This is my first post here, be gentle. If I need to post elsewhere please let me know.
So, I got some Geekvape Fused Claptons. They look amazing. Went to put a set on the velocity deck for the Pharaoh. This is what they were reading. Ohmeter said .02 and it wouldn't even register on my alien (obviously) and stated ohms too low.
I have no idea why. I tried taking one out, and it read .14. These are rated .3 each, so I was assuming. 15ish for the dual setup. The screws were nice and snug, loosening/tightening them didn't help. The leads were clipped normally and the coils weren't touching any part of the base. I did not add or remove wraps, this is straight from the little box.
The third pic shows just one standard clapton reading just over 1 ohm. Threw the other in and sure enough, .511 and is working just fine. The issue is not with the deck or the base. I even threw the fused claptons on another deck for the pharoah, same result.
I am clueless. This is the first time I've dealt with any wire other than kanthal and I am totally puzzled. Any ideas?
