    OHMS! Just making sure

    I have started making my own coils and today I built for the first time on my drop with dual coils and a single battery mod using a Sony VTC6. After sorting the hot spots and making sure the coils glowed evenly the ohms were reading .17! If I have it right that is perfectly ok but just wanted to...

    Noobie Ohms Question

    So I've been trying different coil builds lately. I was looking at a coil that would come out to about 0.42 ohms. If i were to use this on a regulated device at 50 W the corresponding values would be 4.58V, 10.91 A, 0.423 Ohms, 50W as mentioned. My confusion lies in that I know we shouldn't...

    Ohms jumping around. Best way to clean contacts

    The ohms on my squid mod are jumping around. I tightened all the screws but I think the contacts need to be cleaned. This is on a billow V3 Plus. What's the best way to clean the contacts?

    Needing help with getting my ohms right

    8I am new to building, got my first rda about a month or two ago. When the guy at the vape shop built my coils it read at a perfect .15 ohms, but my first build in my own read at .29 and then building one today it's reading at .317. My personal preference for vaping is closer to the .15... could...

    New Ceramic Coil Ohms changing

    I am new to using ceramic coils I have the GT core Ccell. Its only a few days old, but the ohm keeps bouncing. I dont think this is normal. What is causing the issue and can I fix it? I paid alot of money for it as I was told that one coil could last for almost a month. Any thoughts?

    Varying Resistance

    I hope I'm posting this in the right forum...lol (not needed) I started vaping on my Ijoy RDTA BOX with a .19 ohm resistance and into my 3rd tank I noticed my resistance was reading ,23 ohms. Almost through the 3rd tank, my Ijoy was on its side in my cargo pocket and whatever juice was left the...

    Mod reading different ohms that the atty indicates

    Hi everyone, I own an Eleaf iStick Melo kit, with the stock Melo 4 D22 tank. I have the same kind of atty that was pre-installed when I bought the kit, which is an EC2 0.3 head, single coil Kanthal. Ever since the first day I had it, it reads 0.24ohms, and not 0.3. I've changed the coil...

    Ohms and battery safety questions..

    Okay so I'm sort of lost on this topic. Personally I have a Smok T-Priv 3 with 3 Samsung inr18650 30q. I'm currently using a 0.4 ohm coil and run in between 45-75W. I have a 0.12 ohm coil and want to use it but don't know if it's safe to run at 75W? I tried the ohms calculator but can't seem to...

    high ohms vs low ohms on mechanical mods

    i aam buying a new mechanical mod but don't want to change my batteries every 2 or 3 hours so i am planning to increase the resistance on my tanks , how much will it affect the experience , does opting for higher gauges enhance the ramp up time of the coil so compensates for the higher ohms and...

    using high ohms in mech mods

    how does it affect the vaping experience ? also does using higher gage (28 instead of 24) affect ramp up time and enhances the hit in comparison to using the same ohms with the less gage wire ? does it affect the flavor ? i am asking those questions as i am stepping into mech mods but i dont...

    Ohms law basics

    Hello everyone. I was reading a few posts and I noticed that a lot of people tend to mix up some stuff when figuring out their amps and resistance. I figured I would write this out on my board and post it for posterity.

    Question on Ohms law and battery safety with a big build

    I recently purchased a 40MM Mason dumptank and I have coils rated at about a .3-.4. I'm using Sony VTC5's and I've been reading a lot of information on things but the ohm calculators I have used have just been difficult to understand due to not having vaped in over a year and forgetting most of...

    Mod reading coil .05 ohms lower

    I have three mods. A Geek Vape Aegis, a Hohm Tec Hohm Slice, and a Pico 25. Today I put a new build in my Ammit Dual, did some calculations and it looked like the build was supposed to come out around 0.28. I put the atty on the Pico (which is my daily carry mod) and it read 0.21. I checked my...

    G priv 2 resistance

    I just bought a smok g priv 2 today and I can’t seem to find how to manually change the resistance or if that’s even an option on the vape. Before this I had the smok alien vape and in the menu there was an option to change the ohms so I was hoping that would be an option on here too. Does...

    Rising ohms?

    So I was vaping 316l with my mech and noticed after the first few hits it got weaker as my atty heated up. Using 30g I'm suspecting it's due to the rising ohms. Can anyone relate? I like a little more power than the same build with kanthal. It's not a big deal since I can just throw my atty on...
