Hi guys
Hoping someone with experience in BB's can kindly assist me here.
So received a SXK BB yesterday (second hand) and eagerly popped in a 26g SS coil ohming to about 0.54
On first fire I had a huge dry hit, couldn't understand until I popped the panel open and saw the ohms were now at 1.24
Hit the fire button again and the ohms came back down to 0.54. Since then its been fluctuating hectic...up and down. I was told that SS does do that and its common to see jumps between 0.10 and 0.15ohms and that I should try claptons. Visited Vapers Corner who also couldn't advise me on the issue after them doing a whole new coil and wick.
Then tried Clapton wire....seemed much better for the first hour then bang...massive dry hit and also jumped to almost 2.0 ohms. But for the first hour, after each pull the ohms would creep up 0.01 ohms and I leave it to stand for a few seconds, tap the fire button and it drops back to original ohms.
Things I have checked/done:
-Cleaned all contact points and the thing that screws down the boro tank with alcohol swobs
-I did notice that one post screw on my Exocet deck always was loose each time I opened up the boro although I tightened it down properly before juicing up.
-so I swopped the Exocet for the insider and even used the newer post screws in the bag and it sits much tighter...although the insider does the same....creeps up 0.01 after each, lay for a few seconds, hit fire and back down. This also with a Clapton
Strange thing is that even with the nautilus adaptor and coil, the ohms jumped hectic so could have ruled out post screws being an issue.
Any help please guys?
Thank you
