Not usually. Sometimes they will go up as they get older. I've had it happen a lot recently. That's the main reason I love my provari, I can see what is going on when this happens.
I have no idea what the internals are like. I only know what they meter out at on the provari. The one I am using right now is supposed to be 1.7 ohms. I metered it when I first started using it and it said 2.0, now, a day later it is up to 2.4. This isn't usual, they usually stay around 1.7-1.8. But the last 3 I've used have done this. I don't blame the vendor though, he doesn't make them, he just gets them in bulk like every other vendor does and sells them. I don't really mind them changing resistance, I just up my voltage.
This starts to become a problem for someone using a 3.7 device and doesn't have a multimeter. I was using the first carto (that did this) on a vv box mod and noticed that the vape was getting weak.
I couldn't wait to get home and see what was really going on. It metered at 2.4! no wonder the vape was weak to me since I was thinking it was 1.7. So someone who may be newer at this and doesn't know what's going on would be freaking out wondering if it was the carto or the device. I do have a multimeter but it only tells me a round-about reading, I never really knew an accurate reading.
so instead of tossing this carto, I can still use it and get a good vape.

Hmm I start to see the point of VV then, I will need to confirm but I think I am seeing this increasing resistance as well in some Boge cartos I have just been using, and I did notice some vapor reduction. Still need to do some other testing, there may be other issues involved. A little disconcerting if this is not normal, though ...

Remember when you meter that Carto on your Provari donnah it is metering it under load !
I don't think so, not the carto itself. The carto I just put on it is metering right, they shouldn't read one thing one day and another thing the next day. That's an interesting question for provape though.
edit: I wondered about this so I emailed provape and asked this. did the provari give the reading of the atomizer itself or the atomizer (or carto) underload. Here is their reply...
"The ProVari will give you an accurate reading of the atomizer ohms.
"
