New to vape, OHM too high?

[Kyrsten Armato]

I have the smok Mag kit, and was looking at my coil and it says it is a .12 ohm. However, my mod is reading it at .42 ohm. Should I be worried??

That's pretty far off from what it's supposed to be. I'd check that the coil is seated properly in the atomizer base, and that all connections are clean and clear of debris. Do you have an ohm-reader or another regulated device (a friend's kit, perhaps) you can check it on, to help narrow down where the problem is?

Okay I will do that now. No I don't, I wish I did. I will post the results in a second.

When I attached the atomizer again I selected new and now it reads .13 ohm. I have it at 110 watts and it is spitting a lot of e juice.

Okay got some extra juice out and turned it up to 120 watts and seems to be working good, hopefully I won't have another problem with it.
