Need help, please!

Hey I just saw on the website the coils for your atomizer use stainless steel material....it's not very common in those type of coils but what stainless steel material does is that it changes resistance a lot while it heats up.....so could it be that u just haven't noticed before and it's normal operation
What are the odds that u havent seen it before and it was always this way?

It's very possible that I just now noticed maybe. I just happened to notice that it had jumped to a .8 yesterday without being fired but I changed the coil and it's been consistently .5 to .6 since then. As long as it's not going to blow up, I'm happy! Haha. Thank you all so much! You've all been a HUGE help!

0.8 is not cool... keep an eye on it. Let us know if this happens again.
Hey... do you use an external battery charger?

VTC6 can be a great battery, depending on your needs (and assuming it's not counterfeit - where do you get your batteries? Some vendors are more reliable than others.)

According to Mooch's chart, the VTC6 has a CDR of 15 amps (or a temperature-limited CDR of 20 amps, but as we have no accurate way of measuring the temperature throughout a cell while vaping, we have to use the non-temp limited CDR).

To find the maximum wattage this cell can be used at, the equation is:

CDR x Number of batteries in the mod x 3

So, if your mod is a single battery mod, that's 15 x 1 x 3 = 45 watts. If it has two batteries, it's 90 watts. Note that if you're spending much time vaping near the limit, you'll probably get better performance out of a cell with a higher CDR.

I ordered them from IMRBatteries.com I think.

Yes I have a 2 bay and a 4 bay charger

Good - that's one of the better ones. Mooch has a list of reliable vendors if you ever need to find another source.

Awesome! Thanks!

Since you're using a regulated device, you won't have to worry about the device blowing up in your face. There are safety features embedded into the chip that will protect the user of the device. Only thing that may cause a potential issue would be the battery itself. What battery are you using in it? This may help others identify if that is indeed the problem. Although, this has nothing to do with the fluctuating resistance you're experiencing at this time.

As for ohms fluctuating on the atomizer coil head. This is an indicator that there is some type of short as the resistance should remain stable under normal circumstances. Safe practice would be to switch to a new coil head and throw the problematic coil head away.

...Unless the atomizer doesn't read hundredth. It could be at .59 ohms, and occasionally will read .60 ohms... which is regular and acceptable. I would take note of the conditions when you take the readings..

Does the resistance change after the atomizer warms up?
Is the 510 clean?
Is the atomizer tightened down fairly tight?
is the center pin on the 510 springy? try pulling it up some.

I have another question, if ya'll don't mind. I've got 2 of the same mods. I've noticed when I use one of them, my battery has an odd, chemical smell, but doesn't with the other mod. Is there something that's making that happen that I can fix or should I toss it? It's not with just one battery. It's with any that is used on it.
