Hey guys, I'm new the forums and been vaping for about 2 months. I recently got into rba's and picked up an AGA-T+ and love it! I did have a question regarding resistance, but couldnt post in the "Atomizer Issues" section; Guess I'm too new.
Anyways, I got my AGA-T+ setup with some 400 ss mesh and a 4/5 wrap of 32 AWG Kanthal A-1. When I first built the coil I checked the resistance without a wick and got 1.8ohms. I then dry fired the coil a few times without a wick and checked again, and was still at 1.8ohms. I then oxidized my wick and poped it in. After I got the wick in place I checked the resistance again and was still at 1.8ohms. I then proceeded to vape for about half a day and then checked my resistance, this time I was at 2.0 ohms. It still tasted fine and was producing good vapor/throat hit so I didnt really care, I proceded to check the resistance through out the day and it would vary between 1.9 ~ 2.0ohms.
My question is why is my resistance fluctuating, and is this normal? I have been testing the resistance with my Vamo V2, and verified its accuracy with my expensive multimeter. I've been vaping between 8 ~ 10 watts.
