So o bought 30 gauge kanthal and have been trying all different wraps bout I always get a reading of 0.0 and the coil won't fire, I've wrapped coils before and am somewhat experienced with it but can't seem to figure this one out any thoughts?
please help

What are you recoiling? What mod are you using it on? Can you post a picture of it?
Most likely you have a short somewhere.

Like everyone is saying, more info please.
Also, don't try firing a coil that is reading a dead short, as it is if it's zero ohms. You are testing the PV's safety system and anything can eventually fail. If you are using the wrong batteries this can get nasty!

I have multiple set ups all running 32 awg kanthal but the 30 is the only one that doesn't fire, I'm still new to this so if more info is requird please feel free to ask anything
What is the resistance of the coil?
EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot it measured out at 0Ω.
You must have a short somewhere. Make sure the coil isn't touching either post or the base of the atty.
Ok, 32 gauge wire on silica wick, to be used on a regulated mod. Resistance is reading 0.0. How many wraps of wire? Have you checked the + and - contacts for secureness or a possible short? Any of the coils touching each other?
What are you using to measure the ohms?
Wondering if 0.0 is an error condition on some mods or something........

30 awg will give you less resistance than 32. That is probably taking you under what the Lambo supports. I don't know the Lambo so I can't give you numbers, but Google is your friend for this
sounds like one of your posts may have come disconnected in the atty, or not making good contact. also, what is the resistance cutoff of your device? is your coil too low resistance for your device to read, and thus not fire?
Ok so I just wrapped two different coils, first with the 30awg five wraps even spaced, checked both posts, hooked it all up still giving a 0.0 reading. Second coil 32awg four wraps installed is running at 1.2 ohms. Could there be anything wrong with the wire itself?
IS 0.0 AN ERROR CONDITION ON THE MYSTERY DEVICE OR NOT????? Sheesh!
P.S.
Get a multimeter if it is. That way you'll know what's going on for real. They're $25.00.......

It is not an error code when errors occur or there is a short the device reads F1
Most likely from your description of your coils with 30 and 32, you're just wrapping too low of ohms for it to read. Google the kanthal resistance chart, and divide ohms per foot by 12 for a base line resistance per inch of wire, I know 30AWG varies between 8.36 and 9 something per foot. then once it's hooked up measure it and see if it's too high or low then subtract the amount that it's too high by from the total length. A calculator and ruler can get you fairly accurate. And then you'll know for future references how long to make it for such amount of ohms.
