I wouldn't worry. Clean and dry all the connections . battery side also. See if that makes a difference.
Nothing to worry about at all. They rarely read .5 and they always measure higher. Many mods fire down to .5. I think they want to make sure its going to work.
Ohms will likely drop with use. The Coil legs are held in place by the center pin grommet, not a great attachment. As the coil fires/heats passing current the legs will etch into place. This is common on Clearo style replaceable heads.
So no need to rush out and buy a Delta II or Atlantis just yet? (sorry that's my shinyitis and tax return talking) Well I know I've seen other threads where the resistance jumps wildly and mine did do that one time when I was messing with the RBA and had a screw loose. But this has read .7 until just now, about 2 hours later where as one person noted it would, it dropped to .6 (its normal reading on these .5's). I'll clean it out, let it sit overnight and maybe try a different coil. Please keep posting your experiences!
Nothing to worry about, what you are seeing is normal variance in quickly produced disposable vape goods with little or no quality control.
Get yourself a good digital multimeter if you want to really know what ohms your coil has ...
WARNING!! Opinions.
I wouldn't be so quick to rush into an Atlantis or Delta.
My Delta whistles on the inhale, which bugs me to no end. I've heard this is a common complaint with them. I've filed, sanded, and polished what I could, none of it helped. Performance-wise, no other complaints.
I also think the Atlantis is subpar to the Subtank.
The flavor is muted, it has a smaller capacity (unless you get the bigger replacement tank), and I'm convinced my Sub mini has more airflow. The one thing the Atlantis had on the Subtank is vapor production. Not a fair trade off to me for lacking in flavor and capacity.
Plus, RBA deck, man.
I've been buying the same 2 ohm coils for 4 yrs now and had maybe 1 measure correctly. Not a problem now with VW, but not nice on an ego. Consistently 2.2 OHMs.
Cool, thanks everyone. I'm still a nicotine addict. Except now when something goes wrong rather than run to the gas station in my boxers at 5 am, I show up at the local B&M ready to throw out 30 bucks I don't have. lol naw, ya'll set my mind at ease thank you again. And yeah, I've actually seen demo videos for the Delta II where you can hear that inhale whistle loud and clear. Also, it looks like it's a pain to fill and I don't like that you can't really see the juice level in it.
Unless you are running your devices maxed out already, just bump the wattage up or down as necessary to get the vape you want.
Totally normal. I have a 1.2 in my KST right now that reads 1.07, the last one read 1.36 and the one before that read 1.10. As I remember the .5 that came with it read around .66 which on a device that only reads to tenth's and rounds to the nearest would show .7
Now if it starts making wild jumps then it may be a connection issue but otherwise vape on.

Yeah, I'm gonna expirement more with the RBA when I have more time. My first couple builds were alright I'm just lazy about rewicking.
Maybe an RTA instead?
The Lemo is pretty nice.
I have been enjoying an experomizer on my ProVari for several months now, I re-wick it with rayon about once a week.
Can't say it would look good on most other tube mods though since it's 23mm, but that's perfect for a 'Vari and it looks fine on an IPV mini.
My Atlantis coils generally read 0.55 up to 0.58 depending on the coil. It's just variance in manufacture. If the resistance isn't jumping around a lot, you're fine.
Cool. It's back on tonight (I alternate between the mini with a .5 and a Nano with the 1.2, which reads 1.3 coincidentally) reading a constant .7. I guess I just get paranoid sometimes like when everything doesn't work EXACTLY like it's supposed to lol. Thank you all again for helping a formerly tweaked out vaper.
