Ohms dropping rapidly

[Starik]

I got a new PV and carto tank today. I'm vaping it but it tastes kind of like nothing, and my cartomizer ohms have dropped from 2.8 to 2.6 after only a few minutes of vaping.

Is this normal? If I punched my holes too small and the carto isn't getting enough juice, can it cause this?

The resistance drop may be just the difference between measuring the carto dry and then wet with e-liquid. I get that with Vivi Novas all the time: a swing of 0.2 to 0.4 ohms from dry to wet. I've never measured cartos on my Lavatube or Vamo.

There are more important questions: 1) Are you getting good vapor, throat-hit and flavor? or 2) Are you getting a burnt taste?

If you answered "yes" to 1), then that resistance drop of about 7% is insignificant. If you answered "yes" to 2), your hole(s) may be too small for sufficient e-liquid feed into the carto.

I am getting this latley with boge sr cartos.It will start at 2.9 and drop tp .5 and by the next day its down around 2.2 or 2.1 I think that the boges problem is still going on.Just a different problem. They have been good for awhile but the last couple of weeks I am beginning to hate boges all over again

It doesn't taste burnt, just kind of dry and flavorless. I'm using a SR boge in a tank on a provari. Provari is saying 2.8 ohms. The cotton at the top of the carto looks kind of dry. When I drip a few drops of liquid on top, it floods a little. I blow it out and vape it, and ohms say 2.9 now.

I think it's just low quality juice
