I'm trying to switch from nickel coils I build to stainless steel coils. I have 3 Vaperesso Gemini tanks and an Eleaf and Kanger vaporizers. This is the best example I can give of the problem I ran into. I built a .36 coil, actually 2 approximately a little over 6 ohm coils in parallel. It worked very well on the Eleaf but would not work on the Kanger. Fairly quickly, a day maybe 2 the resistance went to .4 ohms and the Eleaf would no longer work in temp mode and would switch to wattage mode. I removed the coil and took off 1 turn of the winding that brought it to .32 ohms and again it worked. It stopped working but just trying it it is working with .34 ohms. In another tank I built coils for the Kanger that worked for 30 to 45 min the resistance was 3.1 ohm and the next day the resistance is .35 ohms and it stopped working.
The coils are 5 to 6 turns of 26 gauge stainless steel 316l I generally measure in the morning or at least give the coils a chance to cool. I did watch a coil go up in resistance by heating and it did not go back down to the original resistance. Maybe I'm missing something.
