Welcome to ECF
It's definitely not a problem a difference of only 0.02 ohms. You're never going to get a 100% accurate reading on a 521Tab anyway, they're pretty good though.
Have you used a Mech mod before?
This is one type of mod that you need to know A lot about before you do use one.
So if you're not well up to date with you're mech mods please don't use one just yet and get all the advice here on them that you can

2 hundredths of an ohm is a tiny difference, so that's not a serious issue. That combination of battery and coil setup is a more serious issue, since you're exceeding the battery's CDR whether you're at 0.13 or 0.15 ohms. Before you continue using a mech, I strongly recommend reading up on:
- Ohm's law
- Battery ratings (Mooch provides excellent resources for this. Try his blog on this forum or his Youtube channel for more information.)
- Safety margins
I am worried about you Chris.
Be carefull.
I say this because the battery u plan to use is not even that good for that low resistance.
Dont rush and study a bit more cause its not worth to have accident for no reason

Welcome to the ECF chris34344.
Those Build Numbers are just Too Low to be using with a Single Battery Mech Mod. You Need to Build to a Hight Ohm.
How Many Amps is your Battery going to have to Provide when you put that Mech in your Mouth?

OK thank you very much to all who replied!
Just read this thread, as others have said, DONT build that low when using a mech mod.
Building a 0.13 ohm coil will draw around 33 Amps from the battery that at best is only rated at 30A. Also you will be vaping at 136W from a fully charged battery.
This doesn't sound very safe.
Either use it on a regulated device where you can lower the wattage or increase the resistance of the build deck to around 0.2 oh which will at least mean you wont draw more current than the battery is capable of providing.

It's from 2015 but this thread seemed like the perfect place to post this.

James Lauria was vaping with a mechanical mod when it exploded in his face, causing third degree burns and putting a dime-sized hole in the roof of his mouth.
The injuries were so serious that he had to be airlifted to the University of Alabama's burn unit, where he spent a week in the ICU. Six weeks after the injury occurred, he’s still unable to eat solid food and is currently on liquid diet. He’s going to be fitted for a prosthetic that will close up the hole in the roof of his mouth, but it still seems like he has a long way to go before he recovers.
FWIW, on a single battery mech I've never gone lower than 0.5Ω. IMO there is no need to. YMMV.
I don't give a rats azz what anyone says 0.15Ω, 0.2Ω on a mech is dumb and seriously asking for trouble.
If looking to blow gargantuan clouds buy yourself the proper regulated mod and be done with it.

Check Out some of the Temps for the VTC4 when the CDR goes above 20A or so.
Sony VTC4 2000mAh 18650 Retest Results...a great 23A 2100mAh battery
And that's for a Genuine VTC4. Not some ReWrapped el Fake-O.

Welcome to the forum, Chris.
I see you are already receiving good advice about being very careful.
