Yeah, the istick is crazy. For my 1.3ohm Rose build, I run it at 9.2W on the istick, but like 13.4W on my other mods. The first thing that happened on the istick was I burned my juice and lip. Put it on the inline voltage meter and said wow, this is really inaccurate. I posted about it on the istick thread and they told me I was crazy and it must be defective. I was very happy when Phil Busardo got the same results. They all shut up then.
Which Kayfun version post screws do you recommend? I cant seem to get a consistent reading with nickel wire bc the lemo post screws suck. And my 3 of my screw drivers arent working quite well which is causing them to get stripped.
Wrap your coil legs once around the screws works every time instead of just trying to capture them with the edge of the screw head.
I do. But im always getting a higher ohm reading for some reason.
Need some advice for my lemo. I've done several builds, Maceo, spaced, traditional micro and chimney coils. They all work great on the first fill, but after refilling the tank I get nothing but dry hits. I've used the fill hole screw as well as the rubber stopper. Usually run around 20 watts, but without fail the second fill always leads to dry hit city. Is there something I'm missing?
That would go to prove you are actually getting better connections and not loosing continuity due to loose connections.
All electrical connections, no matter what they are far need to be tight or you will loose continuity.
That happened to me a couple of times the first week I had it. I think I was overfilling it. After vaping some away, it would stop doing that. And since I figured out exactly where to stop, its never happened again. I've had it 2 months now.
As for weird ohm readings, that happened to me a few days ago. The screw inside the base, that holds the positive block was a little loose. Try tightening it.
Mine used to give me dry hits after refills, but it seems like since I started thinning my wick tails to the extreme it quit doing it. :shrugs:
I too had a center post unscrew one time, it really had me scratching my head for a minute. I smoothed the head of the post, especially around the screw slot, with fine sand paper, and it hasn't happened again. It was really chewing up the contact on my eVic, so I'm kinda glad it happened.
I first thought it was the pin in the Sig100 because a lot of people have had problems with it. Nope, it was the Lemo.
My builds seem to always end up reading higher on my istick than what I anticipate, I aim for a 1.5-1.6 ohm reading, if I do the number of wraps recommended by my micro coil calculator I end up with a reading over 2 ohm, sometimes as high as 2.5 ohm. At first I figured that since I'm using twisted kanthal (either two 32 gauge wires or four 34 gauge wires) maybe the tightness/evenness of my twist was throwing off the resistance. Now that I've heard that other people are having the same issues, I'm thinking twice about it. The build I put in there today is reading 1.9 ohm (1.8 mm, 7 wraps I think), I decided to give a try, still getting great vapor, flavor, and throat hit at around 4.3 volts, just wish it was a slightly warmer vape. I think I'll try a smaller diameter next time in order to get a 1.5 ohm reading.
Just got one today, had to clean it, a bit oily. Kept the coil, re wicked it. Very, very impressive! Found myself having to close off some of the air! Can't wait for my VS to try some nickel builds and crank it up a little!!
Try a single strand of thicker wire such as 27 or 28 gauge and see if the outcome is the same. A small difference in actual pitch of the twist vs. what was pre-calculated can make a big difference in resistance, especially when you're talking about thin wire like 32ga.
In regards to the Lemo, make certain the bottom base cap is fully tightened or you will sometimes get a slightly higher resistance reading then expected.

God I feel so stupid. Finally got my lemo to wick correctly thanks to rip trippers last video:

I had it crammed down the sides so it would block the channels. Poking it towards the walls and seeing the actual juice channel seems to have solved that issue.
Been trying and trying and my juice always ended up charring on the coils due to insufficient wicking. Don't even wan't to think about how many tanks I've ended up dumping in the sink haha
Finally I get to chainvape this beast. Been doing so for the last 10minutes, so kind of have a headrush/buzz going
Edit: I can't even see the damn monitor between puffs.

So... I have a normal
Lemo and a drop coming in... Bought it specifically for the airflow to accomodate my gigantic Ni200 builds. Anyone have a firm number on what the airhole diameter on the deck is? Googling it yields little, other than "so much better than the kayfun" haha
