Protank 1.8ohm Coil Inconsistency?

[excist]

I just got some replacement coils for the Protank from my local B&M and after installing one and putting it on my mod I checked the resistance and it reads 2.7ohm. The coil is marked 1.8ohm and I know there is usually a little variation but never this much. I tested another and it was fine. I did a little searching and couldn't find any other info on this and was wondering if anyone else had experienced this type of inconsistency in their replacement coils?

A co-worker of mine had the same problem with coils from Kangertech, the ones in the black box, not the knock-offs in the white box. Although, I suspect they all come from the same place. I checked the resistance of a coil that he was having issues with. I used a Fluke 83 DMM that had been zeroed-out with the test leads shorted. The coil was marked as 1.8Ω, but was reading 2.5Ω. I checked the other coils in the blister pack and only of them was marked correctly. The others were all over the place; 2.1 to 2.5Ω. I guess the only way around this is to start rebuilding our own coils.

Yeah my 1.8ohm coil is showing 2.1 on my device... and it's the coil that came in the box with the Protank 2. Pretty poor if you ask me, but on a vv device it's a moot point.

The ones I get are inconsistent as well. That's when I realized there is a good reason for vw. Set and forget .
