Go here and do some calculations. If you sub ohm, you should already know why your coil doesn't read as expected. On a 2/32 inner diameter, you should have 7 wraps on each coil at 24 gauge for a .2 ohm dual coil. Something isn't quite right with the data you posted.

Coil shorts? How are your reading the resistance? Standard ohmmeter or a 510 meter? If it's a standard ohmmeter are you subtracting the lead resistance?

You are in a vaping area where mistakes result in hot batteries. There's no room for screwups and a mechanical fuse generally only goes to 7 amps, so you are vaping in dangerous territory with an unprotected mech generating an 18.5A load. Be careful.

Here's my question: no one else is horrified by reading posts from folks in the "new member" section talking about their .2ohm and lower builds? When did these crazy super sub ohm dangerous builds become so acceptable? I remember less than a year ago when cutting edge, meaning for the seriously advanced vaper only, was .5ohm!

Don't mean to dump on this thread, reading this thread just caught me off guard.

BTW- You do NOT subtract when using a 510 meter, only when using a standard ohm meter.
