The only thing i have noticed w/the batts. is they drain in about 1/2 the time, and chain vaping does cause the atty to get a little warm, most of the time after a few pulls, before the unit gets warm the nic rush will almost knock you of your feet, @ 24mg. Am i in danger of blowing myself up? I am a rookie ya'no.

ok now this was a post Ez made a while back, now he wasn't even talking about twisted in that you are at an even higher risk with twisting it and are risking not just frying a 18350 but any 18650 you use

EZkill (Post #6689 – also see Post #6700): If you do too few wraps you’re going to end up with a .4 ohm coil which is going to start pushing your batteries too far. Just make sure you know what you're doing. 28AWG has approximately 1/3rd the ohms of 32. .4ohm coil needs about 10 amps to fire on a fresh battery....which can fry a AW IMR 18350.

Edit: Also with that thick of wire you are basically taking out your safety in case of bad shorts. Consider the thinner wires to be a fuse. Bad short will pop the coil and you're good. Thick wire...nope it won't pop. That makes it easier to setup but I wouldn't recommend it unless you really know what you're doing.

Meter your ohmmage and get your amp draw. Than check your batteries amp ratings.

Unit getting warm after a few pulls doesn't sound normal. Atty warming up is normal.

Be careful, I don't want to hear any horror stories (especially in NY).

If you're a rookie, I really don't suggest twisted 28g.

Personally played with twisted 28g but would never use it for an all day vape.

the multi meter I bought seems to be 1 ohm off .so I'm guessing I have A 1 ohm coil cause it reads 2.

Touch the leads together on your MM. If it reads 1 ohmmage subtract that for all future readings.

1 ohm coils aren't bad, sub 1 ohm coils you need to start keeping an eye on them.
