No Longer A Virgin...

New Curiosity Developing...

About four times today I'll be vaping and get no pull, look at my mod and it's showing zero ohms. I'll either unscrew the tank completely or just a few turns, screw it back down, click for new coil, select Yes, and be good to go. Ideas?
Additionally, nearly each time this occurs, after selecting Yes on the new coil I'll have a new and different ohm reading... it's varied between 2.1 and just now 2.8 (as well as in between both of those numbers)...

Any thoughts on what may be up? All I can reckon is something I saw in a Kayfun V5 review where they talked about the 510 pin being either too far out or too far in.

Hi SC - I don't know the Kayfun but if the connecting pin has a screw head unscrew it a half turn to bring it out a little. As far as the fluctuation in the resistance is concerned this is probably caused by a loose post screw - try tightening these screws. After that you are good to go - I think. Have a good vaping day.

It has a screw, I'll try that... and I'll try your other suggestion as well.

Thank you!

Just as a matter of interest SC - check the coil you built and tell me how many wraps you made - count any half or three-quarter wraps at the ends of the coil. Just interested in the 2.1 ohm resistance - and being nosey.

Will do... also in the meantime, I turned out the 510 screw a half turn and not only would the mod not read anything at that point the V5 was quite loose after snugging it down (it basically rattled in the mod, fully snugged) so I then tightened the screw back in and gave it a little more snug past factory tight and the mod has been reading it ever since. All of which raises the question, why would I need to tighten it versus loosen the tank's screw to get a better connection, thought these were pressure/spring sensitive (so wouldn't one assume further out makes a better connection than further in)?

Not in China's machine shops

They ate the Apple slogan and Think Different.

Like their bean counters told them to.

Which is zactly what happens everywhere people actually make things...

Another thing that might be worth checking is the 510 connection on your mod. The pin on most is spring loaded and may occasionally stick especially if you have had a leak or two
