do you have any of the ready wires that I made Greek?
It was sold out at the US site so I bought it from a vendor on the 'for sale' page here, I was on the Clouds of Vapor site and wanted to order some but no premades left...

Sounds to me its a bad coil. 1.4 ohms can be easily run at 4.0V that is like 11 watts. if 6 watt then its 3 volts.

When you say bad coil, do you mean the entire wire or the actual coiled portion of the wire? I just thought that as long as it was wrapped around the wick in circles and not touching it wasnt a big deal.
If you making a single coil you should not have any E1 errors. The short you getting is do to two things:
1) A bad constructed single coil.
2) coil is not mounted properly
To correct the problem please take following pictures if you can.
1) Take a picture of a new coil before wrapping silica, I like to see your junction points of the coil.
2) Take picture of coil and wick wrapped together. I like to see how close the wraps are with one another. it should not be touching.
3) Take picture of you mounting it. The coil and wick should go in flush and not touch the mouthpiece as you screw it in down. If wraps touch mouth piece a short will occur.
Please let me know if this helps.

Appreciate you answering my questions on there. Scraping up my last wires and recycling used ones, I was just able to make it work. The trick was to double wick and make sure the posts were correctly tied off. No shorts or errors on my ProVari, flavor is being broken in now.hope you guys caught the show.
Congrats! To skip "break in", torch wick and R wire before building.Appreciate you answering my questions on there. Scraping up my last wires and recycling used ones, I was just able to make it work.

My resistance is fluctuating a little bit but other than that its working. I'm guessing my R/NR connections were not up to par.

Any torch will do, torch type lighter, butane torch or gas stove. Good silica will not burn or melt.I'll do that next time, what type of torch/brand do you recommend? Also, is there a risk of melting the silica?
