When building a new coil, does it have to be tested with liquid on it, or can it be tested dry? I see videos where someone puts it on a battery to test dry, and I read somewhere else it needs to be wet.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
So the correct answer is "it depends".
Are you testing with an ohm meter, are you testing with your PV, is there a wick in the coil, what is the wick made of ..... pant-pant, can I catch my breath before I go on with the list of things that will change the answer?!?
If you are using an ecig battery to check the ohms then you should put it wet; your ecig battery isn't really a tester and probably expects a wet coil. You battery might be putting out high current and if the coil is dry it is possible your coil could get burnt out.
If you are building coils you should have your own multimeter and use that to measure ohms; measuring ohms does not need wet.
Ok, I got a Klein MM200 multimeter. Is this good for testing dry coils? It is difficult to hold the leads in the appropriate (+ and -) places.
Thanks!
I am testing with a PV - VV gripper and MVP2. Yes, there is wick in coil - silica.
What else?
