[Paranormal 75C resistance too high FIX]

I was annoyed and Angry too!

But trust me if you did it carefully and follow the steps, you will be happy! 

BTW.

Ypu dont need to disconnect the black wire from the 510. I didn't do that. I was able to unscrew the 510. And clean all the parts without disconnecting the black wire.

Hello all, as promised, I have taken pictures along with a write up on how to fix the Paranormal that reads ohms too high.

The 510 connector on the Paranormal has what I believe is thread lock between the ring where the ground wire is soldered to, and the main body of the connector. thread lock is a non-conductive substance which causes the Ohm readings to be off, However, it is an easy fix.

I have included pictures for steps 1-5, after that, it is reassembly so follow steps 3-1 in reverse order. 

Step1: remove the 3 T5 torx screws that hold the 510 to the body.

Step 2: carefully unsolder the ground (black) wire form the outer ring. (take care not to over heat and melt inner insulator ring.)

Step 3: using two pair of adjustable jaw pliers, grab the edge of the 510 with one pliers, and the ring that the ground wire was connected to with the other, and unscrew the ring from the 510. (take care to not how the insulator ring goes in.)

Step 4: clean out the threads inside the ring and off the threads of the main 510 body. Using a pair of tweezers or small flathead screw driver is a good idea.

Step 5: wipe ofF threads with rubbing alcohol or acetone. 

Step 6: reassemble and tighten down ground ring to main body of 510. 

Step 7: re-solder the ground wire back to the ring, (don't hold heat on too long or you risk melting insulator ring.)

Step 8: line up the 510 and reattach to body with 3 T5 screws. 

that will bring the ohm reading back to correct readings.  

Update to this list, this particular paranormal also had a spotty Positive connection, which also is an easy fix with a soldering iron, see last picture for fix.

Edit: My test coil is a .29ohm coil for reference.

I'm glad to tell you that i did it with my Cuz. On my DNA166 And it's working perfectly now! 

Thanks so much for the instructions man!😁

You are super awesome!! I have the same problem with my Paranormal 166. 

I'm going to try this fix.

That's a bunch
