Check the resistance from the positive post to the positive pin then the neg post to the base.

I just checked my subtank mini and got .09 ohms using a calibrated resistance meter.

With the subtank mini you HAVE to tighten the bottom pin. If you dont you will get varying ohms readings. Put a baby screw driver or a little drill bit in the airflow holes and tighten it a little and then they are rock solid.

It also has a high chance of not heating up correctly. There is a reason for dry firing a coil and squeezing it together, so it heats from the center out.

Naa, that's an old wives tale. I do both contact and non-contact coils and they all heat up from the middle first. I do find I get a bit better flavor from non-contact coils though.

Oh, try this twist next time.....

That's a 24/26 gauge twisted/reverse twisted :D
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

OK, that's just making my head hurt ... between twistings and reversings, I don't know if I'm coming or going!

:lol:

I think I'm going to lay in bed watching movies today... the last few days have kicked my ....! Chaos at work with too many changes to product lines in just a few days, and me scrambling to keep up (marketing)... plus construction in my house (removing a fireplace, replacing walls and flooring after roof leak and water damage)... and the construction has stirred up the creepy crawlies - a spider bit me on the face the other day, I found a black widow in my kitchen window yesterday morning, then a scorpion decided to bum rush me in my bed last night. I didn't sleep worth a darn because I kept looking for scorpions.

Saw a pic of one of these last night (coconut crab - friggin' scary huge!) and I'm so glad we don't have them in Texas...

My scorpion looked like this and was just over 3 inches long (which is about the biggest I've ever seen around here)

It is two twisted wires twisted with 2 other twisted wires. Or so it appears to my half awake mind.
won't the wires not in contact with the wick run hotter?
I made it by twisting two strands together (24 and 26), cut that run in half and twisted those together in opposite direction.

In theory, all coils, especially all twisted builds, have parts not in direct contact with the wick... The heat as spreads and balances out.....in practice, it worked really well, though ramp up on a mech would be excruciatingly slow (I was running it on a variant clone....no problem with ramp times :p)

I know the feeling on the Scorpions, wife found this one under a chest in the living room March 8th, 2014 when she was cleaning. Normal ones in these parts are 1 1/2" long.

I'd much rather find one like that, then the smaller neon colored ones..... Those carry more potent venom! (they are also the ones I usually find under my horse water buckets :()

Thanks @Romano Cheese - I am going to NEED to rebuild at some point, since this coil my B&M guy made for me can't last forever.

If you ever need some coils Kat and haven't worked your way up to it let me know. From where I'm at they could probably be there in a day two at the most. :thumbs:

I have tried simple two wire twisted coils which work just fine. I think juice 'wicks' over the surface of the wire. Even with a single wire coil there is a lot of wire surface area not in actual contact with the wick.
