So i just finished my first micro coil on my AGA W rba. Started off good at 2.2 ohms. As i was checking for hot spots, it has now gone to 3.8 ohms. What is going on? do i need to start over?

Resistance has returned to 2 ohms? Reduced voltage on Provari to 4.0 and getting a burnt fast. Also first taste of Boba's Bounty.
Not happy.

Checked and retightened connections. now reading 1.6 ohms. Am i allowed to say i am somewhat confused? the coil was firing great at first?
Resistance back up to 3.6 ohms......maybe i am too much of a newbie for micro coils! i know the connections are good....
can you say crawl before you walk? (A concept i need to embrace)

Bro, sorry, I know nothing about the RBA your using - a picture of your build would be extremely helpful. 
Also note that a micro coil is one entire hotspot that shorts on itself initially then settles into a glorious red from the center out rhythm.
Here's a little video that will show you how to build one right. Just substitute a 1/16" drill bit for that jig I use to wrap the coil around

I'm pretty new to this myself, but will offer some insight based on my limited experience.
I know you say your connections are fine, but check them again. Usually jumping resistance is because of a bad connection to the + or - post, especially if you break the wire while tightening the screws.
If that's not the issue, check to make sure your coil is not coming into contact with other metal, i.e. the posts or well.
If that's not it either... Couldn't tell ya; that's the extent of my understanding from building micro coils in my igo w over the last few days.
Hope you work everything out.
