Go to Walmart, RadioShack, or some other electronic store & drop $10 bucks or so for a multimeter. Take your coil out of your RDA. Watch several youtube videos on coil building. Study coil building threads here on ECF. Then, once you have a better understanding of coil building & Ohm's Law, aim only for coils around 1.5 ohm or higher until you hone your skills at coil building.

I am glad you were not using a mechanical device
You really should do a little research on the forum, it wont even take much time to get the info required to vape safely.
OP, I don't want you to walk away with the wrong impression.
Everyone here is simply concerned with your safety. As such, take your time and heed the good advice to enhance your vaping experience.
that may be true... there may be some mass defect in the Sigelei 50W mod......BUT!!! The OP being unable to answer even the most basic questions about his atty or its build, is a far greater problem, for his own safety.
I think what you will find is that when you have a Digital Multi-Meter that Not Only will you be Safer but that you can get More Out of Vaping.
Being able to Measure the Ohms of a Coil/RBA is a Must before you use it. But being able to also Measure the Voltage of a Battery when it comes off a Charger or when it Needs to be Charged will help you also.
You do need a voltmeter for checking various things around the house and your ecig hobby, but everyone needs a 510 threaded ohmmeter, especially if you wind coils. This one does resistance and voltage. One socket is 510 male and the other female. To check your mod voltage, you just screw it on the mod like an atomizer and press the fire button to check accuracy. The female thread is for checking your coil resistance. Just screw on your atomizer and read the resistance. You can use it as a hands free base to hold your coil deck when you wind a coil.
4 out of 5 reviewers found it accurate. One didn't and the supplier swapped it out. Now, he's happy, too.
$9.95 from Amazon

A good cheap voltmeter that's widely used around ECF. It's $5.44 with free shipping. Harbor Freight also sells this and sometimes it's on sale for $3.99. I have about 5 of them around the house in convenient places for quick checks. They all still work after years of use.

BTW, your Segelei 50W box mod has built-in protection against shorted atomizers, so you aren't in danger of a shorted atomizer. That's assuming it's this one.
