Sounds like a poor connection. Have you tried to tighten the leads?
yea I made sure the leads were tightened.

I will take it back to the vape shop tomorrow, now the ohms are reading 1.38 which is above the resistance range of the EvicVT in power mode..So not gonna fool around with it tonight, I do not get my supplies from fasttech for couple days so hopefully the guy can explain to me what is going on.

Since the resistance is raising as it heats up the wire they installed is probably supposed to used in one of the temp control modes on that Evic and should not be used in power mode. If you can put the Evic in temp control for Nickel around 400 degrees and see if that makes any difference in behavior to what your experiencing. If it doesn't kick you out of TC mode and switch back to power then that's one step in the right direction if it does switch back to power mode try the Titanium temp control mode. It is definitely not healthy to vape any of these wires that's meant for temp control on power mode they can build up a unhealthy oxide that you can breath in.

Do you know exactly what kind of wire is being used for your coils? Can you please post a picture for us, that will really help in identifying what wire is being used for what specific application and can help us identity a short which can be dangerous and possibly cause the battery to vent and cause some damage to the device and can physically harm you. If you can't do any of these please stop using it and go back to the shop, have them take a look, I would have them rebuild with Kanthal, find out what wire was used and ask for as much in depth info about all wires and there applications of use and how to apply those to your Evic.

Be careful and hope you get the proper help from the shop if you feel they might not be knowledgeable and didn't give you enough info visit another shop and ask for there help and for any additional info and tips they can offer, then come back and update us and also search here to find out more about the topics they discuss with you.

@Ryan thanks for the response. It is supposed to be kanthal, unfortunately atm phone is charging so cannot post a picture atm. I'll be taking it down this afternoon and if I am not satisfied with the help I will be going somewhere new.

Update: So went down and the guy said one of the leads were tad too long and was shorting it. Its vaping so much better now! My battery went down a bit so the ohm went down by 0.05. I know I read that over time resistance changes, im guessing it will change as batteries drain? I try to keep my batteries no less than 3/4 way full.

Glad it worked out for you. Your batteries draining will not affect your resistance of the wire or the reading on the MOD. Resistance will change from the screws backing them selves out from contracting when it's heated and cooled constantly and when the wire looses mass over a long period from heating up dry burning or brushing them clean and slight movements of the coil when rewickingor dropping it.
Really don't lose to much time over it but it's good to know, just keep the post screws tight.

Hey Ryan thanks for the info :)

I ordered some velocitys and a ucrown from Fasttech with some supplies, (if it ever comes lol) But I couldnt stand the Ego one mega no more even changing the coils frequently (usually every 2 weeks) I bought a 15$ troll RDA from my local shop.

It doesnt compare really to the mego one- many of the juices that I found personally unvapeable- taste so much better!

Also finding the 6mg nicotine to be too much so i switched to 3 and so far its about just right!
