I'm rebuilding my Aspire BDC heads with 32ga Kanthal micro coils and they seem to shorting out on each other. I'm fairly new rebuilding coils but have a very good grasp on electronics and such. I have a mech mod with an RSST I've been rebuilding with great success, doing sub ohm builds (yes I do the math, I stay at about .5 ohms and use a sony vtc3 battery, safety is important) Only been vaping for about 2 months and just want to rebuild the heads in the Aspire I bought as a starter for fun as to save money (I still use my Aspire mini on my 1100mah ego twist clone when I'm out and about) I've rebuilt two different heads both with 32ga Kanthal. One had 10 wraps per coil (both coils) and came out two 2.5 ohms the other I did 6 wraps per coil (both coils) and it came out to 1.6 ohms. I use cotton as the wicking material The problem is the ohms seem to jump all over the place on my ohm meter signifying a short. It seems to me the legs from the upper coil are shorting on the lower coil. I know the manufacturer uses resistance no resistance wire for their coils and insulates the legs of the upper coil with some kind sleeve material. I've seen a few videos of people including Rip Tripper rebuild these heads and there appears to be no insulation between the upper and lower coil when they rebuild them. Am I missing something? The coils in my builds don't appear to be touching each other, any opinions would be appreciated. I havent reached my five post limit yet but when I do Ill repost this in the rebuilders forum.
