G-Priv/Big Baby Beast RBA/Alien Wire Nightmare

barely a week later and just got same error. Over this setup going to look for a Genesis RDTA at the vape fest.

Rewicked on Friday, and all been fine till this afternoon when I got low ohm error. then the mod would not read the correct ohms again. Been 0.35 all week with the coils that came with the RBA, Not done anything since Friday rewicking besides top up tank.

Oh well just thought I'd inform you all with my experience with this RBA.

That is very frustrating. Have a look at the iJoy Limitless XL. It's an awesome tank to build with. Love mine to bits.

I think I want a genesis style next, Bit tired of this taking apart aspect of the RDTA's like the baby beast and Limitless XL (And yes I've heard only great feedback and recommendations on this) Got my heart on the CoilArt Azeroth at the moment.

Good choice. That's an awesome one. I've got the iJoy RDTA Plus that I used when I started building and it is a big plus to not lose all your juice every-time you want to make a change.

Damn it's such a shame. But honestly i don't think it's the tank itself. There's been numerous issues with the G-priv that I've heard about. I've also tested this tank on 2 different mods without any issues. The only bad thing that happened to me was frying the insulator by modifying 3mm coils into 2.5mm coils. It still vaped though haha. It might also be the wire but that's also strange as you can tune it to tickle your fancy. It's an oddity you experiencing. Maybe try your exact build or tank thats giving an issue on another mod and see. Let me know what you find.

unable to test on another mod at the moment. however using pre-made atomizers worked no issues at all, hence my thinking it's the RBA. Also this is the default coil that came in the RBA, not like I built anything wrong this time like I might have done before. Did search for g-priv issues and not found much on the device. Love to hear what type of issues you speak about.

We aren't talking about the premade. You think it's the rba base? You should do some more testing. Like putting on another mod. Once you do that you'll have more conclusive evidence

Keep forgetting I have a Omnitester that matches the same erratic ohm readings I get on the G-priv. :( Tomorrow will try test on my buds mod.

Damn that does sound crappy now. At this point we aren't sure if its the RBA base or the wire.

so, decided to pull my ohm reader out and get the following:

2.4 for the baby beast.
0.2 on my transformer which I built yesterday afternoon. Something I forgot about. This build has 5 wraps too.

Clearly it's to do with the baby beast and not my build.

Going to replace the o ring on the rba and see now.
I feel your frustration.My guess is it is touching something in the deck.Aliens can be a bit larger but don't give up on them,they are about my favorite coil for flavor.I'm not familiar with the baby beast deck room wise.If you are interested in a tank that in my opinion is the commercial tank of the year the OBS Engine has it all.Top flavor,large juice capacity and an ample deck.Good luck!
 
yeah did.. Not really much they could do, just implied that chinese made stuff never really lasts.
Lol sometimes. But I've had my tank with the RBA since release without any issues. Even the new owner of my first one also has no issues. Im waiting on my second big baby to arrive lol. The refill mechanism is just so great lol. Is a shame you going through this mate. I wish i could help you some more but seems like our hands are tied now

It's all good man.
I love the refill on this tank too. Can't imagine going back to the old style ever again.
 
AFAIK the post holes on the RBA are only 2mm big, alien coils are pretty thick and square, to me it sounds like you are probably tightening really hard in order to trap the leads and the screws are probably pinching/breaking the leads and causing the shorts, or they eventually work free and cause your shorts. The wire you are using is not really optimal for this, I'd suggest getting a decent RDA if you want to use more exotic coils.

Get what you saying: However.. I'm currently running with the default pre installed coils, Look like claptons. So it's not the case with what you saying. If I had put alien wires into the new RBA I would understand that as an anomaly. The alien coils I have are actually not that much thicker if not the same if I look at them. but regardless of this it's not the wire in this new RBA with the same problem.
 
Hmmm sorry I didn't read properly where you said you using the premade coils. You still may have sliced the wire with over tightening, if we eliminate the old RBA and the type of wire, then I'd try install new coils and check how tight you are screwing them in, failing that you may just have rotten luck and got two duds in a row.
