The "I'm new to nickel builds, help me please!" Thread

[nanotm]

so far this morning I have had to recoil the same sub tank 4 times, every time the mod reads the coil as 0.09ohms lets me toot on it a bit then drops the res reading down to below 0.08 and refuses to fire, does this suggest the mod is faulty or that the coils are just being built wrongly (2.5mmID ni200 at 7wraps) according to steam engine it should be running at 0.095ohms, but for some bizarre reason I cant get it to work for more than a few uses before it starts spitting feathers about low res....

any ideas from those that have been at this a bit longer ?

Try adjusting the leg length in steam engine or just do an 8 wrap coil

yeah about 20 minutes after that post I made a 3.5mm 7 wrap coil checked it before I wicked and it was reading 0.12, wicked it checked again still 0.12, juiced it up put the cap on the rba deck then shoved it on the tank and left it for 20 minutes, and its still reading 0.12, chucgged a couple of 5 sec draws at 20watts, and it back to 0.07.....took it apart and the coil is dragging on the base because of the length of the legs ......

seems I will need to investigate a different diameter wire and probably twist it for strength ..... but I just wanted a simple easy to use tc setup GRRRR


oh well I spun the crius up on some kanthal and that is lovely, put in some mothers milk (0nic) that I got as a freebie during the promo from rejoiced and by god you can taste t he milkshake and strewberry flaverous in it. sucked half a tank thouh that along with half a tank of some zero nic cookie's n cream I got from somewhere else, finished off the pot of menthol I had in the mini nauti and boshed some bubble gum (that I mixed this morning) in it with a fresh coil, loving that but I probably need ot leave it another day for the flavours to develop a bit more, then again I could just increase the amount of conc I put in there from 6 to12% lol
