Inconsistent resistance reading on IPV2

[jayrock89]

I've had my ipv2 for about a week and a half now and my resistance meter on it is giving me really inconsistent readings. I built a dual coil on my darkhorse that read at 0.8 ohms on my ohm meter, but when i put it on my ipv it gives me different readings every time i fire it, anywhere from 0.9 (understandable) all the way up to 4.4.

Anybody experience this problem or know how to fix it?

I thought it was a short at first but i checked my coil, did some readjusting and the same thing happened. After that i built a 1 ohm single coil and it did the same.

It still operates, the problem is when the resistance is reading at 4.4, it gives it the volts it would require to reach 25/30/40 watts (whatever i happen to be vaping at), which is obviously way more than it would take to put that power through a 0.8 or 1 ohm coil.

A lot of people are experiencing this issue. I don't know if there is a definitive solution that has addressed it yet. Mine was doing the same and when I checked through the internals I thought it must have been a short as I noticed the negative wire that connects to the bottom spring was frayed. I covered the frayed wire with liquid electrical tape thinking that I fixed it only to find out today that it is still messed up. Found out when I was blasted with a dry hit from hell when my .9 ohm build ran 2.4 ohms and I had her cranked to 45 watts. Really kind of sucks because I liked the device for the 3 weeks that it was working.

I don't have ANY issues with my sx330 v2 chip.

My problem has only been that stupid 510 screw. You need to get the edges out of the head of the screw.

I haven't done anything about mine, but after having my IPV2 shut off a couple of times because of over temperature protection, I always leave a gap between the mod and atty. This has helped alleviate the issue.

But it sounds like you're having the same issue as I and several others I know are having.

I can actually wiggle an atomizer around while it is on my IPV2, and I can cause the screw to tighten up...it's crap. I hope the spring loaded pin in the new models doesn't suck as bad...I'm sure it'll work fine for a few weeks while I'm using it..


but yeah...to end the babble..kinda delusional from being hot...lol

The 510 screw on the IPV2 moves around easily. Swapping atomizers, you'll more than likely have to make sure you didn't tighten the screw down, and your atty is sitting properly..cuz I've seen one/two arcs fly out of my origen airhole, severing 26awg positive leg.
