Smok R40 "Ohms too high"

[Dave0657]

directly after charging my smok R40 the display will read Ohms too high. After 5 mins this will go and then you can use it. Any idea what this is ? New to this so no idea

What coil are you using and what is the device set to?

 

[Dave0657]

Hi mate I'm using a aspire nautilus tank and coil that came supplied with it. Same brand and name on it. Sorry mate I'm new to this so unsure of technical stuff

 

[Dave0657]

Cool has ohm sign on it with 1.5 stamped on. The same ohms sign on my display screen reads 1.68

What is the mod set to as far as power is concerned?

If I'm not mistaken, the resistance (ohm) of Aspire Nautilus coils are supposed to be 1.8 ohm, with an acceptable variation of 0.2 ohm + or - .

Is your battery device (mod) a Coolfire?

If your battery device is reading the coil's resistance different than that, then the coil has a short in it, or the battery device's processor is screwed up. I advice changing the coil after properly priming it.

Pssst! Look at the thread title.

Admittedly, I misread that. I got confused when he said "cool" has ohm sign on it.

Forgive my spelling error also I'm totally new to the scene and a right newbie at vape..... I'm lost with the lingo.

So the atomiser has 1.5 Ohms on it. The screen reads 1.6. I manually changed it in settings to 1.5 but it changes itself back to 1.6 after a few puffs ??

You can't change the resistance (ohms) of the coil with your battery device. You can only change the voltage or wattage output.

The only way you can change the ohms is to replace the coil with a coil of a different ohm. It's normal for premade coils to vary by 0.2 ohm plus or minus. Coil resistance will gradually increase slightly as the coil is used (e-liquid gunking up the coil). Different battery devices may vary slightly in their accuracy/precision to read a coil's resistance.

The authentic aspire nautilus bvc replacement heads are only available in 1.6Ω & 1.8Ω.
The nautilus X replacement heads are available in 1.5Ω & 1.8Ω.

Are you using a standard mini or full size nautilus or the newer nautilus X ?
What power level /settings are you using?

The R40 does have an adjustable initial resistance feature (+/- .05) in TC / TCR modes, SS, Ni, Ti.
The nautilus replacement heads should only be used in watt/power mode.

It's not unusual for there to be some variance in the resistance of factory coils. A difference of 0.1 ohm is hardly surprising or should be a source of concern in and of itself.
