RDA Problem with Magma clone (doesnt show ohms)

[ALX21]

I just started on rdas this week, i bought a few cheap drippers on fasttech to use on my istick. My idea was to basically see if i like dripping before i invest on a bigger, more powerful mod and everything that comes with it

So I got an A6, an Igo-L, an atomic Clone and a Magma, i started praticing my builds, staying between 1,2 ohms and 2 ohms, so it works on the istick

i built the 3 others ones no problems but when i got to the Magma it just wouldnt work. I put it on my ohm-meter and it doesnt give me a reading.
I tried it on the istick and it says check atomizer.

I tought i did some thing wrong (i placed the coil between the two posts with the leads going opposite ways, like an S)
So i undid everything an rebuild it with some pre-made 1,5ohm coils i got, on one side. Still didn't work!

So I tried it a third time with another build but placed normally on one side and it still doesnt read anything!

Now before you ask, i tried other atomizers on the ohm-meter and it reads them fine! So my guess is that theres a problem with the Magma!

Its a clone from fasttech, the appearance, build quality and machining look great, and i dont see anything unusual about it! Ill try to post pictures of it when i get home!

Could be the atty. I'd like to see a pic of your build. You've got me curious now...

Try putting an adapter between the istick and the magma, for some reason my other halfs istick doesn't read my magma but it works fine on my ipv2, I think the 510connector on the magma might short on the Istick

the thing is the ohm-meter is not reading it either!
what type of adapter, if i can find one ill still try

i was just thinking about this, is it possible the that the 510 pin on my close just too short and its simply not making contact? How would i go about verifying that?

I tried doing some more trouble shooting, there is a little screw under the 510 pin on the magma. i unscrewd it so it would stick out a bit. I was able to get a reading from the ohm-meter but is all over the place because the screw is wobbly since its loose.
So at this point i'm almost sure the 510 connection on my Magma is probably too short

heres some pictures for what it's worth,
i also redid my first build where i put it between the two posts, im a total noob when it comes to rdas, can someone tell me if its supposed to work or should i always place the coil on one side only?

It's not very good looking but keep in mind i barely know what im doing lol and i couldn't fire it and heat it to tidy it up!

Build your coil so that it'll sit over the air flow, not between the posts. I think you'll have a bunch of leak issues with your current build because the tail off wick will be right by the air holes

I agree, I build single coil on mine and do one coil over the air hole then use the ring to block the air hole on the opposite side,

And yep it is the 510 being too short to make contact, but you can't leave the screw loosened as you'll get a poor connection not sure what to suggest
