Morning (or evening) folks,
So just yesterday - I took the plunge and bought the Steam Crave that I had been eye balling for some time. I know eventually I will update my mod and get away from Smok, but in the mean time ... I am kinda stuck with it. I started building on the TFV8 rebuildable deck that came with it..enjoyed it more than the drop in coils, so was like cool. Lets do this.
I got a set of framed staple alien 2-26/4-.1*.4/36 Ni80 3mm .10ohm / dual coils to drop in the steam crave. Got it home, got super pumped, cut em to size, dropped em in, they looked perfect. The deck looked clean AF! I was feeling really good about my first build, on a legit building deck, on an actual RDTA. Now I dont have an ohm tester, so I just put the deck onto my Smok to try and warm the coils up a bit, scrunch them up and get them ready for cotton. - Thats when my heart sunk.
My Smok read "Ohms too low" or something of the sort. It was reading anywhere from 0.078 to 0.098 and fluctuating anytime I tried to fire it. Basically it wouldn't fire the deck. I tried everything from tightening the deck more, to loosening it. Making sure the set screws were good, the coils were even, etc. Basically everything I could think of. Is it just the shop gave me the wrong coils, or am I doing something wrong?
