ohms and coil building

[Baditude]

Wow thanks for being rude. Just asking for help. And u come at me with rude remarks????

We did not mean to be rude, but you were given a lot of information to digest yet came right back without reading any of the links provided to ask a question which would have been answered if you had read them. If you aren't going to help yourself, then take some responsibility on your own behalf for being rude to those trying to help YOU by ignoring sound advice.

We are just trying to prevent a tradegy from happening to you like what just happened last weekend at a vape convention when a mechanical mod exploded in a crowd of spectators. Excuse us for caring. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-vaping-discussion/594756-explosion-vape-blast.html

Maybe, maybe not, without an ohm meter you'll never know.

Guessing / about / around / should be / was last time / calculator says x ohms is taking easily avoided risks.

First and most important rule with rebuilding coils:

Never fire a coil before first measuring the resistance on an ohm meter. Do not rely on a calcultor to always be correct. There can always be human errors on your part which could result in a difference from the target resistance.


Second rule with rebuilding:

Insure that the amp draw of the coil will not be higher than the maximum continuous discharge rate (amps) of your battery. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/6618-16-explain-dumb-noob-ohms-law-calculations.html

Not to mention a metallurgic fault in the piece of wire you use or a bad/missing insulator.
You never mentioned what type of wire you're using.
Kanthal A1 or A or one of the A variants or D, ribbon, twisted, or, maybe Nicrome 60 or 80.

I believe your mistake was purchasing an advanced setup (mechanical mod and RBA) when maybe a beginner setup would have suited you better.

An eGo battery setup or a regulated mod setup (ie an MVP) using clearomizer tanks would have been simpler and safer to use as a beginner. This would have allowed you time to research about more advanced setups for the future.

He wants you to type it all here especially for him...

Hey I will personally attest to the need of safety info, before I found ECF and baditude (he has digested alot of ecig safety info and spends a lot of time sharing it) I had a mod with a clero on top the stock coil shorted and my Cheap kit ICR batt went thermal. No one was hurt other than the lawn and fence in my back yard. Still find out what you are doing before you have a issue. These people love to help and will share a wealth of knowledge if you take some time to read and pay attention and GET THE PROPER TOOLS. No one wants to discourage a new vaper, but if you may become a headline we might be better off if you didn't vape. If it sounds rude to put it like that I'm sorry but that's how I see it.
