Hey I am new to mechanical mods and just purchased one recently. Have done alot of research and looking around. I have built a few different coils at different resistances and also styles. But in the end i get the same result. No vapor im lucky to see it come out my mouth! I know im supposed to be getting clouds at least. If not sime monsters. If someone can please help me that would be amazing because im getting so frustrated and feel stupid. I thought it was mabe the battery i had to i got a imr 35amp continuous high drain battery. 18650 btw. And fully charged nothing.... please ask me questions to mabe help me figure out my problem or what im doing wrong. I just dont know what to do or where to go from here. Im desperate.... heres my current build and its straight ....!!!
Please Help with my mechanical mod problems, hardly and vapor!!!

The build doesn't look too bad. What is that build ohming out at? Are your air holes directly in front of the coils? It looks like you have more of a center build and the airholes are on the sides..
Yeah i think its more of a center build i will move it to the side. And i have tried 5 wraps 7 wraps 10 and 14 and all same result. Its 28 gauge also but ill try 7 like you said and like he said in front of the air holes and see if its any better. This is the only build ive done since i got my new battery today. So hopefully this will help. Thanks so much guys. Oh btw idk what exactly its ohming out at because my ohm reader won't fit my mod idk if i can get a adapter or have to get a whole new one...
Hello and welcome to the forum Chad. Glad to have you here!
Just a FYI for you. If your 35A batteries are purple Efest 2500 mah, they are only 20A continuous. This link is from Baditude (our resident battery/safety expert): Purple Efest Batteries not as Advertised
PM was asking you what the ohm of your build was. If you can't find an adapter, then yes, you must get a new ohm reader.

Thats a ton of wire and the inner diameter looks pretty big as well. The coils are probably taking forever to heat up so you arent getting any vapor while you draw. You
I'll go a step further. If you're firing ANY build without knowing the resistance and checking for shorts you're asking for trouble! Additionally, without a DMM you have no way to determine your battery voltage and therefore, even knowing the resistance, no way to determine your power. Before you do anything else, get a DMM (one that also measures resistance). I know I'm sounding a bit put off but it really is for your safety. Come back when you have one and we'll be happy to help you out.
It has already been stated, but one more time get a meter. You cant go firing coils on a mech without knowing what it is reading prior to hitting the fire button. And that looks like a ton of wire. Might be just enough to be a perfect ignition source for that battery you have in there.
THIS! Safety first!. It's never a good idea to throw random builds at any device. The face you save my be your own.
Here's a link to a coil building tool to help you out as well. Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators Please study it and use it. It also helps to read up on and understand Ohms law.
Moving on, the diameter of your coils looks to be way to big. Try to shoot for 2mm. A 7/32 drill bit is close enough. Proper wicking is also very important.
The other things to check are, the tightness of your post screws ( must be good and snug to make proper contact) and the contacts in the mod itself. Are they clean and properly adjusted to the battery and the atty themselves?
These are things that need to be done in order to get your mod in proper working order amongst others. If you do not understand or feel uncomfortable with any of this, PLEASE! proceed to your friendly local vapory shop and ask for advice and service before proceeding any further. Most any shop that is worth a salt will be more than happy to help you out. If you do not have one near by, take the time to study mod safety and building tips on YouTube.
Not trying to preach to you or put you down in any way, just don't want to see anyone get hurt and would like to see everyone be able to SAFELY enjoy their juice.
Please proceed with caution and I hope this helps....
Distorto out....
