First off, I realize what I did with the build I'm about to describe was probably unsafe, and I won't try it again until I get a battery that can handle more watts, so please spare me the full thread of lectures.
I have a Mini Protank 3. I successfully rebuilt the dual coils several times. I finally found the igniter for my propane torch, so I decided to build my first micro coils last night. I found a YouTube video for rebuilding the PT3 and copied the build because the guy mentioned he did this tutorial for low end ego battery users in mind. He used 4.8 volts despite having a fancy mod battery in order to demonstrate his build would work for people like me.
I have an ijoy variable voltage ego by the way...
This guy's build was two micro coils of six wraps with 30 gauge wire.
I went ahead and built that exact thing, but every time I tested it, my battery would just flash indicating a short. I know it was not a shorted head because I tested it with my multimeter and it was fine. I also rebuilt it three times and it still wouldn't fire unless I removed one of the coils.
So my question is, do ego batteries like mine automatically refuse to fire when the resistance is too low?
Once again, I understand very well how unsafe it is to rebuild at low ohms while using a cheap pen battery, so please save your stern comments for somebody who doesn't realize what they're doing is dumb. Thanks
