eyes burn. Trying a 1.5" coil now.

A VV mod cant work with a wire like this, its too low beard:)

sneaker, 3 32 awg coils twisted are a very very low wire. Keep in mind that not only the amount of resistance matters but also the width of the wire. If for example I want to fire a 1,5 ohm and 0,5mm fat wire I need much more current to fire it properly than a 0,16 mm fat wire at 1,5 ohm too. So GGTS is fine, no worries about that

Sneaker, what Imeo is talking about here is true, you cannot take into consideration only the resistance. You know non resistive wires have resistance near zero it doesn't mean they will heat up better than your resistance wire. When you make it too thick, the heating becomes very slow and the temperature at a point cannot reach high levels in a fast way. your wires are more conductive than resistive at 4.1 volts.

you have to buy a multimeter for sure Sneaker. Its cost is 10 dollars and you will be able to measure the resistance and the voltage of your battery too:)
And this ^^^

A friend of mine said: A vaper without a multimeter is like a doctor without a stethoscope!

You simply have to have one if you are passionate about vaping. It will give you more insight than any of us can.

Looks good. Saw a video of someone showing how to use the mm200. Think I will order the 100 as well next week, as it is a little cheaper then the mm200. I like how it automatically adjusts for you. Have never used one so the video was helpful.

In case anyone else is interested here is the video Multi-Meter How to for Electronic Cigarette users - YouTube

It starts off on a multicolored screen for a few seconds then goes to the video. Shows how to measure volts, ohms, and on atties.

Bought this one with a set of alligator clip attachments.

Finally found the cause of my really (less than 1")short twisted coils--the silver NR wire I have been using in fact DOES have resistance. I checked my kanthal, came out as expected. The NR silver does have residual resistance that increases every few mm.

In short, .999 silver wire DOES have some resistance. I bought mine from Twisted Jewels. Time to find NR nickel wire other than eBay.

thats wierd, I use that same silver and havent noticed any, but than again, never thought of testing it. I always set my resistance at 2.5 - 2.7 ohms. I measured out aprx 1.75 inches of 32 kanthal and then twist on the silver. I also test mine after in one of those meters that you screw on a carto or atomizer.

fwiw all metal wires have resistance. For practical purposes, we use silver and pure nickel which has low resistance but we prefer to call it no-resistance since it is negligible in the lengths that we use. Silver has the lowest resistance of all metals. Gold, copper and aluminum are next in the resistance table but is either too expensive or not good for our health. Pure nickel is therefore another option.
