Ok I'm lovin my Darwin and Ive never had a problem like this before. So I don't know if it me or the mod.

I have had a 2.5 ohm Atty drop to a 1.1 ohm Attt in 3 days. Then put on a 1.5 ohm atty today and after 8 hrs it now reads .9 ohm.

I have meter them as well so it is not the Darwin misreading them. I also know that attties drop lower over time but never had it happen this fast and this dramatically.

Anyone else experience this or have advice?

I notice false readings more so, like I put a 4.5ohm Atty on my Darwin and it reads 3.6ohms, yet when I twist it off and meter it then it meters back in at 4.5ohms ! have you metered the Atty when you see the drop to see if it is the Atty or the Darwin? Ohms also tend to go up when they are dying too.
