A few months ago I began rewicking my kayfuns on my provari and somehow managed to fire it and ended up scorching my wick.:oops: So to keep from doing it again I would turn it off. :thumb:
Then without turning it back on I checked the ohms and it showed like a 1.1 ohm, which from just dry burning the coil a few minutes prior and checking the ohms it had showed a 1.7 ohm.
Sure enough, I turned it back on and checked, it was back to showing a 1.7 ohm coil.

Is that actually normal? To have a .6 ohm difference between being powered on or off when you check ohms.

It still works flawlessly, I just wanted to know why and if it's a sign of any problems.

So, please help put my mind at ease. :laugh:

You'll also notice that if you check ohms with the Provari on, it'll usually start low then go high as it heats the coil. Totally normal.

I have noticed it, and also because of that I wasn't to worried about the on/off readings as much because I figured it was all related. Still had the nagging in the back of my head saying (you don't know for sure) so still had to ask.
