Seriously, does anyone have a packet of Marlboro to hand? I bought a Druga (I'd probably be better with an ABC book to be honest....) Have tried coiling it 3 times - Ni80 twice and with SS316L Each time, on the new VT Inbox, it reads ohms too low 6 wraps on each of the three times, ends cut off, squonk pin put in to the Druga. I just find this whole blasted thing so frustrating All I want is a nice and trendy vape like everyone else....a bit too much to ask?  pre-posting update - Now tried 5 times (3 with Ni80) and a pre-built A1 Kanthal 0.5ohm - All same result - ohms too low....... Help.....please...... |

What gauge wire are you using?
If the pre built clapton is reading to low there is an isssue with the RDA.
Does the RDA your using read short without a build in it or no atomiser?

Try another.

phtumshk - Interesting.....I just tried to fire the Druga without a coil in it and it says Ohms to low.... I know this is another really daft question - but could I have made a screw up when I put the BF pin in? The deck felt slightly loose until I tightened the squonk pin at the bottom.....

kreed - Just tried a Cleito on the VT Inbox and it fires no problem.... How could I kill a Druga in 10 seconds?!?!

Sounds like you've a short circuit/insulator issue..... but not having succumb to the 'dark side' of squonking, nor am I familiar with the Druga.... I can't assist any further as to whether it could relate to the BF pin (.... unless you are missing an insulator ring?).

Also check threads and inside for random metal crap/residue
Remove squonk pin and check that too

I had exactly the same issue with the first Druga that i had, it was a shorting issue caused by the positive pin. Send it back but get another as when you get a good one it's well worth it.

Yep, I've vaped atties down to 0.03 ohm on DNAs, wouldn't recommend that low, but 0.05 ohm has been my ADV/EDV for over 2 years and both DNA 75 version are super consistent with that. DNAs will fire far lower ohms safely than everything else I know of out there, so the most likley culprit is the atty, possible the mod and the least likely is the board or coil, because you just can't get that low with the wire you are using and look like a coil. |

VapingBad - I am absolutely certain it's the Druga I've got my Maze "Pico squeeze killer" running on the VT Inbox now. Did a 6 wrap Ni80 which is about 0.53. A crap vape with that atty to be honest - but at least I know the squonker is working.....

*-SARIN-* - Funnily enough, I was in a local B&M yesterday and saw a Druga for 25 quid myself. Asked the guy in the shop if it came with the BF/Squonk pin. He didn't know. He didn't want to unseal the box unless I was going to buy it.....
