More problems

I went into a random
shop today because my go to store is closed on Sundays. I was looking for some wire (my first wire
buy) and the guy said they were out of 26g but he had some random wire laying around he was pretty sure was 26g..gave it to me free. I got home and tried to build a coil and the it wouldn't fire. All it did was blink where it reads the ohms. What could that mean? I'm running am occ coil right now but it won't last long and I'm headed out of town for work tomorrow so I'll just be hoping there's a local
shop that carries wire.
