Changes in resistance on an iClear 30?

[Phinz]

Hey everyone,

Has anyone ever experienced the resistance on their clearomizer changing? I am new to vaping, and for around the last 6 weeks I've been using an iTaste MVP 2.0 with an iClear 30 clearomizer. When I first started using it the resistance read that it was around 2.1 ohms. After the first time I cleaned it I noticed it would range from 2.2 to 2.4 ohms. Now after cleaning it again it reads 4.3 ohms. I know I should clean it more than twice in 6 weeks, but is this out of the ordinary? I also realize I'm due to replace the coil head, which I intend on getting around to this week. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Phinz

Sounds like one of the coils just broke. Iclear 30 is dual coil or 2 coils wired parallel, so 4.2 + 4.2 = 2.1 coil.

Your first coil had a good run, time for a new one.

Thanks Sthur, the way it's hitting I wouldn't be surprised if thats the issue. Just ordered a new coil and a couple new flavors.

Thanks again,
Phinz

Like Stuhr said as coils get "Broken in" the resistance will vary some. No worries. When it changes drastically then it's time to replace.

like you may have already noticed here, when you manage to baby a coil for a very long time (2 weeks or more) the resistances will go up gradually over time. i once had a coil that started out at 2.0 and reached 4.0 before i started to notice that something was up. usually cleaning or dry burning the coil will only work at most 2 times for me on 32awg because after that the tired coil will have such high resistance that the vaping properties will change.
