Constantly having to update resistance

[impulso]

Hi All,

I am not new to temp control, having used a therion for quite a while. Bought a paranormal 250C cause of shinyitis, and have been building my own coils for a while now(all this information to rule out user error). Am on my third set of coils now, and the issue below persists.

I find that I am constantly having to remeasure my resistance before it will allow a proper vape. Otherwise I essentially hit the temp control warning immediately if the mod has sat for a while. I have it set to 10W with a temp limit of 400F.

I am using SS316L, diameter 25mm, with 5 coils. Impedance varies between 0.4-0.5 ohms and I find that I have to reread it constantly. I switch over to the therion, and this issue doesn't come up.

Any ideas as to why this may be happening? Stumped and looking for any insight. Thanks everyone!

Have you cleaned the threads on the 510 of the paranormal? Lost vape had some coating on some of their 510 threads where atty screws in.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will do that. Can't believe the wild fluctuations in resistance - nearly 0.1 Ohms change that occurs randomly. I'll report back if it stays steady.

I haven't opened one up yet but it's not that unusual for the 510 to loosen.  I think the Paranormal is mounted on top, not sure but check that.

 

I've had problems with Ohms drift on complicated coils.  Simple round wire works better but I don't usually build those.

Still having this issue and cleaned the 510 connector and the 510 doesn’t seem loose. It’s a simple 5 coils round wire SS 316 build. It’s so frustrating. Reached out to the vendor. Maybe it’s the mod, but even then, what would cause this? So puzzling

Weak 510 spring pressure, poor solder joints, poor atty pin connection/coil connection ,  many possibilities, frustrating to sort them out

That sucks. Is this common with the paranormals?
