I have a mutation x v4 with dual coil 24g kanthal a 1 10 wraps each and it say low resistance I tried single coil same thing it's on a sigelei 150 watt please help.
Low resistance no matter what

Whats the ID of the coils? What does your ohm reader say when you check your build?
Inner diameter. What are you using to wrap your coils around? I use a 1/16 drill bit inner diameter of my coils is around 1.58mm. 10 wraps gives me about 1.4 ohms each coil and around .7 for a dual coil build.
If your ohm reader says 0 ohms then its no wonder it won't fire.
How are you wrapping your coils?

How are you wrapping your coils?
ID = Inner Diameter, i.e. the width of the post/screwdriver/drillbit/etc. around which you wrap the coil. If the ohm-meter is reading zero, then it probably means you have a short somewhere.
Its probably a short. Are you using a standard micro coil technique? Are the coils touching anything that might ground them out?
A single coil with 10 wraps on a 3mm pin would give you about 0.9 ohms. The Sigelei 150 will run down to about 0.1 ohms. You have a short in the atty or a defective Sigelei. Has the Sigelei run any other attys successfully?
Do you have a ohms reader and if so, what does that think the atty resistance is?
They both worked before I have tank in my mod now it's work in but the rda isn't tried on 3 different mods
Clay, I suspect you might be posting from a phone that doesn't make it easy for you to put in punctuation. The problem is I can't understand what you're trying to say.
If there is any way you can make what you said a bit clearer it would really help me out here
Sorry haha yeah my phone auto corrects so what I was trying to say is my mod works fine but my rda is not working at all anyway to fix the short?
Mute x v4 have pretty wonky post screws..beveled screw ends and huge post holes lead to loose connections.....I've noticed the coil lgs will sometimes wedge between post and screw and cause ohms to jump around....
You have to figure out where the short is. Center pin insulator bad? remove your coils and see what the Sigeli thinks about it.
make sure coils are not making contact with anything else, make sure that screws are tightened down and have solid connection... make sure stray piece of kanthal that you clipped off of leg is not sitting in drip well 'crossing the streams'...
Make sure your coils are not touching either of the posts. Also when I first started building I dropped a tiny piece of kanthal down into the deck after I clipped my leads. It shorted from the deck to the positive post. And worst comes to worse pull the build out and start again I know it's a pain but I think everyone has scrapped a build at some point in their vamping journey.
You got some great replies about where the short might be coming from Clay. Check them out and see what you can figure out.
I have a Mutation X ver 1 and I can attest to the wonky screws on mine, but they are manageble. My screws also had pretty sharp edges on the bottoms that I filed down so I could put more force on them when tightening them without cutting the wire. But none of this should give you a short.
Obviously, make sure no wire ends that stick out are touching a surface they should not touch. If you take and post a clear picture of your build that would help us troubleshoot this with you.
Make sure your coils don't touch the cap when you put it on or that will give you a short. A good way to eliminate this from the picture is to fire the mod without the cap on and if that's good but the Sig shows a short with the cap on you know that caused it.
It's also possible the MX has a short in the center, positive insulator. If this is the case if you try to fire it with no coils in it it will show a short.
Sometimes the coils might be the cause to the problem, I have never had this issue before.
