If the vape mod can not read the resistance correctly, the resistance may display a little high or low on the display, the issue may be caused by the reasons below: 1. The resistance detection component might be broken.

Can I increase the wattage of my vape?
Oct 12, 2017 · Hello everybody, I have a problem with my Lost Vape Paranormal box mod. The box mod shows wrong resistance values. The resistance values are displayed up to 0.2 Ohm higher than with all my other DNA Box Mods. I also tried to calibrate the box mod. I have passed the case analysis. A calibration to...
What is ohm in vaping?
Feb 27, 2018 · If it's TC wire then yes the resistance will go up and some mods will show the rising resistance (some will continue to show the locked resistance). There could be some contact problems, that can be in the atomizer if you're …
Why won't my tank work with my mods?
The basic rule of thumb when it comes to vaping & resistance is "the lower the ohm, the higher the watt; the higher the ohm, the lower the watt." However, just like any rule, there are exceptions. Depending on what type of device you're using, how the batteries are run (series vs parallel), the surface area of the coil, you may want to tweak with the wattage to see how it's going to fire best.

How do I fix my vape 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.Aug 11, 2021

You could try the following methods to recover:
- Please take off the tank and click the fire button, and then place that tank back on, click "n" when it asks "is it a new coil".
- Please make sure screws are tight on the tank if you use the RBA coil on your mod.

Hi, I just got a Eleaf istick TC100W with a kangertech subtank mini, and while i vape the resistance keeps going up. It should be around .70, but will go up to around .83 with some use. If i let it sit for a bit and unscrew the atomizer and screw it back in, it will go back down to .70. Is this normal??

I'm using a rebuild in the kangertech at the moment, but it was happening with factory replaceable heads too. The resistance would also read wrong. My .5 coil read .71, and my 1.2 read 1.62.

are you using store bought coils or are you fitting your own on a RDTA/RDA/RTA ?

If it's Kanthal coils then no, it isn't perfectly normal. More likely the mod won't even have enough sensitivity to measure such a small resistance change (0.00002 TCR value). If it's TC wire then yes the resistance will go up and some mods will show the rising resistance (some will continue to show the locked resistance).

Yeah, to me that much of a resistance jump (if you are using Kanthal, which I would think you would be with the drop in coils) doesn't sound right to me. I'd take the tank apart, check the seals, the posts, try it on another mod (if you have one) to see if it's the tank or the mod causing issues.
What is the biggest mistake a vaper makes?
Inhaling Wrong (The Single Biggest Vaping Mistake!) By far, the biggest mistake that new vapers make is attempting to puff on their e-cigarettes as if they were tobacco cigarettes. With a tobacco cigarette, you usually take shorter, firmer puffs because that’s what makes the paper burn faster.
Can vaping wicks dry out?
A vaping tank is similar in that it should never be allowed to dry out completely. That’s because the e-liquid can only pass through the coil’s wick holes if it actually touches those holes. If the e-liquid doesn’t touch the holes, the wick dries out — and you know what happens to a dry vaping wick. Keep your tank topped up.
Why is vaping equipment designed for inhaling?
High-end vaping equipment is usually designed for direct-to-lung inhaling because that’s what produces the biggest vapor clouds — and big clouds are what many vapers want. The problem, though, is that you’re used to inhaling from the mouth to the lungs if you’re a smoker or a recent convert from smoking.
Can you puff too hard on an e-cigarette?
If you puff too hard, in fact, you’ll probably end up with e-liquid in your mouth. The way to puff on an e-cigarette is with slow, even air pressure.
Can you use a coil that burns your throat?
Coils, after all, are expensive. I suggest, though, that you shouldn’t continue using a coil that tastes awful and burns your throat.

I’m very new to coils. I was vaping today and noticed my coil was really glowing.. I thought something was wrong, so I took it apart and everything looked ok. I did a resistance reading and it had dropped from .33 to .18.
stols001 Moved On ECF Veteran
Are you talking about a drop in coil or RTA / RBA deal? I'm assuming the latter. What is the coil material and what wattage are you running it at. Stainless steel will fluctuate in resistance somewhat, and if you took your first (and only) reading when it was cold, vs. glowing red, I could perhaps see such a drastic coil change.

65W. I’m reading it while its mounted in the pharaoh. Its SS. My first and only reading was when I just installed it and never lit it up. I’ve had it in for about a day and a half and noticed it really glowing a bit ago, took it off and took a reading and it really dropped. If its normal, should I regularly take readings of the resistance?
stols001 Moved On ECF Veteran
It sounds within the realm of normal to me. In wattage mode you don't have to worry about it. If using temperature control mode, most mods will have you enter the resistance when it's cold, and will ask about if it's a new coil or not going into TC or if replacing batteries.

As bad pointed out, I also suspect a hot spot or a short. Could be the coil itself or the coil touching a post, atomizer base or cap.

I love this place. Thanks for the videos. I'll watch them tonight and educate myself a bit more. Running coils is s bit more complicated than I thought.
