Smok T-Priv problem

[RayN]

I've started to have a weird problem with my T-Priv. It will randomly change resistance while I'm vaping. One hit might be at .30 ohm, the next might be at 1.2 ohm.
It's doing this with brand new smok coils as well as one's I've used for a while.
I've only had the T-Priv about 2 weeks.

Defective Mod or bad Coils?

What do you think?

Smok is notorious for sucking. I have a mag and it won't read the smok coils as new or old. The last resistance of the last coil goes on. RDA and other coils are fine.
I would say defective mod. if under warranty bring it back. If you want to junk it I will give you 15 dollars for it. I need the two top screws for my t-priv. mikelf77@gmail.com

Just to be clear.. wicking issues wouldn't affect the resistance at all correct? (I'm new to the sub-ohm world.)

It's still under warranty so back it goes for replacement.

Send it back and no, wicking shouldn't have anything to do with resistance fluctuations. It sounds like an electrical fault to me. Glad you are warrantying it.

Best of luck,

See if you can get your money back and buy something else. Their coils are prone to problems as well.

Mine did this for a short period. Make sure the tank is screwed in to the connector tight enough. This only happened with one particular tank though, which btw was the tfv8. Not the big baby beast but the next size up. After i got it in tight enough, the fluctuations stopped.
