Coil ohm question

Small wire in a big hole ? Not locking the wire down ! Screw might be bottoming out .

By bottoming out what do you mean?

The screw is tightening down as much as it will go but not going down far enough to trap the wire. This only normally happens if you are using very thin wire such as 28 gauge or smaller but will depend on the atty.
If it is a flat slotted head screw , make sure the screwdriver isn't too wide or it could be catching in the threaded hole and not allowing you to tighten properly. That only counts if the screw goes lower than the top of the post.

tell ya what. Heres a picture. Will make it easier for us to all figure it out. I am showing the post screws and the screwdriver im using.

They should lock on that coil. Are you sure you've got the legs pushed in the holes far enough to trap them. It's sometimes difficult to see with a postless deck. It's all feel. Make sure the screws are trapping the leg and not pushing it down the side of the screw.

ill unscrew the coil and then put it back in

Hi there. It changes if i put my screwdriver down the side of the screw. its down the left side. Its a conductive thing for sure because if i put my ceramic tweezers down there, nothing changes.

You're catching pos & neg parts simultaneously. I can replicate it on the 22 but only on one screw. It's where the 2 parts of the deck are separated by the insulator. Nothing to worry about if it's just you being ham fisted with the screwdriver but a good lesson for problem solving should you get the same behaviour when you're not touching anything. If it had been a piece of wire on the deck bridging the insulator you may have created a short.

Ah right got ya. So as long as i dont put it on my mod and vape with a screw driver jammed in there it will be okay?

As you wouldn't get the cap back on to be able to vape it then it's not relevant. The point I tried to make was this is how a problem with your attie could present itself & as you found it while on the reader you can fix it. As I said had it been a piece of wire causing it & you hadn't checked before firing it on the mod, you may have been asking this question sat in A&E. Check everything you do before you commit to the mod.

Update. Actually i was wrong. its still doing it." ]

I thought you said the screw wasn't locking down !
