New KangerTech 1.8 ohm coil heads all reading 2.5 ohms?

[Moodyfisherman]

I bought 2 5-packs of new coil units that show 1.8 on the box, and etched 1.8 on the coil head. I was getting the same performance as my new boxed 2.5 ohm KangerTech coils so I ohmed out the 1.8 heads and they all read 2.5. All the same 6 wraps on the wick as the 2.5 ohm coils........if it is etched on the body 1.8 do you think they just f'd up the manufacturing and they are all actually 2.5's?

Anyone ever test one right out of the box?

I get slight variations in ohms, but not as drastic as 1.8 -> 2.5. I think the highest I've seen one of my 1.8 coils go up to is 2.1.
I bet it's a fault with the manufacturing maybe you can get a refund from your vendor.

I bought a 5 pack with my Mini. they all read 1.9 sounds like a bad run.

Thanks for your responses.....I rebuild all mine now and they do vary but just thought that they would be closer to the # on the box...Damn Friday manufacturing parts...

Over the past three months I've purchased about 5 blister packs of 1.8 and 2.4 oHm coils for the Evods.
Within ONE day of use the 1.8 jump up to 2.2 -2.4 oHms and the 2.4 go as high as 3.5 oHm.

The QC issues regarding delivery systems are ever present.

Just last week I managed to get a new 5 pack that so far are stable after 3-4 days of vaping.
