Hey I'm new to building so bare with me....I have a drop rda with a .4 ohm tiger Clapton coil....says it should run around .4 but my box is saying its running at .53 is this any concern or does it vary alittle

When wire is made it is going to have some level of inaccuracy or "tolerance". So if a specific wire is supposed to be 0.4mm diameter and 3.44 ohms per foot. It will always be close to that but one foot of it might be 0.002mm larger or smaller and off by a corresponding amount of resistance. When dealing with clapton coils, you not only have the tolerance of the core wire(s) but also the tolerance of the wrapping wire all of which could alter the final outcome.
By the same token your measuring device also has a tolerance level of inaccuracy in it's measurement. This could further cause a deviation between what is expected and what is measured.
Finally there is a lot of "extra" conductor between the actual coil and the measuring device in the form of the wires connecting from the board to the 510 pin inside the mod, the actual 510 pin, and the atomizer itself. Now "good" mod makers will measure the resistance of the internal wire and 510 pin and calibrate the board to account for those, but many mod makers do not. There is no way for a mod maker to calibrate for the atomizer itself if they don't know which one you are going to use.

I'm currently running a single coil....good flavor drags nice at 60watts. I don't wanna sound stupid just wanna make sure I'm not doing something dumb and blow it up....thanks for the input everyone.
Better to "sound stupid" before it blows up, than look stupid after it blows up.
So is it safe to say it should be all set or it might blow up lol.
^^-- I think that should be 2500 mah, not 2500 mA (2.5 A).
Higher resistance than expected could at least be contacts, etc.; lower than expected probably should be explained before trying it.

I'm just hoping it doesn't blow up....I could care less if my cotton burns or my batteries drain faster I just want it somewhat safe
If your batteries are authentic Lg he2 or he 4 and you're using a regulated power device around 60w it is 'safe'.
2 - true 20a CDR cells are good up to 120w as long as they stay cool.

Thanks I'll pick up a new set of battery's tomorrow just so I have a sister set and maybe try a different coil tomorrow just to see what's up....appreciate the feed back
