Why recoiled heads not working on ego batteries?

[boshans]

So I recoiled a bunch of my evod heads with 32awg kanthal and cotton wicks, and one or two with 30awg with cotton. The ohms range from 1.5 to 2.0, 2.5, 2.8. They work great on my evic, amazing really. No shorts or anything, they just work. But every time I put them on my joye 1000mah ego 3.3v batteries, it doesn't fire. The button flashes and goes out like instantly. I just tried it with a 1.5 ohm head, which should give ~7.2 watts on the ego, and it didn't fire, so I took it off the ego and put it on my evic and it works fine. Same thing with the higher ohm ones also. What gives? I don't see why it wouldn't be working, especially the 2.0 or 2.2 ohm heads I made. The only thing I can think of is the connection on the ego and evic are somehow different, even though they look exactly the same, plus they obviously worked before I recoiled it, it isn't like I changed the connection, just the coil. Doesn't make any sense to me. Anyone experience this before?

And the egos work fine with stock head in the evod so it's not the ego battery or anything.

Ya, down to about 1.5 or 1.6 ohms everything should work on all your batts. The first thought I had is that your heads are intermittently shorting. I've had this happen to me with coils I've built. I have no other explanation for your experience, but that doesn't mean I'm right. Let's see what other people chime in with.

I've rebuilt 3 Evods with 32awg kanthal/cotton at 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 ohms and all have worked fine on my Ego-Twists and Minis.

The only similar issue I had was with my first build I didn't clip the wire close enough to the base and it wouldn't fire - don't recall if I got any blinks or not. Once I trimmed it up all was good.

Maybe Ego threads are slightly tighter/less tolerant fit than the Evic?

I can't explain it, but I have seen the same problem with one of my ego batteries. It will work just fine with anything stock I put on it, but if I make a new coil, any resistance, it won't work on that ego battery. The rebuilt device will work on anything else I own except that battery; will even work on other ego batteries! I've been through it all, checking for shorts, on and on, and I have yet to explain it. I guess that's yet another reason to not buy any more ego stuff.

exact same thing happened to me. I didn't clip the middle wire short enough, and it kept shorting. That's the wire that goes in the middle/positive part, not a third wire. took the center/positive post out and clipped again. THAT fixed the problem.

Maybe you got the center pin in a tad too far on the rebuilds, or the ego connection is slightly depressed?

It also could be the weak 2.5 amp switch on the ego. I believe the eVic has a 3.5 amp switch.

I actually just checked and the heads don't work on either of my egos....so annoying. I think it has to do with the center pin, at least for me.

I just compared the ego and evic connections, on the ego the ego threading is further down than on the evic, so the center post of the evod is going to be a lot more tight on the 510 connections post than on the evic. So maybe the connection is getting crushed to much or something. When I cut the wires on the new heads, well I didn't cut them I just wiggled then until they broke off, so it is really really flush against the rubber pieces and the post. Maybe it isn't making a connection on the ego cause it's getting crushed to much...only thing I can think of lol. Or the ego is just dumb.

Try pulling the center (positive) pin out just a bit on the device. My kanger T3s will work just fine on my spinner, but then. To on the ego because the positive connection on the spinner is further down than the spinner. Pulling them out (just a smidge) makes the connection and they work just fine.
