It really might just be your mod do you have a multimeter or know someone who might? It dose not make since your carts just cant drop in resistance over a a few minutes period.

I cant say for certain because IM not there but it really sounds like your mod if your in SoCal there are a ton of vape shops around you can go to who will give you some assistance

Im at a loss:( It dose not make since to me sorry I cant be more help! I cant think of anything that would make your carts drop resistance to the point thats below the amp limit of your Vamo I guess dont use that juice I hate saying that cause it dont compute! You can soak them in alcohol then blow them out and leave them sit for a day or two then see if the resistance comes back.

If it dose would you PM? me Im interested to see if juice can really do that

Just pure speculation and thinking out loud:

The juice in question also clouds tanks, right? Meaning it probably has a lower PH value than your other juices. How this could affect resistance? Again, pure speculation... Maybe the coils are somehow, intentionally or not, coated with something that is dissolved by this tank clouding juice?

Would be nice to know if the same happens to cartos of another brand.

All I know... I'm puzzled.

Unless the juice is somehow conductive at vaping voltages... or some component of its flavoring.

I'm aware that you're talking carto tanks, but is there a chance you have a clearo lying around? You could check it's resistance dry, then fill it, vape a while, and see if it changes, too. That would pretty much confirm that the problem has something to do with the particular juice... and if that's the case, some email correspondence with the maker might be in order. They may not be aware of any problem.

Well all the cartos work. But i dont wanna vape an extremely low ohms carto because its dangerous

If the resistance is too low for the Vamo to fire, it won't fire. It's not "dangerous."

Okay update. I filled a different brand carto (smoktech) im starting at 1.7ohms lets see if it drops within the next hour

1) What is your power level set at (or voltage if you have it in that mode)?
2) If you have a Vamo V2, is it set in AVG or RMS? This doesn't apply of you are using a V3.

ETA: Sorry, I blanked that you have a Zmax. In any case, what mode and what power to you have it set at? Both 1.5Ω and 1.7Ω are a bit low for a VV/VW mod. If you bump up the resistance a bit you can take fuller advantage of your devices capabilities.

Okay so its only been 30 mins but i can already tell a huge difference. Its gunna be fine with this one because the other cartos ohms dropped almost instantly! Im still at 1.7 and every thing tastes and feels right this time! My conclusion is this... 1 the juice reacted weird with the generic cartos.... Or 2 i got a crappy 2 packs of cartos last month. Ill still be swamping the cartos at my local vape shop regardless and letting them know about my experience. Thank you for everyones input!

Definitely not the juice causing the resistance to drop. It's the cartos, specifically, the coils. Had the same experience on some kanger t3 and t3s. Recoiling them solved the problem. Since you're using cartos, I would suggest returning them.
