Newbie: Smoant Pasito - What makes the ohm .06 or 1ohm?

[WRichieX]

Hey guys, I just got a Pasito and loving it with the rba. There is a leaking problem and waiting to hear back from Smoant about it, but in the meantime, I'm wondering what makes it .06 or 1ohm. Is it the wire gauge? I'm using a 26g kanthal and when testing the ohm it reads out right around .06 ohm every time. Also, what's the different/benefit/con of 1ohm or .06ohm? Also, when building this, I've got my current build and it makes that pop and the flavor is amazing!! Ive never got it to consistently pop like this. Although flavor was good, my current one is way better! Sorry if this is newbie question, but trying to get the most out of this pod system.

The wire's metal alloy/AWG/length play role on resistance.

Also, what's the different/benefit/con of 1ohm or .06ohm?

You mean 0.6 not 0.06 ohm.

Generally speaking:

Lower Ohm Coils Will:

Have thicker wire (more mass) heats slower than thinner wire
Produce More Vapor
Drain The Battery Faster
Use E-juice Faster
Produce A Warmer Tasting Vape

Higher Ohm Coils Will:

Have thinner wire (less mass) heats faster than thicker wire
Produce “Less” Vapor
Provide A “Cooler” Tasting Vape
Use Less E-juice
Prolong Battery Life

This is the exact explanation I was looking for! Thanks Man!!!!

For the leakage issue watch a wicking tutorial for the Pasito:

Yea I rebuilt by watching this exact video. Still getting leakage issues. Cant figure out why. The juice is not leaking from the bottom where the coil goes in or from the drip tip. Only on the sides inside the device and sometimes spews out on the side outside of the pod. Never from the bottom or top. Can't figure out where it's actually leaking from.

design failure ... i have two cartridge both leak

when testing the ̶ ̶o̶h̶m̶ ̶ resistance

Fixed that for you. The ohm is a measurement value of resistance.

When you wick the RBA your cotton should go down the juice channels on each side and pass outside the cover slightly. Don't make the wick too thick so the juice can flow to the coil easily.
If you wick it like the video above you make have leaking issues and end up with juice in the air channel.
