The electrical resistance of most metals rises as temperature increases.
Some metals (like nickel, platinum, and ss316 ) have "an accurate resistance/temperature relationship which [can be] used to provide an indication of temperature." You can see how this might be useful info if you are trying to put temp control in a mod. NiChrome's resistance does change with temp but not enough to measure accurately for temp control.
I assume that other factors having to do with temp-related expansion of the coil (fine defects, bad connection) or quality of the mod's electronics could be in play.

Thanks fratervapor. My mod is fine with other tanks, it's the wismec theorem that may be wacky I think. I read that when they make heaters with nichrome, that they calculate the rise in resistance with heat. And that it can be a significant rise that has to be targeted in advance, to achieve the right output for the device. I still don't know what the hell too think lol. All I can say is the theorem is a pain in the but! Thanks.
