Well that was a bugger of a first build.
Microcoil built. Went to seat it after trimming the legs and it pushed back through. Couldn't get the bloody thing back in.
Repeat x3.
Microcoil number 4 gets seated nice and securely, reads 9.9 on the Ohm reader. Short. Fuck.
Rip it out, build number 5. Short again.
Decide that I will just go with a standard silica build. In seated no problem. Reading as a short again. At this point I remember that it has an adjustable 510. Screw it out a bit, 1 ohm. Arse. I could have saved myself a foot of kanthal.
It is a little lower than I normally prefer, but it is vaping nicely. Hopefully it will get a bit easier.
Only niggle now is that it will not fit on the viggo. Might just be the threads needing a clean, but it seemed too big.
