What is this sorcery?

[Llamasquito]

Hello, got a bit of a problem here.
I installed coils to my dead rabbit (rta) and everything was fine, put it back together and checked the ohms again and it dropped alot and i think a coil hit the metal covering the deck.

So i tried fixing it by lowering the coils and checked them again, glows fine no issues i can see of but the resistance is way off, no clue what the hell changed.

It was perfect until i put it together and had to fix it, now i cant get it to hit the correct ohms.
Should be around .13 and its about .21 atm.

Any ideas?

Sorcery was originally a Roman word referring to people who attempted to predict the future. That’s probably not what you mean though.

Yeah. You or whoever made the coils messed up the calculations or measurements. If you wrapped the coils the solution is simple. Wire is cheap. If it’s not working right I generally just do it over.
If they’re store bought coils the solution is also simple. Don’t buy that brand of coils again. Their quality control seems to be poor. Meanwhile I’d just wick it and vape it. .26 is a totally decent ohm rating for DL.

Tell us about the coils you made?
Material/wraps/ID?
What is the resistance of each coil?

Do you have another RDA or just the DR?

Cheers

Are you sure the original # was the correct ohm? Perhaps you had a sliver of metal on the deck or something.

Prebuilt framed claptons, ss and kanthal if i remember correctly.
.26 per coil so it should come as .13, i messed around with it and got it closer to the point its supposed to be works okay but the coils are .....
Thanks for help anyways

I generally get very little use out of exotic coil builds. They rarely work any better than plain wraps and then only for certain things. It’s a gimmick.

That depends on how you vape but I somewhat agree. I like big dense clouds with alot of flavor. The coils I use are alot better than simple round wire but are not wildly exotic.

Tri core coils are my favorite but do like to try more exotic at times. Single wire just doesn’t seem to satisfy me.

are you saying your reading changed between the time you first mounted the coils and wicked it, to the time you reassembled the RTA for vaping?

If so, check how closely you trimmed the wire to the post. On some RTA's there simply is no room between the deck and the chimney and if you haven't trimmed perfectly you may get wire touching the chimney.. normally it will ground out and not fire on a regulated mod, but on rare occasions it may simply change the ohms reading ever so slightly.

Go by feel, if you can feel your wire ends sticking out then trim more closely..
