Very odd ohm reading on the Alien

I don't know if people experienced this. My ohms reader is so terribly off on my Alien. When I changed from my Twisted Messes to the Cloud Beast with the TFV8 coils it detected the new ohms at like .5 something one time. When I put my RDA back on which has a build of .3 even is detected at around .45, so I figured out a way to fix these issues somewhat. I didn't find that taking out the batteries and putting them back in, making it detect a new coil would help because it just got worse and it read the coils just as bad. What I do is connect the tank or RDA and then go to settings-download-update firmware and click on the Y. This must be doing something because the Alien reads my coil properly. I even had a time that I chose the new resistance and I got messages on the screen saying not to use dangerous objects. Restarting the firmware this way must be doing something, even though of course it's not replacing it. I believe it's doing a hard reset. It's just from my experience with this mod (I have software 1.0.2 and computer can't update).

I have 2 aliens, and my first one (both are updated) was reading way out. I cleaned the pin with rubbing alcohol on a Q-Tip and it seems spot on now. Might be sensitive to juice/ dirt?

I tried everything else, and had given up on it until I decided to clean it just to see.
That's a great idea. I'll try that.
