    I used an ohm reader that I bought from a very reputable shop.

    I don't doubt that a bit. My point is that accurate meters are very expensive. No one is going to spend thousands for a meter capable of reading hundredths of an ohm accurately ... forget about reading thousandth of an ohm.

    Thousandths of an ohm accuracy exceeds the requirements of any industry I'm familiar with.

    What would you do if yours goes from .21 to .22?

    Figure it's somewhere around .21 - .22, and that's close enough.
    But I'd probably check to see if the screws are tight.

    add:
    My fear is that when a reading bounces around, the actual resistance is less than what is being read because of poor connections. Poor connections add resistance.

    Little known fact, you can bypass the neckbeard requirements by simply installing garbage can lids in your ear lobes.
    Not everyone with gauges is douchey ;) I'm no where near garbage can size though, and they've been in there and the same size for 20 years now.

    Flick my leads before I cut them off. If the ohms jump then that lead is not tightened down enough. Tighten it. Flick it again. Lather rinse repeat until it stops jumping around.

    I spoke to the guy at my local vapeshop and he told me the same thing. He also added that if I tested the ohms before I took out the hot spots, that can cause the reader to jump.

    When Kanger came out with the first Protank (call it PT1) huge numbers of people on this forum were complaining about how airy the draw was. We still bought out every supplier as it was one of the first if not the first glass tanks and many of us were fighting a battle with juices cracking plastic.
    Now when I retro vape my old PT1 on the provari (considered the Cadillac combo in its day) I find the draw painfully tight and restricted.
    Times change and what we want in a vape changes.
    I still have 3 boxes of Evod coils. Not ProTank coils but the smaller ID chimney Evod coils. We used them in our Protanks because it gave a tighter draw. ATT I bet that they were going to sell off their stock of PT coils and Evods would become the standard.
    D'OH! I probably would have bought Betamax stock back in the day.
