Paranormal 166: Ohm resistance in Power mode


whoooooo

Recommended Posts

Good day! 

Just got the Paranormal 166 and started to notice that the ohm reading was fluctuating after a couple of days. I only use it in wattage mode. When the mod is locked and idle it would display 1.30, after unlocking it it would go to (.27) then (.25). But once it's fired it stays at my target ohm which is.20. However, when I'm gonna lock it it fluctuates again. 

The only thing that I did in escribe when I got the mod was to set the battery. Is this normal?

Having same issue with ss316l and ss317l wire. Same mod that I got a week ago.

Ohm reading is all over the place. Locking ohms is pointless, as it will unlock them selfs.TC mode rarely works. Tried every profile for all wires.Tried 3 different firmwares. 

 

I’m sending my Paranormal  back on Monday if I don’t find an answer.

Search for posts by 'theswain' and probably 'paranormal'. Can't do it while typing.

Welcome :wave:

 

Found the post. Having same issue but ohm reading is far worse. Tried different tanks with different wire with same poor results.

Its a two week old mod so I’m not going to take it apart.

I contacted seller and Lost Vape. Waiting for a response.

 

Thanks again.

I've seen the post from Mr. Swain and the solution is to solder something from the mod. Seems like a rigorous process and I wouldn't want to disassemble the mod. Is there any other way to resolve this? 

 

It wasn't like this during the first week, I'm using kanthal wire btw which shouldn't fluctuate. Should it be safe since the only time it's steady is when firing?

Stop using it and send it back.

I don't own one, but I read a comment that you might not need to. Or, if your seller won't help you, contact Evolv, help desk (another link I can't get at) as they handle LV repairs. Based in Ohio, USA. :DD
