Oxva Xlim Pro 2 DNA resistance issues.

[franticseven]

Gone to the opposite end of the scale from my usual table top  DNA 250C, RTDAs and RDAs.

The replay works, the 'anti-burn' works but all things considered the vapour and flavour is very disappointing.

I've never been great a fan of SS coils, but the 0.6ohm pod vapes like it's overpowered on boost but throttles off too soon for warm flavour.

I've plugged it into E-scribe, adjusted the wattage (18w), boost (zero) and warmth (7) until I get the flavour and temperature near enough.

So the Xlim registers a 0.6 ohm coil, my multi-meter reads 0.6 ohms but E-scribe reads the cold resistance from as low as 0.28 to an average of 0.33.

In developer mode, the preset for SS 0.6 ohm pod shows min resistance 0.27 to a max of 0.47.

Something can't be right?

I do the opposite. I leave my warmth at 2 or 3, and adjust my boost. I'm running my 0.6Ω pod right now at 15 watts. It's a pod. I know others running theirs at >23 watts. Boost has always been at most 1 second. Turn up your watts to the heat you like, and if you want more at the beginning add some boost.

If you look really carefully at that Ω symbol you'll notice a little squiggly through it. Those are equivalent ohms. They vape very similarly to the regular OXVA .6Ω pods.

That's 100% correct, as shown by Atomizer Analyzer. Did you really believe all these pods from all the manufacturers build to such exacting  standards.

How you get to the vape you enjoy is all up to you, and your device is working as expected.

I know, I wasn't expecting huge clouds or flavour thick enough to chew on, I bought it so that i could have a nicotine hit in the beer gardens without lugging around what my mate calls 'the hand-grenade'. I was hoping for a bit more than say a Kayfun with a 2mm coil that needed re-wicking

yes, as I'm found out definitely a device where less is more👍

I'll try your setting.

um yeah,  the manufacturers have been making replacement coils for atomizers for over a decade with fairly reasonable accuracy.

i was kinda expecting a ~0.6 ohm pod

spits out tea  'equivalent ohms' 

On the mod or the pod? I have my PC running through my TV..ain't no squiggle there.

👍that works too

On the mod. Right after the 0.6. Like the 1 o'clock position of the Ω symbol.

I double my nic from my regular mod, and 15 watts for me, gives me similar flavour.

ah yes, found the 'equivalent ohms' icon in display colour schemes, tbh as I don't mess about with colour schemes or icons so I didn't look further. Just took it out of stealth mode..or not😁

I thought that was to denote SS / anti-burn. still 0.33 is not ~ 0.6,  thats like saying cat = dog because it has fur and four legs. 

thanks for the help sure I'll work it out as I go along, just trying to work out whether I need more 0.6s or should buy a selection 0.4/0.6 SS and a comparative 0.6 kanthal..Be a damned shame if the kanthal turns out to give a better vape.

BTW, made up my usual ADV in 50/50 dessert & strawberry..would perhaps benefit from more flavouring or just the wrong way to go?

I have two more steeping, @20% conc, an old bottle of Red Astaire and some key lime,
