How to know if you have a short or not?

Woah there don't be thinking I actually know what I'm doing

Haha my mistake

Hotspots are when your coils have not been bedded in properly and they glow unevenly with certain areas of the coil glowing brighter than others. Once your coils are installed you need to make sure they glow evenly with no bright spots and that they glow from the middle wraps outwards when you fire them. This is either achieved by strumming / stroking the coils with ceramic tweezers, pinching the coils, or a combo of both. Or by making your coils spaced to begin with you can pretty much eradicate hotspots but spacing them still does not remove the need to make sure they glow evenly. And even spaced coils can have some hot spots when using complex multi-wire coils.

TBH tho mate. You really shouldn't be using a mech. Not being a dick. Being honest. But hey-ho. Life could be a dream, sh-boom sh-boom!

As i have said before tho mate and ill say it again. We all have to start somewhere. At least i have a nice amount of cash that i can spend on decent equipment i can use to ensure safety. I know that my battery is capable of handling my coils ohms. I know that my ohms are where i want them to be and not too high and not too low. I just need to keep learning but i know the things which will stop me getting my face blown to smithereens.

I think though we all probably would have wished that you started off with a regulated mod. When you're first building coils it's so easy to make a mistake. We've all been there. The great thing about a regulated mod is it catches any mistakes and protects you from it. Its good just to give you that wee bit extra protection whilst you're finding your feet. But just stick to the steps the guys have given you and check, check and check again. You're braver than I am

You are absolutely correct that we all have to start somewhere. And that is learning to build on a regulated device. You don't start with a mech. You start with a regulated device and you learn the basics and how to build consistently until it's second nature. And only then do you consider moving over to mechanical mods. You don't learn this stuff overnight. You learn it over time. That's how you ensure you don't make mistakes as mistakes can be very costly. Like I said, I'm not being a dick, I'm being honest. The questions you're asking are some of the most basic that you need to know when using a regulated mod let alone a mech! I'm just saying mate. If I didn't give a fuck I'd keep my mouth shut and say nothing. I'm glad your asking questions and don't be put off asking more. But my best advice to you is to buy a regulated device and use that for a while until you can build consistently and it's all second nature. Then come back to your mech. That's my honest heartfelt advice. Take it or leave it. That's your choice bud. But I gotta say it as I see it.

Shit guys this stuff is scary. I have checked chris k steps and i have followed every one of them. What do you think by this? Love my pulse mod but have all the equipment so all i would need is this mod. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hexohm-V...hash=item4b2a7bb2ba:m:mBjuhalb5Sgkj_64nnoBxQQ

I agree with @vapemac it's better to learn coil building on a regulated. It also allows you to fine hone your building skills and also helps you learn what wattage you like vaping at. It's also good practice initially to swap your atty from the mech to a regulated so you get a better feel for how much power you've still got in your batteries.

Hi mate. I agree with you and you obviously know your stuff. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hexohm-V...hash=item4b2a7bb2ba:m:mBjuhalb5Sgkj_64nnoBxQQ
What do you think of this? i love the look and feel of my pulse bf mod but i will happily buy one of these if it teaches me how to built properly and safely.

Not genuine & not what folk have meant by regulated.

I don't have any experience of that mod and I generally wouldn't advise buying from ebay unless its a reputable seller. From what I can see though that mod doesn't have a display. You want something that'll read your ohms, probably with variable wattage so you can get to know what watts you like to vape at. I take this is your first real mod bar cheapo pens.?
