Zeus x rta coil short

[ErrolT]

Hi, I am using a zeus x rta with the aegis legend 3. Today I bought 2 different coils an alien coil and a tri core fused clapton with resistance of 0.22 and 0.26.

Went to install and when I install the 2 nd coil the short curcuit comes up.

It does not happen when I installed the coils I was currently using which have a resistance of 0.28 each.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue please.

Thanks

Hi and welcome,

Single or dual coil configuration?
ID of coil(s), wraps-width?
Photos?

It is not touching the bell as it is marking short before I add the bell. It will mark short when I fire on bare deck.

Just tried the alien coils again, installed the same 2 I previously tried and got the short before, this time I installed one coil, preheated and remove all hot spots and then installed the 2nd one and I got no short error. Both coils installed are reading at 0.09ohms now.

Both coils installed are reading at 0.09ohms now.

That makes sense. When installing 2 coils, you’ll get half the ohms of the single coil.

Yes, but I still do not know the reason why I was getting a coil short before with these coils honestly. I did not have the issue with wotofo dual core fused clapton with same resistance, although those read around 14ohms instead of 0.09ohms. Now I am trying to figure everything out with these coils and best suited wattage.

I believe the Legend 3 won’t fire coils below 0.1 ohms.

well as said currently its marking at 0.09 and it is working well.
