Drilled out the holes on my rda finally...(SO MUCH MORE ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES)...but now the screws seem to be a bit loose. It works fine but occasionally I have to keep make sure its tightly screwed down. Anyone know of any fixes for this?
RDA posts drilled out, i think i need longer screws?

Ha-haaa....that's funny, 1 of my favorite movies !!
My Igo-T is the same way and I never drilled the posts out...PITA !!

The patriot clone I had was pretty constricting, I could barely fit twisted 28 in there. Any one else?
The screw for the center post that came with my patriot clone was too short to secure 28 ga kanthal. I replaced all with longer screws I found at a local hobby shop that specializes in model train repairs.
Yeah, don't do it. That is practically a direct short and can overload batteries quickly. A .1ohm coil on a partially discharged battery at 3.8volts is 144 watts. There isn't a battery in the world rated for that. Fully charged at 4.2v would be even worse.

There is a BIG difference between 72 watts (@.2 ohms) which is still probably more than the battery is rated for, and 144 watts (@.1 ohm) which I can guarantee is 3 to 5 times more than what your battery is rated for. Cutting from .2 to .1 will double the power being pulled from the battery.
That's nice.
A .2 ohm coil with a freshly charged 4.2v battery will have a draw of 21 amps.
A .1 ohm coil with a freshly charged 4.2v battery will have a draw of 42 amps.
Will your battery take a 42amp continuous drain? If not, how do you like the idea of a chemical fire in your hand?
The highest rated batteries I know of are the 30A Sony high drain batts. So pulling 21A on those is fine while 42 is not. Do what you want, just make sure you have someone willing to hide the evidence so that the media doesn't point to your "accident" as proof ecigs aren't safe. We don't need that kind of publicity.
Yeah I'm not sure thats too safe man. I've heard of people doing under .2 builds and it freaks me out. What kind of builds are you doing to get to .2? I just did a .27 ohm build and it was a parallel twisted 30 gauge (which is REAL nice btw)
No, I'd rather him post here and get educated, than ban him and him end up winning a Darwin award while managing to get high drain batteries banned.

I think I've watched every video there is on building coils, and trying to read everything I see as well. There are a few videos of people doing these .09 & .07 builds. One guy says, "PLEASE don't leave any comments about my battery not being rated for this because it's a 30 amp battery.......that's 30 CONTINUOUS amps".
I remember what I was like at 18-28 with the whole "it won't happen to me" attitude. Somewhere around 35 I got the "if it's gonna happen to somebody, it'll probably be me" attitude, LoL
I'll admit I LOVE blowing huge clouds sometimes BUT to me the reward isn't worth the risk, JMO

The real problem with trying to build a sub 0.1 ohm coil is that most meters can't accurately measure that low. Really you may as well just roll a coil using a single strand of silver speaker wire. The screws and metal parts leading from the battery to the coil are probably going to be most of the total resistance anyway and predicting which part is going to get hot first might be anyone's guess. Remember, the highest resistance part is what is going to get hot. In any normal build this is going to be the coil, but if you go too low...well good luck.
Since you don't seem to know anymore than that I'll assume it's a 10amp battery and you're just waiting for an accident to happen.
why the hell would you even want to vape .1 ohm? with a 1/8" air hole at .3 is still too hot for me to enjoy the vape. Not to mention the flavor is pretty much destroyed at that heat level.
