The Setup

I built a new coil today, Kanthal Clapton side by side with a triple twisted Kanthal.

There was one thing I didn't take into consideration.... My Mesh RDA has a weird clamp setup. It's made mainly for a flat piece of mesh, but can be used for single or dual coils.

After a bit of vaping I noticed my resistance jumping around a bit. It started at 0.43 ohms and even made it all the way up to 0.85ohms at one point.... The clamps would only tighten up on one of the 2 wires on each side.

My Solution

Moving the wires from the outside area of the clamps, towards the center, allowed for a better contact and clamp.

Make sure you check and double check your builds, don't take any chances.
