Dual coil atties - one side not firing?

[nwhornet]

Thanks @nwhornet. Each mesh strip (A1) from Steam Crave is 0.15. When you pop both in, the resistance should double, if I'm not mistaken, so my resistance looks right. I'm getting 0.35.

I just don't understand why one mesh strip won't fire by itself. Like if I remove one strip from one side, shouldn't the other strip still fire? What I'm getting is one strip will fire on only one side, but not the other. Is this normal? Apologies, this is my first dual mesh atty. If you tell me it's normal, then I guess I'll be relieved. Hah. In my case, the side that doesn't fire just gives me a check atomizer or no atomizer warning. Is it the same with yours?

If you take a mesh strip out it breaks the circuit and it wont fire hence check/no atomiser. That's the way series decks work.

All right, mate. That's a relief to know that! I'll give it go.

If you're getting the expected resistance you're good to go. As I said previously there's some lag between both meshes, especially at low power. Once wicked & juiced up you'll be putting plenty more power through so both sides will heat up quicker.
Enjoy it, it's decent rda.

Thanks mate. Really appreciate the help. I guess the reviewers threw me off because their first step was getting both strips to glow evenly.

Anyway, I'm at 100 watts with only four holes open on each side of the single airflow slots. I like a really restricted DL. I'm getting some nice warmth and a definite kick to certain juices that I felt needed a bit more power.

The Pumper also works very accurately. I'm hitting the button maybe once every four drags. No dry hits or over squonking/pumping.

Glad you're getting on with, the mesh rda & pumper are a good combo. Series does need plenty of power though. Glad to have helped.
