Problem by using Pre made wires

Very strange as a 1.8ohms should be fine at 8 watts / 3.8 volts

The only thing i can think of is:

Coil is too tight and it is strangling the wick

Or

The wick is not saturated enough with juice

I will try to coil another one tomorrow as now I made a micro coil and it vapes like a train could be like what your saying I'm doing them very tight.

Tricky one then melitahams, are the coils coming out at 1.8, as opposed to that's what they should be?

Yes they show at 1.8 0hm Bluefish as the coils are premade from Stealth Vape.

Strange as it worked on a straight res coil, but yeah do it with a needle to wrap around and it should be fine, if not it must be the coils you are using, maybe? lol

[melitahams]

I don't know now if the coils are good or not I will try last time tomorrow and then I won't again as they made me crazy

[melitahams]

What size of needle I should use or drill bit to put it inside the 2mm ekowool as what I'm using is this like the pic the one next is for comparison

[Bluefish]

that's about the size I use, so should be good.

[melitahams]

So could be I'm doing them too tight then or too loose I will try again tomorrow then could it be that the coil is re used lot of times I mean the metal and the rubber bung?

[melitahams]

I did tried again and no success so I give up and used the normal wire I use to use before and they come both perfect. Could be the pre made wires are build badly ?

If yo.u have a multimeter you could check the resistance of the wire before you make the coil so that you don't waste time making the coil with a faulty wire.

The pre made wires always shows 1.8 ohm or you mean something else @freefromsmoking? I do have a multimeter but the problem is the burn taste

If the wire is ok and you are flaming the wire and the silica, and the coil is not wrapped too tight the only thing that I can think of that would cause the burnt taste is that the coil might be shorting when you reassemble the protank ... is the resistance still 1.8 ohms when the protank is on the evic?

Yes all  of the pre-made coils I had used so far are 1.8 ohm when I test them on the Evic and on the multimeter. But if it shots I guess it won't fire up.

I'm not certain if this is right but if the short is in the middle of the coil, you will just have a very low resistance coil and it may fire but can give a burnt taste? Perhaps Super-Shiny or one of the other recoiling experts can give an answer to this.

I cannot see if there should be any shorts with a pre-made coil melitahams, best way to tell though is put some juice on the wick/coil and fire it up, the coils should all stay the same color and not glow until the juice has evaporated, if one of the wraps of coil glows before the rest then make some adjustments, i.e even them out evenly
