Help, my ohms are too low...Freemax mesh pro and Aspire skystar mod

[Yodara]

Hello guys, so I am using the Freemax mesh pro tank with the Aspire Skystar mod. Included for this tank was the double mesh coil (really great btw) and the single mesh coil. The single mesh is supposed to be 0.15 ohms but on my skystar it gives me 0.14. I think that is the reason why the taste is just weird. It should give a good taste. I am assuming the ohm reading is too low. What can I do about that? Is there any way I can manually set it to 0.15 ohms? My new coils will take a week to arrive...

Cheers

0.01 difference is okay. That could be like a mm of leg length that is too short, well within manufacturing tolerance for something like this.

I don't think that is the reason for your bad taste, honestly. Coils have minute difference manufacturing wise, so it's not unusual for a small amount of plus or minus. Really, just vape it the way it is, don't try to manually change your coil settings all you will do is confuse your mod.

You may just not like this particular coil/may need a different wattage/some juices play well at different resistances, and/or you may just be more used to the way your juice tasted with the other coil.

Play around, but not with your coil settings. And keep in mind this particular coil may not be for y you, as simple as that.

Factory-made, drop-in coils can have an acceptable varience of resistance of + / - 0.02 ohm, so 0.14 ohm for a 0.15 ohm coil is ok.

Different mods can also have an acceptable difference in "reading" the resistance accurately. If you have a different mod, you might find that that coil measures out to be 0.16 ohm.

I have to ask did you "prime" and "break in" the coil before you vaped it? The below video demonstrates how to do that with a different tank than yours, but the principles are relevant for all tanks and coils.

Thanks, I am quite experienced with drop ins. Maybe the coil is just bad lol

That is really informative, thank you. I was not sure how much is acceptable. I guess I will just wait for the new coils. The funny thing is I know the juice and it shud taste amazing, but does not. I don't even want to vape it right now. I tried different juices already. But maybe I am just too used to freemaxxes amazing double mesh...I will play with the wattage a little. Ill update here

The single mesh coil just does not perform as well as the dual and triple mesh offerings.

I can't even tell the difference in flavor between .6 to .8 ohms on my rtas. Its hard to believe anyone could detect a flavor difference of .01. I agree with others, most likely a bad coil.......

If this is really the taste they literally messed up the coil. I mean this is worse than a non-mesh coil. It could also just be a bad coil...

Taste a difference between .14 ohms and .15 ohms? Really? I want a thorough mathematical and scientific explanation on how this is possible. You must have a very refined sense of taste.

I was under the impression that the OP was comparing the taste to the double mesh coil Was I mistaken? If I am mistaken, then yup...bad coil. 0.01 ohm difference between coils will not be noticeable

You cant taste Ohms...

You cant taste Ohms...

Ever since i quit smoking, i can taste and smell EVERYTHING. Including ohms, watts, the whole nine yards
