Phoenix v10 question

[dmadsen]

So... I got my first RDA today... a Phoenix v10. I took it apart to see exactly how everything goes together... pretty simple...looks pretty simple to work with. my question/issue is... I put it on my MVP2 to check the resistance of the stock coils and I get a NON reading! Is there a short??? So I tried it on my VV V3... same thing! huh!? I DID notice that when screwing it on it bottomed out with little resistance, like maybe it didn't make contact with the battery terminal. I put it on my Sigelei K100 mech and it makes contact just fine! I didn't want to, but I went ahead and pulsed the K100 a couple of times to see if the coils lit up... fired great! I compared the length of the 510 connection on the Phoenix to my iClear30... the Phoenix is about 1/16" shorter! My question(s)... is this normal? Should I take it back? Would it be safe/acceptable to make a small brass shim for use on my MVP? ( I am a machinist of 40 years, so this would be child's play!)

I really want to get away from clearo's and start using the RBA/RDA's, but I want to do it safely! Any help, ideas, comments are greatly appreciated!

PS... I would like to build 1.5-2.0 ohm single or dual coils for the Phoenix... I have 28g. kanthal, silica and cotton and would prefer to do micro coils. Any input on number of wraps and diameter?

Thanks!

Vape on!

28g 1/16" dia coil is 8 wraps for 1.5Ω...

I recently got a Phoenix V10. Couldn't tell you what the resistance was on the pre-installed coils because I instantly took them off and threw them away. I can tell you, that on your MVP or VV, if it's below a certain value, they won't read the resistance. Speaking for the Innokin SVD (I'll assume it operates similarly) , it won't fire anything under 1.3 ohms. The stock coil setup in the Phoenix V10 is probably under that value.

1.5 ohm total resistance should fire nicely on the MVP or k100.

I have a 1.5 ohm dual microcoil setup on my Igo-W right now. It's been a little while since I built it, but I believe each coil is 3/32" ID, with @10 wraps of 30ga Kanthal wire.

The short of it is, is that you need to build 2 coils that each have an individual resistance of 3 ohms, which when installed together, will give the atomizer a total resistance of 1.5 ohms. My suggestion would be to build a microcoil, install it individually into the Phoenix, then check your atomizer resistance.

If it reads at 3 ohms, then you need to build it a twin.
