I think you're right about checking every nut and bolt of the Kayfun, and other 2 tanks too. I'd washed the Kayfun for the first time the other day, and unscrewed something I shouldn't have. Had a faff putting it back together, but it seemed fine. [is the Subtank that had the gold pin sticking out, but I discovered it was upside down, lol]. Using Subtank now, with corrected base pin, and ... was just about to type it's steady at 0.5 but it's just jumped to 2.1! Makes me really nervous to vape. Looking at the occ heads very much indeed right now. Odd, as used same pre-made and same 24 awg for various coils today, same as when coiling used to work fine before. Maybe if I try an occ, if there's still jumping that would confirm the tanks need fitting together again ... may take them to the vape cafe if so. Might be to do with tools; supposed to use only ceramic on the coil? Read different things, so just got some little plyers, but wondering if I'm shorting everything if there's something wrong with tools. 

EDIT: just put Subtank on iStick instead, and, even without pressing the button, ohms rapidly jumping and changing, lots of times in succession. 
Put 0.5 occ head in Nano, and reads 1.1 ohms on Sigelei 150w, 0.7 on mpv3 [occ's always used to read 0.5, reliably]. On iStick, reads 0.6. 

You're right phtumshk; just looked it up and seen the solution is to tighten one end of the spring. Having soldiered on with the Kayfun, and 4+ coils later, I've switched to Subtank for now ... posts are easier. At the moment, field where I gave any ***** has long been sold onto a developer, lol. Will take a look at the Kayfun again after a good rest, as it's a great tank; just needs more concentration than I can muster right now, after hours of trying.  Goblin and Goliath clones on way; liked the posts, so am hoping can do better with that kind of post. 

Thanks decoy. I've been having some issues with the screws sticking, or sometimes I suddenly notice the screws have somehow loosened despite me tightening them. Bit crunchy. Just washed tanks in new ultrasonic the other day, so am surprised at this kind of thing happening. Not using occ heads. Is there any way to get the gold pin that's stuck out back in [subtank]?

It's the kayfun I'm battling with today; will have another go now. 

Hiya 

Am really really confused ... I was building single coils at 0.5 fine, and occasionally using a pre-made, steady away, but recently every time I make a coil, or use a pre-made, the ohms jump all over, with any combo of Sigelei 150w, mvp3 30w, kayfun 4 clone, subtank [istick and subtank mini together are fine] ... that must mean it's me. I've cleaned the 510 pin thingies, washed tanks, checked batteries, really concentrated even harder when making/fitting coils, but every single time it's going wrong. 5 tries yesterday, on 2nd try today and getting so fed up. Can only take a tiny draw and ohms shoot up eg from having already risen to 1 ohm to then 1.4 ohms.

Have just got a coiling tool, which is great, new plyers that I save only for fidding with the coil (old ones are for anything else), new wire clippers, etc. Being careful to place the coil right, to tighten just enough so it's secure, to be very careful with plyers. Neither pair of plyers are ceramic, but did coiling fine with the old ones. 

Got a fright the other day when first attempt at rda ended up in a little fire, but I could see afterwards that I'd missed some of the cotton.  Don't know whether I'm being overcareful and maybe overtightening at the posts, or lost my nerve, or what. If it is that, just to check, it's impossible for fire to blast up the drip tip, except on an rda? And the worst thing that can happen when test-firing a coil is the legs drop off and the coil sits on the airhole? 

Unsure if it's something to do with the new tools, or that I've got a bit nervous, or both ... coils gone wrong since both things. Subtank has a gold pin sticking out of the bottom of it, which I can push in and out easily, since cleaning tanks and things going wrong. Eventually got them all back together, and just using Subtank as it is, since the pin goes up into the base anyway. One or two coils have lasted a day or so, then start jumping, so have to be changed. Previous coils were lasting fine. Tried everything possible, so it's time to ask!

Just to ask what thickness of wire you use, as, when I tried, I couldn't get the silicone grommet back in. Frustrating to say the least, lol.
