I filled the thank and used for 30 minutes before discovering it was a counterfeit, not sure if keep using it, or cleaning it in case they ask for it...
But using a MVP 2.0 the Ohm reading that I got in a period of 5 minutes was 4, 2.5, 1.8 in a 1.6 coil
Aspire and Kanger both use coils with soldered legs that are non-resistive with a resistive coil in the center. That keeps heat from burning the post insulator grommet that holds the center pin in place at the bottom of the atomizer. What I experienced over and over was the solder joints breaking down and driving the resistance up as I vaped on a coil. I'd have to push the voltage up and up until the flavor just died away.
When I'd pull the pin and the grommet to recoil, most of the time one leg had pulled away leaving the coil disconnected from the leg leading the to pin. You could see the hole in the solder where the wire came loose. It's supposed to be silver solder. Either they are producing cold joints or the solder is subgrade and breaking down under heat. I'd hate to think that it might be Chinese lead solder, but I have no way to test it.
I continue to wonder why they don't use welded wires. It's quick and cheap and requires no solder. It's just a capacitive welding process that uses an arc that drains the capacitor and then it recharges. There are guys on YouTube making their own welded wires using parts from a cheap flash camera sold in drug stores.
