Accelerating Kanger Dual Coil Resistance Problem

[Vtdroneflyer]

Hi All,

I'm a new member! I'm having a problem with all of my Kanger Dual Coil cartomizers.

1st my setup:
Vameo V5
Kanger Evod2 tank
2x Efest 3.7v 800mAh batteries
Authenticated Kanger 1.8 resistance Dual Coil Cartomizers

The Problem: carts start up fine digital readout on the V5 shows resistance at 1.8. Over a day the resistance starts showing 2.0, then it keeps going up, 2.2 then 2.4 then it jumps to 4.0 then 4.4 then POOF! Cartomizer dead.

Back around X-mas, I could get like a week or longer out of a cartomizer, now I'm lucky to get a day.

What I have done do troubleshoot:

(1) tried different liquids from different makers... no difference.

(2) tried different batteries (albeit from same maker) no difference.

(3) verified the carts are authentic and not knockoffs

(4) can't see any defects on the Vameo V5 etc. that would be causing this, but who knows... the battery housing isn't excessively warm to touch, no fluttering or popping from the V5 etc. Is the most likely culprit my V5?

Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch for this forum... I didn't know about it until now.

I have noticed something similar in the Kanger dual coil atomizers (on a Genitank)... I didn't see the creep, but I did see a 1.8 ohm head go to 3.7 ohms. That's easy to explain. one of the coil heads became disconnected. These are two coils wired in parallel, so if one goes, the resistance doubles. Look up "parallel resistance."

In the case of the creep, you may have been witnessing the coil head breaking free. as the connection to the circuit decreases, you'll see the overall resistance go up unitl you are left with just the one coil. If you didn't change your load settings, you probably just popped that last coil eventually. these are thin wires.

Hi thanks for the response.

I have to increase the voltage as the resistance keeps going up or it doesn't hit--no vapor. Still not sure why a couple of months ago I could easily get at least a week out of one then all of a sudden the past month or so, I'm lucky to get a single day. Either Kanger is making crappy new Carts or something on my side is making them bad quickly.. sniffle sniffle.

Hi, just trying to get my 5 posts up so I can go ask my problem in the appropriate forum. Things get buried pretty quickly in the new member forum. Thanks. Aaron
