So should i take out the battery and where do i put the needles to check my ohm resistence? red goes to the negative nut below and black goes to top nut above?

watch the video godspeed, all your questions will be answered in 10 minutes!
i cannot seem to get the hot spot to go away, from yesterday i've been trying to recoil and use new wicks as well but just does not seem to go away. Could the switch got spoilt? i just keep getting the burnt taste...
wick reads at 2.4 ohm resistence- minus that from 0.8 would be 1.6?
no, I mean if you put the probes of the mm on the wick, close to each other at different spots, what is the reading (set the mm to ohm)
i place the probes on the wick and the numbers just keep running up and down anywhere from 10.2-30?
That means your wick not good oxidized. Reading should be 1. Put the probes on a non conductive surface and see what it reads.........1
oh ok thanks i think i understand now... i'll try to oxidized my wick once again and see what happens
Too much torching does not help. Oxygen needs to do it's part also. Make sure you use the hottest part of the flame: the part in between the dark and light blue. don't overdo it, 20 seconds per side, roll it, torch again for 20 to 30 seconds and done. Let it cool of and check with your mm....good luck!
finally i realise what my problem was... like you mentioned it was not oxidized properly and i had to do it longer than i was doing it to get it oxidized, now my ohm is reading 2.9 with a 4 wrap is that fine oh should i lower it? Thanks alot for all the help.. finally i could get a decent vape on it
2.9 ohm is quite high. What Kanthal are you using and how many wraps?
I use 30 AWG 3/4 wraps reading 1.2 ohm for instance
I use 30 AWG 3/4 wraps reading 1.2 ohm for instance
i'm using the 32 a1 kanthal and 4/5 wrap... Should i lower it? i get about 2.9 and minus 0.8( when just putting the 2 probes together) is 2.1 ohm?
Well, it is user preference. If the flavor is good and you are satisfied, leave it as it is. Important is that all coils glow evenly when the wick is dry. Once liquid it used, you should not see any glowing. Break it in and see how it goes. If you find it too weak, make a 3/4 wrap....
Ok for the past 2-3 tanks about 1/4-1/2 way through the tank the juice starts turning very dark. I have read that this is caused by a short? The weird thing is this just started happening out of no where(same coil and wick never happened before) BUT about the same time I noticed the juice darkening I also notice an increase in flavor.

I've never subtracted anything when using my multimeter. Is that how you figure you're calibrating it or something?
Check resistance. Sounds like it has changed and that is normal after extended use.
