ipv3 doubling resistance...

[dablacksails]

My ipv3 has been sporadically doubling the resistance on all of my atomizers, which in turn also doubles the voltage of the vape. Everytime it is almost exactly double that of the resistance as my ohm readers and multiple devices will show. It will fire as normal and then randomly rise much much higher on another fire. This has been an incredible nuisance to me and my vaping experience. It turns any hit into a dry hit basically, which obviously is not desired. This has been happening with both the original and upgraded firmware. I am positive it is not a short on any of my atomizers, as I have used many different ones on this device with double and single coils, and achieved this very problem. I have adjusted the spring loaded 510 to see if it would make a difference and it has not. Very disappointed in this device, and I am wondering if any of you have been having the same problem or anything similar. I really don't feel like dealing with Asmodus, but it looks like I will have too.... That is unless any of you have any suggestions. Btw I bought this at a b+m so a free replacement you may see from a web store is out of the question (it did have all the normal packaging and shrink wrap, so I dont suspect foul play). I'm thinking this is a problem from the chip, if it's anything else I'd be surprised, but I'm no wizard. Feel free to ask questions, and please leave a comment if you may be able to help.

Hate not having a working mod that tends to my needs =-( About to order a Sigelei to have something to tie over the wait time for Asmodus.

Did you update it yet ??

yes, this has happened with both firmware editions.

This is a known glitch with builds around the 0.15 ohm mark, particularly with coils that have a lot of mass (like twisted coils). The first thing to try is to clean the threads of your 510 connection with some white spirit/isopropyl alcohol. It can also depend on what atomiser you're using. Ultimately, just try to build around the 0.20 ohm mark. I have the same issue with mine. RiP Trippers mentions it in his iPV3 review.



Hope that helps.

Great reply! I actually clean my atomizers and 510 frequently and still have this happen with any resistance. I barely ever go below .5 ohms....
