question re ohms and kanger sub tank

[Caro123]

hello all I have a question: just bought a kanger sub tank mini put it on my istick 50 it reads 0.7 ohms, put it on my 20 watt istick it reads 0.6 ohms put it on my ohm reader it reads 0.61 ohms. Engraved on the side of the coil it says 0.5 ohms is this likely just a glitch in the 50 reading it higher or the probability of an extra wrap on the coil head and what if any difference what so ever would it make ?

I am not terribly sure of the ohm, watt, info. The biggest reason I haven't bought something like a mech mod or anything unregulated

thanks for any info you might give
Carolyn

Pretty normal for Isticks, out of all the 0.5 kanger coils I used on my Isticks, only a few read 0.5. You may find that unscrewing the tank off the Istick and back on again, a little tighter, you can change the reading, I have had some read 0.9, trouble is, that changes the voltage and would cause dry hits sometimes. I would usually, try the above or take the coil out the base, screw it back in again 99% of the time I could get it to read 0.6ohms

a .1 discrepancy in ohm reading is not a big issue. Mass produced factory coils can be like that. The important issue is to start low and then bump it up staying in a comfort zone. If it gets too hot or tastes a little burnt , just back it down.

I pretty much always have coils read .1 ohm higher on my iStick 30W than on my other mods.

You might also look into cleaning the contact points on the mods with a q tip and rubbing alcohol, and the contact point on the subtank the same.

MY iStick usually shows a 0.1 ohm higher than both my ohm meter and my iTaste mvp - so like others said, yes I think it's normal.

thank you everybody I really do have to take the time to learn something about ohms thingies

interesting I took it apart cleaned everything off with q tips and now it reads 0.6 on the 50 the tank does give more flavour than my nautilaus mini using the same juice interesting

I find it depends which day of the lunar cycle dictates whether my boxmod reads +1 or -1 ohms.
