Base resistance over time will change as the wire ages and you get buildup on the coil.
I've checked yihi's site and can't find any manual, tutorial, or any how to videos on the sx350j. .. could someone point me to such Yihi info ... all the info here in the thread is good but I can't even determine if the board does any refinement, is capable of auxiliary switches, has a balancing usb charging circuit, warranty info, and etc. etc. I'd like to look at actual documentation if anybody can share it.... thx
You never experienced this?
It happens to every atomizer I've had or used for the 6+ or so years I've been vaping. Gunked coils generally equates to increased resistance.
I don't think it's the gunk, I think it's just the constant temp swings and some mild ablation physically changing the wire, along with oxidation on the connector side of the circuit increasing resistance. The gunk on the coils is just an indicator of use, not the cause.
Then why does dry burning the gunk off the coils cause the base resistance to drop back down? Electrons flow through the surface of the coil. When something is covering the surface of the coil, it adds resistance.
You never experienced this?
Sorry. Never happen... Ever and I had the same coil for over 4 months.
Even Dr. G agrees with me:
So...?

I'm actually stunned that we are even talking about it. lol
I thought it was common knowledge that as a wire ages and gets gunked up the resistance increases. That was the WHOLE point of dry burning back in the day. When we were using fixed voltage devices if we didn't dry burn our coils, eventually the resistance would build up to the point that you would hardly produce any vapor.
I'm not calling you a liar by any means... I'm just shocked that someone is saying they've never experienced it.
I mean heck, even on my mechanical setups. If I don't dry burn my coils or replace them from time to time ... my vapor production will begin to suffer.

Gunk works as a heat insulator. That's probably why you see less vapor production.
I never had a resistance change due to build up. As you can see by my quotes, neither has Dr g. or Rossum for any reason. All three lying (is that's how it's spelled?) would be a conspiracy...

Indeed.
Back on topic...
You guys know what we need? We need Qorax to get an sx so he starts to post vape porn pictures of it. Smoking mirrors, flowers and all

I don't use gunked coils for months. I do notice that gunked coils see a performance shift.
Performance yes, resistance no.

Does insulated copper electric wire have different resistance when carryiing a DC current compared to bare copper wire? If so it goes against all the teachings of every electrical engineering school in the world.

My DNA 40 seems to have problems accurately reading dual coils below .1 ohms although it wasn't necessarily designed to do so. Where my SX will read them very close to what the calculated build should be. I have noticed that they read within .02 of each other for most builds once you drop any where under .1 though my DNA will read it as .1 and then refine to .09! As far as the bad connections go I haven't had my VS pop out of TP even with a bad connection and I've had to figure it out through trial and error!
Insulated wire uses a non-conductive insulation ... so no.
Gunk on a atomizer coil is still conductive and electrons WILL flow through it (at a greater resistance).
If you take nickle wire and wrap something like say ... nichrome ... around parts of the nickle wire. You will add resistance to the coil. Because again, the nichrome IS conductive but it will add increased resistance.
I don't believe that was gunk that caused that but "Auto Refinement" sure would. Like I said insulated wire doesn't have more resistance than bare wire.
