just built a RSST with 400 mesh and 3 coils of 28 wire. reads .65 on my resistance meter. that too low? haven't filled it yet.
too low ohms?

d3mon, do you have any other wire? Just wondering because you could do the same wrap with a lesser ohm coil and sounds like this one of your first attempts. Above 1 ohm is awesome if you rock it right 
Be careful d3mon or your Bolt might just glow in your hand!!
Do you have another mod to put it on (safety)
or
I would try some 30 wire if you have any. The more wraps you put on using the 28 gauge, then it will take longer and longer to get to vape speed!!!

Totally agree Rader2146. I was referring to the heat that a thin walled Bolt will omit at low resistances!
I'd want to keep her above 1.0... Your getting into very dangerous territory running sub-1.0 ohms- especially without AW IMR batteries... I'd be less concerned with the mod you're using and more concerned about what batteries you're using. AW's can handle a hard, fast load much better than other brand batteries. Heck.. I've been working with RBA's for quite some time and I'll NEVER wrap a coil less than 1.2 ohm
Also, Ohms can fluctuate... I've rolled coils at 1.3; only to have them drop to .9-1.0... there is no telling where a .65, or even a .78 could end up.
Please... be careful; you can blow yourself up! Many folks believe a hotter coil makes for a better vape, but that is not necessarily true. More often than not, more wraps on a coil increases the coil's surface area contacting the wick- creating a higher volume of vapor- sometimes creating better taste. Experiment... try to make the perfect coil instead of the hottest coil. Again... whatever you do, be safe!

I'm not sure I get what you are saying... but I don't think waiting for a switch to die is an adequate safety measure
I'm the same way about safety, although I go a little lower. I won't build a coil or vape below .9Ω; and won't use anything but IMR batteries. I use only AWs and Efests.
This is my second rba build on the RSST. the first was .81 ohms with 3 coils the bolt never got even slightly warm. where's a good place to get a spool of 30 gauge?
I wasn't happy with the .6...so i rebuilt to a 4 coil that came out to a steady .83 (after reworking the .78 a bit).
running an efest in a bolt @ .8 ohms is unsafe?? i took this from someone else who suggest .8 with 28 wire on a bolt. i also picked up the IMR 18500 3.7 li-mn efest batteries because they were suppose to be safer and better than my green "smok" 18500s? if i need to add coils, and/or up my gauge, let me know.

.8 with 28 + IMR 18500=SAFE. no problem. You made me want to dig up my old black bolt, its gotta be somewhere...
these dudes have me sweating it this morning. DNW exploded face. but i AM interested in going to 30 gauge...or even bumping my coils up a full extra coil (mainly cuz i REALLY enjoy making them lol)...can i pull this coil and re-wrap around the current wick? i dont see why not...

28 ga wire with 3/4 wrap on 400 mesh in AGA-T2 on my black bolt with efest battery, rockin Vaporbeast Holy Grail = CLOUDS!
i feel my HHV Heavenly waffles vape (60/40) has TOO hard a throat hit...upping the ohms help that?
