Just got my xcube and a kanger subtank mini. I put in the 1.2 ohm coil on my mod and it asked if it was a new coil i said yes and its reading ad 2.2?? Im using it at 8watts right now and its blowing clouds but the coil says 10-26watts and i can't figure out why its readinf wrong.
SMOK XCube II reading wrong ohms??

Clean 510 w/ alcohol and qtip. Then put tank on while mod is asleep, and see what it reads. Check coil connection to base on subtank as well.
The kangertech floating 510's are terrible
I would look at trying another tank although the mod is a pain too
You have any tanks you can try?

.01 .03 off is ok but .3 no still not right
Try another tank and report back
Good luck

.3 isn't really that bad for a mass produced Kanger coil. I've seen them be off that much many, many times.
I'm not familiar with the heads used in the Kanger subtank mini, are they dual coil? Factory built mass produced coil heads of any brand are of dubious quality to start with but if a dual coil 1.2 ohm head is reading around 2.2 ohms could be one of the coils in the head is defective. It takes two 2.4 ohm coils to create a 1.2 ohm dual coil head, if one of the coils is defective (no contact) the reading would indeed be around 2.2 ohms. Just a thought.
All my subtank have gone to the vape heaven due to the floating pin the ohms were just everywhere
Kangertech were my starting point but I've moved on and you will in time

So I have a XC2 and I build on RDA's. I've always noticed a .2-.3 ohm difference on the mod and a ohm reader. Seems to be just a shady 510 issue. But you can adjust the ohm reading in the menu.

... It doesnt read any of my tanks ohms right.. I know its the mod because i tried the tanks on my other mod and they read right. I pushed the pins out on my tanks and they still dont read right.. My 1.2occ kanger coil is reading 1.42 my .4 titaniam on ny ego one mega is reading .67 and my aspire nautilus 1.6 is reading 1.8.
Actually on above 1ohm coils, it is not uncommon for Kanger and other Premade coils to read +/- .2ohm. Obviously you do not want this in a Sub ohm coil, but it is still a manufacturers variance, not most mods.
Op, the problem is in Proper Coil grounding and/or proper 510 grounding. Any loss = higher resistance readings.
Recheck coil tension - loosen and re-tighten.
Clean the 510 connections on Mod and Tank with q-tip and alcohol.
Fire the Mod with no tank attached.
Install tank and screw almost flush, but not quite.
Fire mod and select New coil again and read ohms. Note if any changes and if better or worse.
* sometimes the Coil may not make clean contact with the base of the tank*
fully seat the coil head and assemble tank
firmly press on the floating 510 center contact pin to ensure contact with the bottom of the coil head in the tank
install tank on mod
remove the battery
reinsert battery
turn on mod
press fire button
select new coil (make sure to select new coil)
firmly press on the floating 510 center contact pin to ensure contact with the bottom of the coil head in the tank
install tank on mod
remove the battery
reinsert battery
turn on mod
press fire button
select new coil (make sure to select new coil)
actually, I think this is what I do,
Edit:
unscrew coil head
press in the floating 510 center contact pin in the air flow base
screw in the coil head
press on the floating pin again
install tank on mod
remove the battery
reinsert battery
turn on mod
press fire button
select new coil (make sure to select new coil)
You should not have to remove the battery to reset the device, but I have had to do it on enough mods (not just smok) that it has become one of the first things I do when I get a bad read on resistance.

Go into settings, find initial resistance and set it to 1.2 subtank coils are always a bit off but it shouldn't be that much usually about .1 off.
