How to know if you have a short or not?

This is why I wish the craze for mass produced cheap mech squonkers would fuck off. It’s only a matter of time before someone blows their face off.

I seem to be posting this video a lot at the moment but honestly it’s just so apropos.

It's looks fine but seriously, don't ever put a tank/RDA on a mech without checking it on a regulated mod/ohm reader first..... not ever.

Sorry that I came across as rude before, we are all here to help you and each other but you broke the #1 rule, that could have literally just gone bang when you pushed the button to vape. .... it could have been faulty manufacturing in the RDA even if you checked your build visually.

it's alright. Sorry if i sound like a bit of a noob lol. I have put it down and am now sitting tightly until my coil master arrives. I now know to never vape until i have checked it. Will the meter read 0 ohms if its shorted?

But the problem is, you have no way of knowing your coil is 0.5Ω.

I am going to check it when my coil master arrives, Put it down until then

It will probably flash at you or something like that... like a warning "Don't put this on your mech'

do you not have a regulated mod?

 

[Vape lord]

No you need to check your resistance of your coil on steam engine to make sure your not pulling more amps from what your battery is rated at so it's safe

Yes i shall do. Seen some people using my battery with the same mod so i assume its safe but will check anyway as you can never fully trust youtube!

It's safe if you use an appropriate build so that you're not drawing more amps than your battery can deal with. I don't think you should be using that mod anytime soon. You really don't know what you're doing.

No sadly not. This is a list of all the mods/pens ive had in the past and still do have.

Kangertech drip box (60w)
Ego T battery with aspire k1
Jomotech lite 40

These are the main ones ive had. Still use my good old apsire k1 and my jomotech.

I've got more knowledge than you and I don't use mech mods...

The thing is .... they might be using the same mod and the same battery but it's the resistance of the coil that dictates the amp draw on an unregulated mod. I used to have a pulse, I used to use a Sammy 30Q in mine because I prefer higher resistances, but that's not a cell I would recommend for most people.
