Lemo2 builds

[Edd200sx]

just got a Lemo2 first dabble into building

So I used 28g ni200 and 3mm coilmaster

No matter how many wraps I do I still get 0.07 or 0.08 ohms

How do I build this to a 0.50 ohm

 

[PuffOn]

36 wraps on 3mm would give you .5ohm with Ni200

Did you mean .05?

I usually build my Lemo with 8-9 spaced wraps on 3mm, Ni200
comes out about .12ohm, which works good for a DNA40 mod

0.50 is half of one ohm? This reads 0.07 on my vt60 8/9 wraps not spaced though

Is this with the tank on or off?

Sounds to me like a short-circuit.

 

[Edd200sx]

Tank off or on doesn't change tried 3 diffrent coils

Making spaced coils on coilmaster is hard it just seems to wrap tight every time

Pretty sure vt60 has short protection too

Vapes ok at 450f though

Ahh thanks vu checked coil was touching on the leg along the coil 0.10 with about 9 ish wraps
Getting the idea now only done a few builds

After you wind your coil, and while it's still on the CM: Carefully, gently get a fingernail under each end of the coil and give it a little s-t-r-e-t-c-h. I imagine the newer CMs, with the longer mandrels, are better for this.

So weird I did 14 wraps 28gauge burn in coil carefully 0.15 ohms
After 5 minutes its gone to 0.10 again

Loosing the plot

 

[Edd200sx]

My bad I guess this is normal ish for 14 wraps I'm sure the vt60 ohm read out sucks or something. Or my coil is still needing work
Pretty sure it's short free now though

After you give your new coil a bit of a stretch, make sure to tighten the screws again.

I love my lemo and I have never had an issue with it changing resistance on me until I need to clean the coil.

Yeah checked screws just before I assembled going to use this tank and recheck screws again
Bit of a learning curve making coils

Running ni 4mm post 10 wraps 0.20 at the mo vamping like a champ really love the lemo 2
