What does ohms too low mean?
“Ohms Too High” or “Ohms Too Low” Error messages about ohms are specifically related to the resistance of your coil(s) and indicate that a coil is not compatible with the device. Typically, pairing the proper SMOK-branded coils with your SMOK device is the easiest way to fix this problem.
How to change the ohms on a vape?
What color is the highest setting on a vape pen?
- Low – 2.4 volts is great for vape cartridges meant for low voltage settings.
- Medium – 3.2 volts is perfect for a more flavorful and sizable vape hit, and is shown through a red color illuminating.
- High – Green lights mean you are at the high setting, which is 4.0 volts.
What do ohms do in a vape?
Here are the key points to remember:
- Sub ohm vaping uses atomizers with a resistance of less than 1.0 ohms.
- Also called DL, or Direct Lung vaping.
- Use regulated mods, mech mods are dangerous.
- Use sub ohm vape tanks as opposed to building your own coils.
How do ohms affect vaping?
How do ohms affect vape? Simply put, Ohm’s law states that you can alter your current and power in your vape by adjusting your resistance and voltage of your device. If increase your voltage or lower your resistance, you will increase the current and more current means more power. More power means more vapor, warmth and flavor.
What does it mean when your vape says ohms too low?
'Ohms too low' or 'ohms too high' error message This SMOK warning refers to the resistance of your coil. Most SMOK users will use coils that are made by SMOK so they should not have this problem. If you have a rebuildable atomizer (RBA), it could be that the coil resistance is too low or too high.
How do I fix my ohms on my Smok?
The only way to change the ohms is by changing your coil. In a rebuildable atomizer, you set the ohms by your choice of wire thickness, length, material and build (spaced and condensed). In a pre-built tank you change the ohms by purchasing different coils with the specific ohm range you want.
How do I fix low resistance vape?
Low Resistance Dry burning is one way to get around this problem because it can raise the coil's resistance. Another thing to do is add wraps to the coil, which will increase the resistance high enough so that the mod fires. If using a factory coil, either a new coil or vape is needed.

The Power Triangle
Those who do not like the water pipe analogy will like the power triangle. It is similar to the speed, distance, and time triangle used by mariners and pilots to navigate.
Frequently Asked Questions
As earlier stated, the safe resistance is stated in the manual and the specifications. But, again, it is important to emphasize not to vape with coils that have lower or higher resistances than what the devices can tolerate. Someone who does this is risking a serious accident.
Closing Thoughts on Ohm's Law Vape
Using an unregulated device is a lot of fun for people who like building their own coil and blowing huge clouds. However, it requires attention to detail and some rudimentary knowledge of electricity.

So this happened maybe Tuesday night and after not changing my coil for over 8 months in my Mini Buddha RDA by Vaper Cloudz which is on my Smok H-Priv 220w. I just picked up some new fused claptons (around .17 ohms with 6 wraps) while the 8 month old fused claptons (.2 ohms with 5 wraps) had started to die out. The new .17 Claptons lasted a day.

Replace both coils. With dual coils they both have to be the same. By taking a wrap off of the coils it dropped the ohms too low.

This is why I prefer single coil. Your coils have to be balanced. You could run it as single coil of course. I never really vape above 50w myself and sometimes as low as 14w so I can’t say what kind of vapor production you’re going to get. I find super high wattage is usually a resilient for a burning melted mess myself. YMMV of course.

I find clapton dual builds are much easier to sync when the coils are spaced. You will need to buy new coils or you can buy a spool of clapton wire and wrap your own.

If he's willing to vape 1 coil at higher power than when using 2, I doubt a slight mismatch would be a problem, even though it would be on a better tuned system. However I think he just found out how close to the mod limits he was running.

You could pull a wrap off of the other coil to balance them in a pinch. It would drop your total resistance, but you can compensate by lowering your wattage. Notice I said "in a pinch" just to keep you going until you can rebuild with two new coils.

your far out post is negative (ground) btw. The center that runs to the 510 post is positive. Hpriv is rated to fire at .1 so .17 you undid a wrap dropped it below that range. unwrapping one on the other side is just going to make the resistance even lower and the mod still wont fire it. Get new coils or wrap your own.
