I finally got around to the Hellvape Dead Rabbit RTA that's been in the box for about 2 months. Watched the youtube video about trimming the leads and wicking. Not bad at all, and success on the first try! I only put in one coil to get started.
The coils are pre-made, Hivewire 0.32 mm, 28 GA, and the plastic tube is labeled 0.4-0.5 OHM per coil. However, the Vapresso Luxe mod displays .23 ohms. Another mod displayed 0.25 ohms. Is there an issue? I imagine that the ohms are reduced somewhat when cutting the leads to fit inside the tank.
Or is it possible that some of the wraps in the coil are touching each other, shorting the coil? If so, what's the best way to separate them? Can't do anything now until the tank is empty.
Before wicking, is careful visual inspection enough? Could you run a piece of paper or something between the wraps to verify that they are not touching? Could you insert a knife to try to separate them? Is it a problem at all if they touch?
