Need help with ni200 build

[Nikitos]

So i tried my first built ... 26ga ni200 twisted wire with 8 wraps.
It all adss up to .03 ohm
The moment i put it on my mod.(vaporesso revanger X) it starts ticking.
And gives me low atomizor warning.
If am not not wrong thats too low reaistance ....
Any ideas on what ive done wrong .
Ps. I twiated the wiers myself

.03? I wouldn't dare put that on a Mech.. you don't have a vape calc

According to vape calc even 20 wraps only gives you a .07 that's just crazy

I personally would use on another wire

Yes, resistance is Way too low, Bad Wire choice


Ni200 is pure nickel wire - also considered "non-resistance" wire because of its very Low resistance

It is for use Only in Temperature Control Mode, because it can melt otherwise

You should get N80 - nichrome wire, or 316L Stainless Steel, or kanthal/FeCrAl wire instead.

The main idea is to use TC. I was using TC with SS. And decided to try NI200 as i was told it makes better flavour ....
But it doesnt seem to work

Your resistance is too low, you can try:

Single coil, single strand of the 26g Ni200

A higher gauge of Ni200 for dual coils

Agree that's too low of a gauge for ni-200. The lowest gauge I have and would ever go would be 28 gauge. I also started wanting to use it for fused claptons, but I will have to fuse it with another 28 gauge strand of kanthal instead. Even the 28 gauge is too low for doubling them up like that.

You can use the 26ga.
You are just going to need to make a ton of wraps.
I'd try to make as many wraps as will fit.

If you can fit 16 then make it 16.
If you can only fit 12 make it 12.

That's really the only way you are going to find out if the wire will come out high enough to not have the low resistance error.

 

[5150sick]

You don't need to get it much higher.
You are right on the edge because it says it will fire down to 0.05 (in TC mode)



So if you can get 11 or 12 wraps in there you will be set.
