Is this possible? I've got an ego t atomizer cone style reading between 3.7 and 5.0 on one ProVari, 4.7 ohms on another ProVari and 7.8!!!! on an iTaste VVVW.
It's working at high voltages without burning. All devices read what seem to be reasonable ohms on other attys including some other ego t attys; so 2.3 for the SRs.
Baffled. Not complaining...It's kind of fun...I never had an ego t work better, but....

Hmm, either the atty is on its way out, or all of those devices are inaccurate. If some of those readings are accurate you wouldn't even be pulling one amp from your battery, so not too sure how good the vape could be. Oh well, enjoy whatever is going on while it lasts I guess.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but are your sure you're checking ohms, and not volts or watts?

Looks like my reply to your reply never posted. Sometimes this site...hm...
Any rate....I appreciate your reply and your question is good and well taken.
Pretty sure I'm checking ohms properly. What could cause an atty to be so off? I'm gonna take it to my B&M soon to see what a meter would read or to read it on one of their devices just for kicks.

The coil could not be making good contact at connection points. Smack it a few times, and get another reading. If it bounces, that is a good indication it isn't tight enough on the contacts. I'm not familiar with the ego atomizer. Every time I see ego-T, I think of the starter kit with drip atomizers I got almost a year ago..

Yep that must be it. I can give it a good smack and the reading changes on one device. So is it amazing that it works at all or just normal because there's still some vestigial connection?
As for ego t....well I should say Greensmoke ciggy sticks were my starters. After those I stepped into the ego t. Now I have Kanger MT3 cartos and Boge everywhichways and Cirrus pyrex tanks and SD sidewinders and RSST RBAs and and and and ProVari and a Magneto and and and I'm in love with all their stainless steel, brushed metal and kanthal wire parts because, all you lovely vaping goof balls,
IT'S NOT A HABIT. IT'S A HOBBY!!!! SHEESH....
I should make a t shirt.
But I still have attys and ego t units around from the beginner days and I still try to make use of them occasionally since they're there. I've come so close to ditching them...you know Craig's List curb style, but....I dunno. Not to step on any toes. Many people have a great time with ego t. It never satisfied me really and I fast discovered I was some kind of cloud chaser...as much as that kind of woo woo purple candle name doesn't thrill me...seems to be what people say. Along with vape which is just a horrible word from a marketing standpoint for an industry that's begging to wedge itself into the land of cool to mix and match several metaphors....but I cannot for the life of me think of a better word...anybody else? ok well and thoroughly off topic. Thanks for all your help, Gang.
