New To Rebuild - New To Vaportalk

[Greesetin]

Hey guys!  

Very glad to be apart of this forum as we all have something in common and we can all help each other out.  There are so many details and adventures to vaping and that's why I love it!  I started out vaping on a nautilus mini kit and my brand flavor of choice was definitely Space Jam.  I knew that if I was going to really enjoy it over cigarettes I would need to go bigger so now for my work breaks I enjoy an Aspire Atlantis 2 with an i60 stratus mod.  I freakin love that thing...BUT of course I'm expanding to rebuildables. I now am attempting my own build.

I now have an issue...

I am using the same i60 battery mod with many safety features INCLUDING (caps culturally mean I'm shouting over the interweb in the U.S.) short circuit warnings.  Now this mod is great: 

1) Supports sub ohm .2 - .9 

2) Aforementioned safety (locking, overcharge, etc,)

3) It's goddamn flask shaped and supports not only sub ohm tanks but also (apparently) drippers

 

Now...

I have the 24 gauge kanthal, the organic Japanese cotton strips, and a new atty STRO RDA Mini 

(Spammy link removed)

I wrapped 6 times and watched many videos on how to not screw up...

At first the coils fired so that I could tweak with tweezers in between heating. Then all of the sudden...

Mod reads "warning short"

my atlantis reads ohms and fires the same...back to the RDA...same warnings 

rebuild coils and even used the premade coils from the RDA box kit

still a warning

so I've read that perhaps the resistance is possibly too low for my mod to consider safe...

should i wrap 7 or 8 times or is it really possible to ruin the atty?

After you build your coil on your RDA and you mount your RDA on your ohm reader before putting it on your mod, what does the resistance read?  That will give you your answer.

Yep. Always use a separate ohm meter and never trust that the one on your mod is accurate. They usually aren't.

Get a flipping ohm meter!!! There cheep!!! Welcome to the forum BTW...lol

Oh, and good battery's!!! Jesus mister preacher man let's not forget the battery's!!! Good ones!!!

Give it a shot, sounds like your mod will deter it from shorting out
