Hi Hunter, Thanks for the quick response. I am aware of resetting the resistance. I'm what you would call an "advanced user" It has happened on 3 of my RDAs I've tried from 3 different companies. That doesn't seem normal. especially since they all fire fine on my VT133 and on the cheaper Xcube2.
The wattage one for the ohms restricted makes sense. I did get a little crazy with that build cause I wanted to test the .007 limit. Whats the max amperage the device will allow before it goes into "ohms restricted"

Just wanted to make sure! We do have some features that even veteran vapors forget about occasionally. It *may* be due to a 510 issue, and you can definitely send it in via warranty to get that checked out. I just can't ensure that without seeing the device in person.
Max amperage is going to be based on the cells used primarily. We do suggest about 20 amp cells in the G2, so that would give you about 40 amps to work with. As I mentioned, the ohms restricted message can also appear if a lead isn't making correct contact with a post, bad connection, or a short causing an improper ohm read. (In addition to amperage limits).
Hope that helps out!

No problem. Trust me I understand many people jump into vaping with advanced stuff and have no clue what they are doing lol. I'll wait and see how my 2nd one performs compared to the current one I'm using before I think about sending it in. If it's the same then it might just be a quirk of the mod itself. I'm assuming you don't sell Upgrades to components? You probably don't allow them to be self serviced anyway I'd guess.
As far as batteries go, it really shouldn't matter (as long as you use a good battery) it's normally regulated by the board. I only use LG HG2 (20 amp) , Samsung 30q (20 amp), and LG HB 6 (30 amp) and the HB6 doesn't provide any extra amperage in a box mod. Also since the batteries are series and not parallel, it should only allow 20 amp unless the board has a capacitor and buck/boost capability. The build that wouldn't fire was 39.8 amps (.06 ohms at 95 watts) but realistically as it heats up, the amperage would go down since it's SS316L wire and resistance increases as it gets hotter causing amps to decrease. Even with LG HB6 batteries it wouldn't fire and those could easily fire past their 30 rated amps. Some clarification would be appreciated. Thanks
Again I should mention that it wouldn't be the build or RDA since it's 3 different RDAs with 3 Different builds that all fire perfectly on 2 other devices

We do allow self service, to a degree. If the modification directly connects to an issue with the device, then obviously there may be extra charges for warranty work. We will often send out basic components for self repair if it suits the device owner. For more advanced issues, we will generally ask that it be sent in for warranty to ensure there aren't any problems. Though upgrades for specific parts usually aren't available, as all the parts would be the same as your current ones.
As far as amperage regulation on the FSK, one of the things that allows us to go as low as we can (Actually lower than .007 with newest updates) is that the FSK board actually will account for the amperage of the cells as a safety feature. Cells that are damaged, or extremely low on amperage will be detected by the board and the amperage limit adjusted based on it. One of the "brains" of the chip is actually almost entirely devoted to this process. Obviously this is just one of the many safety processes to allow us to do this. There is a baseline amperage limit, but this is not given out, as it would cause confusion or issues for users(As it can change around) the baseline is just a safety backup. I would try firing that coil at around 30-50 watts, to see if it will fire on a lower amp load. Sorry about the misinformation in my last email, the cells would not be in parallel, so you are correct there. I must have been a little out of it when writing that specific part, sorry!
It may just be due to an incompatibility with those specific RDA styles, as before mentioned some go further outside of the industry standard than the G2 would be able to accept. If they do work on the new G2, then I'd send it in for warranty and we can check out the 510. We've tried to improve this on the Slice, allowing for more variations for 510 specs.

Thanks for the update. My new one actually arrives tomorrow. I'll give it a try and let you know. As far as the other build I already changed it and don't feel like rebuilding it lol. I wasn't really intending on using it, I just wanted to give it a try to test the firing limit. I usually build between .1 and .2 ohms
