why is my apsire nautilus bvc coils ohms keep going up?

[Stinkytofus]

it went from 1.8 to 2.0 to 2.1 to 2.5 to 3.9, then i cleaned it with warm water and then left it in alcohol, took it out let it air dried

now its reading 5.75 on my ohm meter...

so main question is whats wrong? coil is no good? why it keeps going up?

Have you checked to see if the coil assembly is fully screwed in to the base? I've noticed these have a habit of loosening sometimes.

When a coil is completely toast it will develop a hot spot that causes the wire in that area to get thinner and thinner, making the resistance increase until the wire fails.

How old is the coil? What are you using for a battery (or what wattage or voltage if VV/VW)?

it gets pretty hot at the coil area, almost burning hot, i guess the coil is no good no more because i tried firing it up after i cleaned it, it wouldn't fire

i was using at 7watts with ipv2 and mvp 2.0 and then nemesis mechanical clone

Just get a new coil dont even clean the BVC because they have a ceramic cloth wicking material. Use em, burn em, toss em, replace em

I tried this once with a BVC. Same result. At $2 a coil ain't doing that again.

I just watched a bunch of videos yesterday about dry burning the BVC (not the BDC). Seems to work fine as the wicking material is ceramic fiber. We also dry burned and dismantled a couple of used BVC nautilus coils at the vape shop and torched the wicking material today. The material became super clean, but was too hard and brittle to re-roll around the coil. I now just realize it probably needs to be pushed in as-it rather than trying to insert it with the coil.

I did learn something important: There IS a nautilus clone... the finish is rushed rather than polished and the top of the atty is missing the steel mesh. Look at the top of your coil and if you can't see steel mesh, then it is a clone.

Mine went the opposite direction for the most part. I've had a couple that read at 2.0-2.1 on my Zmax V5. I've also had several from the same pack read 1.2 to 1.0. Those I put aside cause I got skeered.
