I can't heat up my coils!

[Tony8806]

Any recommendations on specific ohm meters?

[mvince201]

Get a good one from a good vendor, no ebay bullcrap.

I suck at provideing links.... lol But I'll make sure one gets posted for ya! It's not an expensive device, but can be a life saveing one.

Yea knowing I can get my hand blown off by one of these things is pretty scary...

You're holding a high discharge lithium ion battery inside of a solid metal tube...come on now.

While were on this subject will paper clips work good for coils?

[fishguy1123]

Annnddd you're out of the club! lmao

[mvince201]

Bahahahaha

Well that was short lived.

[fishguy1123]

Back of the bus for you! lmao

You were testing with both coils right? At the ohm resistance I calculated which is what I call elbow level, because in an accident that's about how much it will take off in a best case scenario, if you're test firing with one of the coils but not the other, the resistance would be too low for almost anything to fire especially those batteries. The lower the resistance the more current the coil draws at once when fired. Hence the "boom" we are worried about. Hold off until you see what it does on the ohm meter but remember when you build your coils that will matter. We threw a lot at you at once, mostly big red warnings but as long as you have the right safety/critical building materials and take your time, the job isn't too difficult at all.

How did you get that pic damit? I thought I deleted it 30 yrs ago....... lol
