So i just got a parallel mech, dual 18650, and need some help. I cant seem to figure out how to build my coils, in that the ramp up time takes forever. Any tips or things i should know about building on this? It is a Ohmega BMF by the way, if anyone else has one

Thanks, i just built some .o5 ohm coils and now it wants to just continuously fire, any idea why? could it be that its too low ohM?
They perform much better and last longer since they're not working as hard. Well that is if you don't build stupid low.
Anyway back to OP's post. A lot of it boils down to wire mass. For me I like a pair of SS fused Claptons 28x2/38 @ around 0.15 ohms

That's what I call Stupid Low, continuously firing? You've got bigger problems than the coils

problem is, is it hasnt happened until just now. any ideas as to what it could be?
I get a strong vibe that you really don't know what you're doing.
So here's my lecture I give new Mech users.
1. Ohm's law, Steam Engine | free vaping calculators makes it easy and there's even an app on it for Android
2. Batteries,!!!!! take good care of your batteries and know them!!!!!!!
a. Avoid .... batteries like eFest who rewrap rejects with grossly inflated amp ratings. Stick with authentic LG, Sony or Samsung from reputable (not eBay or Amazon) sources, great places that I get authentics from are -
Liion Wholesale Batteries | Li-ion battery/cell distributor
Earth's #1 source for IMR 18650 Batteries, Chargers, Cases & Wraps | IMRbatteries.com
Illumn.com - Flashlights, Batteries, Carry Gear, Intelligent LED Lighting, and More!
b. Stick well within Continuous Discharge Rate (CDR) Not the "pulse"
c. Keep up to date with what Mooch tests and battery ratings, follow his posts on Facebook and his Blog and only use his recommend batteries.
d. In Mod's with multiple batteries, marry them.
e. Get some battery wraps, they're cheap and easy to re-wrap batteries. Any nicks,tears or what ever don't be stupid and just re-wrap.
3. Don't build stupid low a good builder can chuck and get awesome dense vape from a good build. It's simple, with 20 CDR Amp batteries -
a. Single battery mod's you're fine with .2 ohms on up
b. Dual Parallel you're fine with .15 on up. Parallel you take the full CDR of one battery then add 1/2 the CDR of the next battery
c. Series you double the voltage but you share the amps . So a series you build high with a lot of wire mass no lower that .4 ohms.
4. Make sure you don't have any shorts. For an extra caution any new build I will vape on a regulated mod for a few drips or with a tank about a 1/4 tank. This is to insure nothing wonky with my build like shorts.
5. Careful if it's not in your hand, if it doesn't have a lock on the button and you put it in your pocket (which I really don't recommend) insure nothing else is in your pocket and it's loose. Don't want to put it in your front pocket and blow your Johnson off ya know
6. Last but certainly NOT the least, keep it clean! Clean it when you first get it "before" you even use it and clean it on a regular basis.
a. Ultrasonics are a very good investment, got mine off Amazon for around $25.

Good, yeah it's shorting. The first thing I always do with a new Mech is break it down, clean and inspect thoroughly.
Which BTW this isn't a Mech, it's an unregulated Mod. Mech's don't have any wires, soldering or Chips.
Good, lack of details and an obvious short keyed me in along with an insane 80 amp build gave me the vibe.i know what i am doing, its just a part grounding itself. helpfull information though

took it apart and made sure what i thought was grounding wasnt, still wants to auto fire D:
Battery wraps? Plus what battery's are you using?
Battery contacts?

Im using brand new IMREN 18650, and i thing i figured out what might be grounding it. Some paint has come off the top where other RDAs and such have been, and might be from the RDA touching the bare metal, i was searching google and found that was a problem with one persons
IMREN? No way in hell would be using them, they are one of the worst with performance and gross exaggeration of their crap batteries. Read my post with battery information
You're shorting somewhere in the Mod, I would still test the rda on a regulated mod though.

i tested it out on my Sigeli Moonbox, and it works just fine, im gonna try and cover the inside with some painters tape or something and see if that solves it, but not going to leave it there. If it does fix it, i will probably go buy some electrical tape tomorrow
