Why is my atty reading this instead of this?

[want to quit]

Just like with my juice I keep finding stuff from way back in time.

Yesterday I discovered 17 atomizer ranging from Cisco to Iken vape.

I grabbed 5 LR 1.5ohm atomizers, cleaned them and put them on my device.


Bow now my question. How in the world did all of these 1.5ohm attys read 2.5ohm or even 3.0 ohm?

How ow is that possible?

If the wire is partially broken or losing its contact, you'll get that. Maybe you cleaned them a little too aggressively.

If they were dual cartos at 1.5 they have 2 3.0 ohm coils, so possibly one is blown.

Used coils? Even factory coils are not right on. check with your multimeter.

Goodluck

I think JeremyR probably hit the nail on the head regarding poor or broken contact. Poor/degraded coil connections can happen over time and affect resistance, particularly with inexpensive materials like what is used in the construction of traditional disposable attys. I've got some old (2+ years) Joye 510 attys kicking around that haven't even been used yet, now you've got me curious to dig them out and check
