How's it going everyone, I've been searching everywhere but have found nothing about this specific problem I'm having. (Tl;dr version down below) About a week ago I went and got my first upgrade from an ego twist battery and got myself an itaste MVP 2.0 and I'm loving it! But I recently noticed an issue or something weird with it, I've had an aspire nautilus for about a month and the same day I got my mvp I also got a bvc head for my nautilus, it says it's a 1.8 ohm head and when I screwed it onto the MVP it was reading at about 1.9 no issue there since I know what it states on the head isn't very accurate but the reading was close. Well after about a week of using my aspire with the new bvc head on my MVP I keep checking the ohms and they keep dropping it went down to a 1.7 reading then 1.6 now a 1.5 and I wanted to know if anyone was having this problem or if it was somthing normal and the reading is still accurate I would really appreciate someone's response to this! I know it's normal for ohms to get higher as they get build up but ohms dropping and only after not even a full week? It's gettig to me since I just really starting getting into vaping and I'm still pretty new. Thank you in advance!
Tl;dr my ohm readings on my itaste MVP 2.0 keep dropping currently using an aspire nautilus with a bvc head that's about a week old first reading was at 1.9 then 1.7 down to 1.6 now 1.5 and was wondering if that's normal. Thank you again.

Vapin,

No worries, slight oh drift will happen and as coil heats up the resistance will drop by a la couple points, metal heats up, electrons start moving at an accelerated rate, resistance drops. Physics.

Also as coil gets older, and gunked up, the resistance will climb by several points, often getting outside ones vape range, or something like that.

Also, since mods ohm meter shows less accuracy than others, a 1.8 ohm coil could be low as 1.76-1.85, and still read 1.8, but when in watts mode, the mod will fluctuate the voltage so the watts set is the watts vaped, regardless of ohm drift.

Main thing to be concerned of is large ohm shift fluctuations, of an ohm or more, this is usually an indication of a loose coil wire lead, coil touching, or short in the wire.

Your coil should not be dropping so far like that in resistance. It is possible you have some juice in the bottom where the coil screws in.

10% variance on a factory coil, is not too bad. So if marked 1.8... that means from 1.98ohm (your mvp will round that up to 2ohm) to 1.62ohm (your mvp will round that to 1.6ohm)
