Good afternoon shinies 
Have a good weekend everyone.
Hot here but only me....39 degrees....chest infection again

Then there is still hope.
Thanks Charlie. We're in the la nina cycle now where the Australian east coast gets higher than average rainfall so the fire threat is thankfully much lower than last summer. We've also had months of good rain whereas last summer's fires were at the end of a 3 to 5 year drought.
Still it is uncomfortable (ask your sis). After yesterday's record high temps it's 3am now and still nearly 30°C. Light shower of rain. Heading for 40 plus again later today.
Morning shinies
I'm using an old iPhone 5 - I prefer android phones, but mine is waiting on a new battery. And I love photography -no matter whether I'm using a crappy phone camera or a decent digital
Still using my 2 year old Samsung S9+ . The CPU is still fast and the Super AMOLED HDR10 (Gorilla Glass) screen is a knockout. It has fallen on the floor several times and once in the case onto concrete without missing a beat. I think I'll keep it.
Greetings Shiny Folk!
Hey @AngeNZ how are you liking these coils?
$3.39 Authentic Superfine 316L Stainless Steel Wire - 32*2/38 AWG / 0.2mm*2/0.1mm dia. / 10pcs/pack at FastTech - Free Shipping
I am having major issues with they ohm readings on these things. I have tried to install two of them and them ohms are all over the place. One was showing around 1.30 and the other around 1.40.

The ohms will change depending on the length of your legs. Even half a mm in difference will show a different resistance. Don't worry about the differences between different coils - mine have different ohms too, even in two decks the same.
Plus ss316L rises in ohms as it heats, even up to 0.15ohms or so in difference. As a new builder, the first time I noticed that - I recoiled that deck 3 times as I thought it was a loose leg. But it was just ss316L working as it should

0.1 difference from one to another isn't a big deal with mass produced coils from China. Just be careful that you are tightening your screws tight enough without breaking any of the wires in the coil.
The .1 difference didn't worry me. It was that it was listed as a 1.0 coil on the package and they were .3 to .4 times off that.
So it showing 1.3 or 1.4 is normal even if it's listed as 1.0ohm? I was having the same issue with the Kanthal coils that I bought from them too.Morning shinies

No it shouldn't.
I still wouldn't stress about it. That's minimal + what atty are you using it in? Could your atty maybe not add to the resistance?
Frankly if you are after consistency you should buy a spools and wrap your coils or order premades from a vendor that is wire oriented like AVS or Wireoptim (Lightning Vapes Wire).
Mass produced from China, not unusual or unexpected. The coils themselves are fine, just not wrapped for accuracy.
I'm using it in one of my Dvarws. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with changing the ohms. I never noticed that with my other Dvarws.
I am not super concerned about consistency, but was more worried about if the coils were bad or if they had a short or something. And I do have a few spools of wire and wrap my own on occasion.
As long as you can get an even glow and the ohms for that individual coil are consistent when at room temp the coil is fine to use.
