RDA on Vamo V5 Ohms Changing.

[Lemonstrator]

So I recently picked up a Plume Veil clone from my local B&M, and the guy there built me a 1.6 ohm coil. It was working great, I vaped at 15 watts and no issues with anything. Eventually it came time to rebuild the coil, my first build. So I built a coil, 9 wraps of 28g kanthal, aiming for 1.4-1.5 ohms. I got it all set up, and it read 1.4 ohms. Good news.

But...

Once I dripped some juice onto the wick and fired it up, the ohms kept changing. It would be like 1.6, then jump to 3.5, and all sorts of crazy numbers, but sometimes settles at 1.6, or 2.3 or something for a couple hits, then goes back to freaking out.

Is there any advice that I could get for fixing this issue??

PS: I do have a Nemesis clone on the way, I just use the rda on my Vamo till it gets here.

Hi Lemonstrator, welcome to the forum.

Usually when your resistance jumps around like this it's an easy fix - it's usually a loose screw on your deck and the wire is not making good contact.

Tighten everything down snug, see if that helps. You might even have to rebuild it to get it to fire properly as sometimes when you tighten the screw, you break the wire at the edge of the hole and it barely makes proper contact.

If it is a broken wire and it keeps happening, you can get a little file or sandpaper and gently rub off any burrs around the post holes.

If that doesn't work, I would take everything apart in your plume veil, give it a really good clean, then inspect everything closely - paying particular attention that the insulator that the deck sits on is in good shape. Giving your threads and battery contact area on your Vamo won't hurt any either.

Awesome! That fixed it and now I'm reading 1.5 ohms!
