What am I doing wrong

[Clay Bungart]

So I have tried 3 times to make a nickel build in my rda and every single time I fire it up after 2 seconds my coil snaps I have 28 gauge ni200 wire I tried 10, 15, and even 20 wraps and.I spaced em out. Please help

Stupid question, but are you firing the coil in tc mode? What's your Watt and temperature settings?

420f and 50 watts

Hmm. If tc is working the coil definitely shouldn't snap due to heat. Does the coil glow when fired dry? It shouldn't. The only other thing I can think of now is that you might be snipping the wire in the post holes. Nickel is very soft and I've experienced that problem in a number of atties.

I'm not putting the lead in the hole the last time I wrap around the screw and it still snapped and they are glowing bright

Try dropping the watts a bit see if that makes a difference also did you buy the wire from a good source as I know the fasttech nickel seems to vary massively in quality with one batch doing the same as yours. Do you have other tanks you can try building on long shot but might be something with you RDA.

Bought wire from local vape shop and I'll try at lower watts rn

So might possibly be a bad batch of wire in the UK I know stealthvape has quality wire but I'm clueless about the US but I'm certain someone can point you to a tried and trusted company.
