eGo-T Type B SR Atty going up to over 4 Ohms?

[Cyblood]

Hi all,

as of late I'm having a baffling problem with all my eGo-T Type B SR Atties, both old and new. When new they measure around 2.3 - 2.4 Ohms, but after some use, that is, even after three days or so, will measure above 4 Ohms. Same for the old ones which I hadn't used for a while. I found they are measuring at high resistance too.

I am using the juices I used to use before this problem started to occur. All other atties measure correctly, so I know for a fact that my volt meter is working fine. (I have a Type A which will measure later this week).

I am still using the same batteries (Riva SE) and the same cleaning method (dry burn with the spike plate out).

My Riva SE batteries are OK because the tank atty with the large tank I have from Smoktech works as a Joye Type B should on a Riva SE battery. Also, measuring output voltage on these reveals no issue with the batteries.

Has anyone encountered this issue? And if yes, have you been able to resolve it? How?


Thanks,
Cy

Not really had any severe problem. However, I had one type B T LR atty which was not putting out much vapor after several months and I finally realized it was measuring 3.5 ohms so I threw it out. So maybe there is a failure mode which results in this particular reading ? Maybe you've just been incredibly unlucky ?

Maybe the way you're cleaning does it ? I never touch the guts of the atomizer or do any dry burns. Just water or alcohol and an ultrasonic cleaner.

I have cleaned my tank atties this way for ages. It's only recently that's happening, and I'm still using the same juices, even though I never heard of juices capable of doing this to an atty.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the failure mode statement.

Today my first eGo-C SR head needed cleaning. I am trying the vodka soak and then the hot ware rinse, and see how that goes..

Maybe it's time to invest in an ultrasonic cleaner too.
