Why Do I Get Constant And Different Ohm Readings With An Rda But Not With A Tank?

Hi all,

I have a quick question - I have been getting some inaccurate readings on my coils and I'm trying to figure out which is the closest to the real reading. I have an ohm reader I purchased at Mad Vapes that reads my coil at 1.93. I bought a new ohm meter from USA Ohm Meter (?) that reads it at 2.05. The Cloupor Mini reads it at 1.81 and the HCigar Heart beat reads at 1.83. Provari reads at 1.9. It is 8 wraps of 30 gauge Kanthal. Do any of these numbers even sound accurate?  

I have the Smok xPro M80 plus and I have a couple Kanger subtank minis I use with it. I usually use .5 ohm coils. Sometimes it will show the ohms fairly correctly at .54 or even .61, which seems close enough. However, as I puff, the ohms reading will tend to change after every few puffs. Sometimes it will even say up to 1.5 or 2.0 ohms on the same tank coil! One tank seems to do it worse than the other, but the two I use now both will change quite often, and once in awhile quite drastically. It sometimes helps if I unscrew the tank and screw it back on, but if it isn't really tight, the ohms read are really far off from what they should be. I'm not sure if it is the tanks or the M80 plus that has the problem. When it reads really high, if I don't catch it before I take a puff, it is horrible and burny-dry, since it thinks the ohms are so high...

Has anyone else had this problem and/or have any ideas as to how it can be fixed??

By the way, I've cleaned the connections and everything thoroughly, so it's not that...  

hi all
I have a mvp 3 and I use iclear 30 tanks 1.9 to 2.1 ohms
im vapeing at 12 watts 5.1 volts and have been for a few weeks now
everything was fine until today right now in fact hence the reason for this question
I refilled my tank and screwed it back on my mvp when I pressed the button to vape
it reads the ohms and volts and wattage the wattage was as normal 12 watts
the volts were 7.1 and the ohms were 6.0 totally unvapable and burnt tasting
(I should also point out that the volts and watts are locked in on the mvp)
I have also tried the tanks on other devices and still the same issue
which leads me to believe its the tanks at fault and not the device
I have been vapeing long enough to understand the reasons for burnt taste
and the causes and solutions to rectify it but I have never had this happen before
I tried other tanks and the same has happened except for one which works fine
does anyone have any idea whats going on
thanks

I was building my Avocado RTA today and for my second coil, I noticed that I must’ve wrapped it backwards as the upper leg went in the lower slot (the other coil had the top leg going in the top slot and bottom in the bottom). The tank reads on the ohm meter just fine. I am just wondering if I should re-wrap the coil so that the legs line up with the slots or if it’s fine as is? I hope this question makes sense. Thanks in advance!  

My MVP 20 watt recently started to get a little wonky on me. I use 1.5 ohm coils in an aerotank but for some reason the MVP is readin it as 4.9 and sometimes even higher. Of course its not hitting right either. I know its not the coils because if i put that same tank on my MVP 2.0 it reads correctly. The MVP 20w doesn't do this all the time but today its been doing it all day. It won;t go below 5 ohms and sometimes its even higher. Is this thing shot?  

So, I'm familiar with battery safety, load, amp max for safe use, etc. I also know about ohms law. I'm on a regulated mod with an archon v2 rda and have just wrapped my 3rd set of coils. Three strands of 28ga. Kanthal. Two coils reads on my mod at .12 ohms. What's a good wattage range? I have a dual battery sigeli mod that goes to 200

I'm finding a 1.3 ohm coil to be to low for me. On my Provari, between 2.9 and 3.5 volts are OK. I haven't used this tank on either of my other two variable wattage regs, but I'd think it to be in the 6 - 7 watt range. It's time to re-wick the other tank or quit typing and do it already. I think I'd go for the former, but then I'd have to think about that. The other tank's coil I wrapped to about 1.7 ohms. My mech and me would be ever so gladder if that tank was fully operational again.  

I must say, this is a decent tank. I now have an Atlantis sub tank and a Herakles tank. I do like them both, but on my Atlantis im limited to 30 watts. Anything above that starts to taste burnt. The Herakles I already have up to 40 watts and the juice tastes good and I get good clouds. Im picking up a Sigelei 100w plus from a buddy of mine. Im thinking I may pick up a Matrix tank to go along with it. Anybody have any experience with the Matrix tanks? Good? Bad? Neutral?  

I just saw these on .......... Currently this seller wants $100 for the last one (LOL) but they were selling for $10 shipped. Anyone have any experience or luck with these? I have both the Atlantis and Herakles tanks and would love an RBA for them.

I'm having a mad time trying to find a tank or clearo to fit a relatively small battery to upgrade from my triton without having to go to a MOD set-up I need a nice drip-tip too.It seems like an in between of my Triton tank and a MOD I can't quite find the vapor production I'm looking for I lowered my ohms on the triton 1.8 it did produce a bit more vapor but the tanks just aren't built for those ohms and they run to hot.I've already gone through three coils.I looked at the Aspire Nautilus mini premium kit not completely sold on it, eGo One battery with Nautilus mini but I think the tank I'm looking for should hold more e-liquid.Any help here much appreciated.
