Help! Resistance jumping on nickel coils!

[killuh208]

Hey guys. I have a smok xpro m80 plus temperature control mod and a triton tank with the apsire nickel coils and my resistance on them keeps jumping. When I first put them in and they sit in a cool room the coil reads .18 ohms. Then it jumps to .24 but say I vape it at .24 ohms and then put my device down for like 30 minutes. When I go to vape again it jumps to .8ohms and and I will a burnt taste. I don't know what to do. You can't set the resistance on my mod either. What can I do? To make it reset I have to unscrew my tank and run it with no tank so it says no atomizer. Then I screw it back in..I don't want to have to so that every 20 minutes of vaping

You have a lose contact somewhere.
Most times that's one of the screws that hold the coil.
If you're using ready made coils, you'll have to search.

There are lots of complaints about the TC mode on that mod. Some kind of glitch in the chip or firmware. Most of the folks that I have seen have said they will only use it in power mode and gave up on TC with it.

I believe the firmware is upgradeable. This may, or may not, sort your problem.

First off, the M80 does not do temperature control well at all. I really wouldn't consider it a temperature control mod.

Second, resistance changes in nickel coils is entirely normal. That's how the temperature control actually works. As the coil heats up the resistance changes, and the mod can tell what the temperature is by the amount of resistance change. Temperature control mods don't actually measure the temperature, they measure the amount of resistance change.
