Firing button getting hot (SMPL mod)

hello guys , ive been vaping for almost a year now, i have a legit smpl mod, my problem is i bought a new RDTA tank named VGOD , the owner of the shop suggested me to use a nichrome wire in it (i dont know what its size but ill ask tomorrow) then when i got home suddenly the after 3 fires my firing button gets hot, i used my multimeter to see what its resistance was then i found out that it was .10ohms . i tried cleaning my mod and atty to find if theres a short but the problem still persists. If you guys would tell me to buy another mod as for this time i really cant do it. Should i make my build a little higher resistance? thank you guys sorry for my bad english

Build is too low. What kind of battery are you using? Is it rated for the build you are currently running?

For a single 18650 .1ohm is too low. .15 is pushing it for a good battery like the vtc5. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong please) .2-.3 is ideal imho

Like said before, the build is too low.

Let me see if I got that right, you built a random build and used it and only later on decided to check it's resistance?
If so this is irresponsible.
You MUST get yourself knowledgeable with ohm's law and only build at resistances that are suitable for the amp rating of your battery.
You MUST check the resistance of every single coil you make, before using it.

I'll stop saying it when people stop doing it...Know what you are doing BEFORE buying a mech mod

You're playing with fire on a build that low on a tube. Invest in a parallel battery box mod if you enjoy that hit.
 
thanks for replying guys , it looks like my vape shop doesnt understand or even know what Ohm's law is , they just do builds and never looks for its resistance. Its a cheap vape shop near at my home even the batteries they sell are all rewrap. Im planning to buy myself a parallel box this weekend.

Do yourself a favor, find a new shop and learn how to build yourself
