Dual 28g nickel around a 3mm screwdriver with 12 wraps. Came out to .13 ohms. On my Tobh 2.5.

I hope someone comes up with a safe way to glow these nickle coils, even if it is just slightly, to check if they are firing right.

Pulsing at 6 watts until the coil barely showed pink worked for me to show how evenly the coil was heating. The coil showed no sign of discoloration, coating or carbon leaching afterwards. Brandon from Evolv said that he lightly glows his touching coils.

That said, I don't know if I will bother glowing coils to check them again. I did 10 wraps of 32 gauge at 3.6 mm. with very wide spacing between wraps. Came out to .49 oHms. Despite the coil being, hands down, the ugliest coil I ever built the firing verified even heating.

Wicking distorted the coil after I checked it. :( However, it was easy to fix and the build which I have been using on my Tilemahos has been working perfectly. I'm guessing that just eyeballing to make sure coils aren't touching might work OK in the future if I stick to wide spacing of wraps.

Temperature protection is great on this but for some reason I can't get my Russian 91% to utilize it. Works on my Quasar and Patriot but when I build a coil on my Russian using 28 gauge Ni200 it always comes out to 0.15 no matter how many wraps I do. Any ideas?

Hahahahaaha. I've been reading all over the place and there's been a growing suspicion that there's just smth "wrong" with the way resistance is read: tons of folks. Reporting the 0.15 regardless of build haha. Not sure if it's user error or a legitimate issue though

Definitely not user error because I can mount a strand of 28 gauge and have it read as 0.15 ohm. It works fine on my other attys but this Russian is being a pain.
