coils in a nemesis glowing red

[frank 133]

Okay I bought a nemesis,I had a go at making the coils,I have never done this before ,so I am not to sure if I am doing it right.
I used 400 mesh and 32 wire,I burnt a few coils out near the centre post,but appear to have that sorted.
The taste is bad,the throat hit will kill you,its burnt taste is bad,
The battery is a 1860,
If you ask me about ohms,I would not be able to tell you,my multi meter says .1 it jumps about a bit.
What I need is a rule of thumb answer[not technical ]
how many coils on a ss mesh wick,how close together should they be.
The coils I have at present light up like a electric fire,[looking at old posts ,this is wrong?
If I want to decrease the heat ,do I add or take away the number of coils,
At the moment I get not a lot of vapor,and a bad dry burn taste,even dripping on the wick does not help.
I get more vapor out of my clearomiser,
I have checked hundreds of posts,so I don't unintentionally waste peoples time, asking a question that has been asked before,thanks if you can advise me,

What are the ohms on your coil??? That is VERY Important,.

its also a mech mod, make sure your battery is NOT fresh off the charger...

and dont get your coils too low.


If you are burning out coils or getting a burnt taste, your wick probably isnt ox'ed enough

OK Frank your resistance is way too low, what thickness of wire are you using and how many turns...

 

[Tubbyengineer]

KulrMeStoopid, he doesn't know but says his meter reads 0.1!

 

[Tubbyengineer]

What atomiser are you using and did you search out any youtube tutorials first?

im just waiting for it to go Boom!

This is one of the reasons I'm being careful with the battery info for the wiki...

first you dont mention what atty but as your using mesh i assume its a genesis style tank. so first off is it an RSST, if it is then the tank is insulated , if not then that could be first cause. any genesis style tank otehr than an RSST you have to ensure your mesh is NOT touching the bottom of the tank othrwise it will short out giving you ohms all over the place.
second did you flame your mesh first.
to try and keep it simple i cut a section of mesh around 4cm by 3cm. then flamke it flat with a soufle portable burner though a lighter will do the job just takes a bit longer. then fold one edge over by about 1 mm then roll from the oppsoste end. this gives you a smooth edge.
try and keep the mesh hollow a little bit. a good way is straighten a paperclip and roll the mesh around that.

Once you have the mesh to right size leave the paper clip in for sbaility and pop it in your atty. if its a non insulated pull it up a little so its 2-3mm off the bottom of the tank.

next your wire.
again i tend to flame my wire first with a lighter or butane torch to take out the tension. Now with your .32 anything between 3-6 wraps is fine but i tend to aim for around 4 wraps which will give me around 1.8 ohms. spacing between each coil around 1mm max but not touching ( only have the coils touching if doing micro coils. )

easiest way is attach wire to the negative post first and screw it down then just wrap ( not to tightly around your mesh )
4 wraps is fine, keep in the paperclip as it keeps the mesh upright. then attach to centre postive post and if any of the coil looks a little uneven spaces just give them a tweak or nudge with some tweezers or screwdriver.
pull out the paper clip then give the thing ( no juice yet a couple of short bursts on your mech. ( if you have ohm meter check first to see what your getting. if its not between 1.6 - 1.9 then its shorting somewhere.
now pulse fire your mech once its checked holding fire button for a few seconds, release then do again getting the coils heated and coated with more carbon. if all is good the coils should heat up from the middle outwards. any hot spots especially on the postitve or negative tail just give a nudge with the screwdriver/ tweezers on the coils pushing them together or seperating them and fire up again. once it gloes from middle outward add a few drops a juice and give it a few more burst fires and you should get some nice vape coming off. if all good fill up ya genny and your good to go.

Thanks for the info much appreciated,I will now take everyone's advice ,
I did watch hours and hours of utube,
This atty is a steam turbine,so can be double coiled,[not by me it cant]lol
[waiting for it to go boom]fills me with confidence now] .lol
every tutorial makes it look easy,[why isn't it] to be honest I know it takes practice,so keep at it ,cheers everyone.
I think the coil spacing is way out,and I should flame everything more,
nice one cheers

If your using unprotected batteries get yourself a few safety fuses there cheep as chips
