rebuilding kanger heads , help please

[jerseyman32]

I just Started rebuilding my kanger dual coils and im having a issue , seems like when i build them and check my ohms on my meter they are right where i want them but when i put them in my tank and fire them up the ohms fluxuate like crazy from low to high ohms, any idea why it happens ? It occurs even when i build single coils. Anyway to fix this? Thanks

My guess is you are not trimming the leads short enough and as you tighten down on it the rubber/silicone bushing is getting squished and causing chaos. Try trimming them shorter if you can or try tucking them in a bit so they done peek out.
I've found that twisting them off works better than cutting them. YouTube it.

Really good thread on rebuilding Kangers with a ton of knowledgeable people. This is where I started when rebuilding coils for my PT2.

Mac is a rebuilding Guru!

Hey JM,

Are you building them on the same device you are vaping them on, or a dedicated meter?

Dont forget the basics of clean terminals. The kanger heads with that open nipple system will, even at best, weep a little juice on to the connection and once that dries or scums up it can make ohms fluctuate allot. Also tucking the leads under the gasket helps me, I`m always afraid they`ll get scrunched and poke out and cause a short, so I tuck/bend them in between the insulator and the terminal piece.

What gauge wire are you using? I tried 32g and 34g in kangers and they don't make good contact. Now I use 30g 5/4 wrap on a 2mm rod gives 1.8-2.0 ohms.

JM if you're attempting a contact micro coil you're seeing the result of incomplete oxidation. Enough gaps in the coil or inadequate pulsing will leave you with a hot coil, high or low. Lot of good info on the Protank thread above. Hail me there and you're sure to get help from an experienced builder.

Good luck.
