I had a coil reading about 4 ohms. I took it apart and the top coil was broken in two. I remember checking the 2 coils to see if they were the same length but don't remember the results. :) If the coils are equal then the only explanation for a reading more than 3 ohms on one coil would be the heat burning the wire thinner because of the extra power applied after the one coil broke or burned in two. The Kanthal could change resistance with just applying the higher heat but I don't think it would change a full ohm. IIRC the coil that I mentioned also read around 4 ohms cool.
That ties in with some arithmetic doodling I've been doing.
IF the istick 30 frequently reads about 0.1 ohm high, and the 2.5 reading I got very suddenly indicates that one of the coils failed, then by the forumla you gave earlier, the remaining working coil was 2.4 (or thereabouts) and the dead coil had been ~3.95 to 4.0 ohms. So much for building to spec.

looks about 5 mm difference.
That means they are basically 2 3ohm coils which makes sense. So if you see a 1.5 dual coil go to 2.5 and then 3.5 or even 4 suddenly, chances are you blew a coil out and the double power that's being applied to the single coil can't handle it and is being burned in two.

Your math is right but I think there are other considerations. I would think that their coil machines can build consistent coils. A variation in the wire could account for a slight difference in resistance. But I remember when I blew a coil out on my GS Air it first read about 2.6. I fired it again and it went up to about 3 and then a third time it went to about 4.1. This was because the wire was burning thinner the more I applied power to it. The power was higher because of the one 3 ohm coil taking on the same voltage that previously 2 were.

I put the images of all the coils together (original, cotton and tc). It might be that the juice slots are smaller on the newer coils and the top cap portion now has knurling. Launch date of the new coils was 2015.06.03. News

I'm excited about the new coils, too!!
That means Cheech will be making us a new movie!
And IMRs will, of course, be doing the music.
This time, Cheech, I'd like to see more drama - maybe a love interest - and a cliff hanger at the end.
Or maybe just see if Ryan Gosling is free .........

fingers crossed those new coils work well - so many like the m tanks it sure would be nice if no further monetary expenditure is needed to try tc heads ;)
except for a new 5pack of coils! :thumb:

morning, y'all!
Morning Tib! Yep! 5 new coils, then some wire...:D

No CLR heads? Bummer. Guess I'll have to try and make my own. JB Weld, snip, snip...

But Lynn, those goose call lanyards can hold many mods all at the same time...
I have done a little Paracord work, maybe I should make some Lanyards... :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is a Blaze Bar I made, all you do is take the carabiner off and pull to get a 15' piece of 550 Paracord.

I also make some Monkey Fist kitteh toys and donate them to the local SPCA chapter to make a few dollars with.
