Uncivil11 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I don't know where to ask this but I'm thoroughly confused. I rotate 2 Baby Beast RTA decks on my Vapor Flask. I build them on my 521 tab they ohm out and fire fine. I put them on my mod and they show atomizer short. A little while back I posted about thinking one maybe bad and it was suggested to tighten the posts and such. These are 2 post press fit. Now here is where I get confused. I can put them on my K Box mini and with unthreading around 1/4 turn they both will fire. I have to watch the ohms though and they both will show some goofy readings but once I see them at .4 I know they will fire. My Kbox seems more sensitive to showing the reading and the flask so I can adjust 1/8 turn and it will read. But if I pull it off and put it on my tab it reads fine. Any thoughts?

Bebop Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Check the center pin on you vapor flask. The 510 pin on tanks can vary slightly so it may just be barely touching or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Instead of using your mod to read the coil resistance, get yourself a dedicated ohm meter. Even though mods have gotten better, I still don't trust them to give me the most accurate reading -- as you can tell with the fluctuations you're seeing. Better safe than being the next story about something blowing up in the news. Walt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I don't trust my tab much. I've seen it get loopy from time to time. It also started getting hot after I dry burnt a couple of coils on it. I still use it for a stable build platform and will peak at the resistance reading, but I don't trust it. I trust my mods a lot more and they all ready pretty close to the same resistance with my attys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we have all had different experiences. It makes things interesting for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncivil11 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 That's the thing I'm building in the tab reading ohms putting it on the mod and get atomizer short pulling it off reading in tab test firing putting mad on mod getting atomizer short. Screwing unscrewing screwing unscrewing from 2 different mode 2 different RTAs it's like what the heckSent from my iPad using The Vapor Talk mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncivil11 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Took the same tank and screwed it into 4 different things. Be curious when my Alien comes in tomorrow what it's going to say Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an ancient one from my days in the field and of course it won't read anywhere near the accuracy necessary for a coil. Those were the days when 100Ω was the white part of chicken **** and wasn't worth considering. @Uncivil11 I wouldn't sweat a couple hundredths of an ohm. You start varying more than 5 hundredths, it's worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Mine's a little over 20 years old so it's not as accurate as I'd like. Need to look into replacing it but it still works for other things... Walt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncivil11 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Well I think I found a solution. After some googling it seems people were having a similar problem with the big baby deck so I got to looking really careful and noticed the same. The bar at the bottom of the deck had some very faint black marks. So I took out my dremel and ground where the black marks are and reassembled. Seems to be functioning without any problems now.

Uncivil11 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Well crud. Starting showing atomizer short again. Getting tired of these tanks. I like the economy and being able to rewick and wrap coils as needed. Any suggestions on a new rebuildable tank. Dripping on the mutation V4 isn't always convenient.

Walt Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Griffin 25+ has a nice RBA only deck. So does the Herakles RTA-2. This may be a long shot for you, but I'm enjoying the Pharaoh RDA. It has a 1~2 ml juice well and lasts me quite a while. It has a monster build deck that you can use anything from simple wire to crazy exotic builds in. The thing is solid as a rock and you can't really hose the wicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The Russian 91% is a good RBA, although these days mentioning anything Russian might not be a good thing. lol Edna, Walt and Uncivil11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using The Vapor Talk mobile app I really really like my Wotofo Serpent mini's. I've never had an issue with them and it's a dream to build on.. The flavor I get is outstanding too. The 25mm comes with 2 build decks one for single coil and one for dual coil the 22mm is single coil only. They're top fill and probably my favorite rebuildable I have right now. That said, most of my vape gear is packed as we're getting ready for the move out to the new homestead. I've been using my toptanks with drop in 0.15 coils mostly out of convenience so I don't have to mess with building while I'm hanging fence and building pens and sheds.

FXRich Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The Kanger toptank mini, and subtank mini both come with a very easy to use single coil RBA, or a drop in coil can be used when not wanting to mess with the RBA. I have drop in coils for my Toptanks, and Subtank mini tanks, but very rarely use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncivil11 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 I didn't care for the Kanger toptank mini as the flow was too tight for me. I think I'm the definition of insanity to a sense.
