Atomizer reading incorrectly?

[bendeng]

I just got some vapemail in.

I ordered two 5 packs of Kanger atomizers for my Protank 2. Both were marked for 1.8ohms but my evic is reading 2.2ohms.

Should I be concerned? Should I contact the supplier and request an exchange? I plan on rebuilding my coils here on out but I needed some spares to get me thru the trial and error period of building my first coils lol.

Thanks for any input

Happy vaping

There is a plus or minus on all purchased atomizers (possibly mislabeled as they do make 2.2 ohm atomizers also and also the children that build them may not pay close attention when they hit hour 15 at work) but if you are concerned that your evic is wrong try to find someone else with a mod that reads ohms or order an ohm reading box like this $10.45 Atomizer Resistance Tester (Ohm Meter) - eGo/510/808 connector at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping will be helpful when you start rebuilding heads. I also have an extra protank base just for checking ohms on rebuilds

Unscrew the protank from your evic and wipe off/check the 510 connection on both the evic and the protank. If juice gets in there is can mess things up. It could also just be a mislabeled/packaged head as Dakota Jim stated. If it's a head that's been used a lot it could also just be dead, coils often change resistances through their life as gunk builds up on them and the wire deteriorates.

I've noticed that all Kanger coils meter out a little higher than listed; my 1.8Ω ones are really ~2.0Ω. I've never had a 2.2Ω though. 0.4Ω variance is a bit too much. Are you sure your eVic readings are accurate?

It's always a good idea to contact a vendor if something doesn't perform as it should--if only to let them know that there is a problem. Ask him if he checked his other 1.8Ω himself? He may be willing to assist you.
