• Now screw the atomizer onto your ohm reader to check the
ohms. If you don’t have an ohm reader then you can screw it
onto your mod to see what it reads. This step is important as
you need to ensure your build has come out at roughly what
you were expecting, and that your mod will actually fire the
coil. (Picture 5 – Coils fitted & checking ohms)
• If the mod flashes ‘check atomiser’ or something similar then
something has gone wrong. Either the coil has ended up at
too low an ohm reading, and your mod won’t fire it or you may
have clipped the legs when screwing the post screws in, and
it’s not making a proper connection. Unfortunately you will
have to begin again!
• Once you have checked the ohms, turn your mod down to a
low wattage. I recommend between 10 – 15 watts. Now press
the fire button until the coil glows orange. Then let go of the
fire button & quickly compress the coils with the pliers. Make
sure you let go of the fire button before you do this if you are
using pliers!! Otherwise the coil will short. (Picture 6 & 7 –

• If you are using ceramic tweezers for this stage, then you
can compress the coils while the fire button is pressed. You
only need to apply a small amount of pressure when doing
this. You are aiming to make the coil as tightly and evenly
wrapped as you can, with no gaps between the wraps, and no
overlapping sections. You will need to repeat this 2 or 3 times
to get the perfect coil. The perfect coil should start to glow
from the inside to the outer wraps.
• Once you are happy with the coil, and it looks like the picture,
you need to clip the legs so that they do not protrude from
the other side of the post holes. Use the wire cutters or nail
clippers and snip the legs as close to the post holes as you
can get. (picture 8 – coils compressed & legs snipped)
