Not getting proper ohms reading on MVP3 Pro.

[sailorneptune01]

Just got my MVP3 Pro in the mail today, and I'm not getting a proper ohms reading on the two different tanks I've tried on it so far. For example, using a 1.2 coil it shows 1.17-1.19 and using a .5 coil it shows .45-.46... Was just wondering if this is common/normal?

Well, it's happened on another mod I have had. It's reading it more accurately if it's at 1.17 instead of rounding up to 1.2. I've never used the MVP3 though

sounds normal to me. most coils arent directly on point as advertised, so if your mvp reads to the hundredth decimal place it'll give you a more accurate reading. The readings aren't that far off so I wouldnt worry about it. coils rattling around/heating up may change resistances over time as well.

I say no worries. As mentioned factories don't gice 100% accurate ohm measurements, .05 is well within tolerance from a factory view point and the resistance will change slightly with use.

I agree, its fine . Don't be surprised either to see minor changes while you're vaping.

Totally normal. The chip in the MVP almost certainly has a margin of error at or above 0.1ohm, and as mentioned, prebuilt coils are rarely bang-on accurate. Hell, when I was still using clearos, I bought a pack of coil heads that were off the labeled resistance by almost a full ohm. One of many reasons I got into rebuildables.

Ok, perfect. I've been wondering if it could be the coils.

It really is an excellent unit, I love it so far. I was pretty sure that it was not an issue, just wanted to see if others experienced the same with their setups. Thank you.

It's going to blow up, your gonna die, and the rest of the scouts will have to find someone else, lol

I think it's quite dangerous.

just how accurate do you think mass produced coils should be? if it only off by .03 - .01 ohms thats awesome... thats a max of 7% off not too shabby for what it is... Im happy if my own coils are within .5 ohms of projected build

be nice... your gonna give the OP a fear and make them OCD and quit vaping... we dont need any more OCD types, there are enuf already... the balance is at a perfect equalibrium at this point
and yes my spelling is tearable

 

[Ou2mame]

It's totally dangerous to not round up or down lol psychologically

Assume a 10% margin.

When you buy a 1 ohm coil it might be 0.9 ohms to 1.1 ohms
If you want it to be 1% accurate it will cost twice as much.

Understood.

Perfectly normal. I got a white Subox over the weekend, and the new 0.5 ohm vertical coil. When I put it on an ohm meter, it registers at 0.67 ohms. When I put it on the Subox, it registers at 0.6 ohms. It's not unusual to see a 0.1 or 0.2 ohm variance in a pre-built coil. What you don't want to see is getting a 1.2 ohm coil and seeing it read out at 2.2 ohms. A variance that large, I would worry about.

So what color MVP 3 Pro did you get?

I feel like that was a very big "duh" moment for me. Lol. I figured it was fine, but wanted to double check.

I got the gold one, of course. Was almost thinking of getting a pink one, but the gold was calling my name. I love this unit, it's perfect.

I was the same way. When I saw the gold one, I went oooooo......and decided to get it on impulse. It might not get as much use since I tend to use my temp control mods more, but it is still in my daily rotation.
