You might be tripping the internal board temperature safety. I've done if myself. try a .3 ohm build and test.
 
well i noticed the ohms jumping when i was pulling the cap off i gave it another little bit of twist just to get it a little snugger to the mod the ohms arent jumping now i am vaping at 50 watts and i also notice after 3-4 good hits the shell is definitely getting hot i haven't been able to get the previous to reoccur since tightening it a little more,next build i do i try for a .3 ohms build any advice for getting a .3 ohms build im using 24 gauge about 5-6 wraps,This is my first rda deck and first time building my own coils besides my kanger tech sub tank mini rba

You were shorting it out, the istick needs to be reset when it shorts. Make sure your screws are tight, and the coils aren't touching the deck.

Use the following as a guideline http://www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp. Usually, I'm getting a 0.3 Ohm build with a dual coil 24g 7/6 wraps 3mm ID.

The IStick 50 won't fire correctly below .3 ohms.

Not to mention that running any device at or over it's max settings is just asking for that device to fail sooner than later... sort of like trying to run you car at it's max speed/rpms etc... it's just not wise
