Steam Turbine

I got my Steam Turbine in the mail today. I cleaned it and set it up with a single wick and coil just as I have my RSST many times. However...When I put it on my SVD to check resistance I get the "non" message. Ive tried redoing the wick and coil several times now with the same result. Any ideas as to why I cant get a resistance reading?

"NON" means no load is being detected, but it can also sometimes happen when the load is too low as the SVD isn't really meant to run at or below 1.3-1.5 ohms. So if your coil is below 1.3-1.5, it most likely isn't going to work.

1). Have you tried other tanks or rba's and are they working fine?

2). Do you have an ohm meter to test the resistance of your coils?

Check this video out for complete details :). It'll be easier than reading a post and you can reference it in the future.

If you fire below a certain resistance, it'll activate the short-protection circuit and the device may turn off.

:facepalm: Cart before horse.
First let's buy it then we can figure out how to work on it.:blink:

Please, for your safety, spend a little time learning all you can about setting up coils and testing resistances. Safety First.

While I do agree, with the SVD there's really little worry because of the protection that comes built-in with the mod, but if it was a mech, I would have suggested reading up on how to use them and the safety concerns with potentially running a low ohm coil (which is what I feel is being done here). Thankfully the SVD will just tell you no and fail to run, thus preventing the potential for such issues.....

Still, reading up wouldn't be a bad thing, beyond how to use a multi-meter.
