Ohms fluctuating on stm

[Imperialchugger]

When taking a drag, it tends to flicker on 0.4 and 0.6 ohm. But somehow it manages to go up to 1.4 ohm and it burns the cotton. Is my rba deck faulty?

Did you build on nickel? Kanthal or nichrome shouldn't change resistance much with heat.

If its not nickel or titanium, could be you're not tightening it well.

Would suggest you to recoil and rewick and see if the problem persists first.

Sometimes when you don't screw down properly or it gets loose, the airflow may vibrate the coil and if you're too close to the edge of the deck, your coil might contact the outer wall of the atomizer and increase the resistance.

Oh for STM, the top cap of the rba is usually the culprit when contacting the coil.

Usually for subtank mini, well in my case is the wire that touches the walls that increases the resistance to around those ohms.

You shouldnt really have any issues with the subtank mini if everything is in place.

After building a new coil for subtank mini, after a few day of vaping. youre coil tend to loosen up, so just open and screw it tight. That happen to me quite a few times.

what kind of box mod do you recommend for SMOK TFV4

Fog 400

joking i never use tfv4 before... any box mod will do that can give you 70-80watts... because that's what i heard from some people saying that's is a good spot to vape in with the occ

I agree with it, even the RBA lower than 50W sucks. I tried vaping it with my kangertech mini 50W. LOL its not as good as vaping at 70 watts when i tried it at my friends singelei 150w

erm... rba? lol... that has to depends on your build... if a simple single coil 26g 5 wraps 30watts is more then enough

hahaha i went nuts with my coil. 26g twisted with 6 wrap i cant remember whats my id. But i know its quite big LOL!

single or dual coil?
what the ohm reading?

what the ohm reading?

0.8ohms single coil. For my kangertech subtank which is also 26g twisted with 4 wrap dual coil 0.4ohms
