IS IT ME OR?

Do carto's go up in ohms with use, my vamo was reading 1.3ohms earlier in the week now 1.7ohms?

I don't normally bother checking but I think they do. I'll vape a new carto at less voltage than an older one. I seem to have to up the voltage to get the same hit as the carto ages

I find with my vamo the ohm reading on the same atty changes all the time, that is with the heads that came with the nova and with re coiled ones. Something with the vamo maybe? i am sure somebody will have an answer.

Cartos do go up in ohms with use. As the coil gets coated in oxidised gunk from the juice it's resistance increases. You might find that after a wash and dry burn it drops back again.

Yep the ohms go up, I'm not a tech expert but I assume it's something to do with coil getting gunked up.

New coil on SS wick that was reading 1.6 2wks ago is coming up now at 2.2, new wick & coil on the killer which is silica was 2.0 ohms new, now coming up at 2.5.

I do check the resistance on a semi regular basis, specially with a SS wick, even if it doesn't look gunked up once the ohms start getting up into the 2.00s (like this one is now) I find I'm getting a harsher throat hit & slightly less vapour for the same draw time, so time to recoil.

Everytime I coiled a nova, I find that my ohms go down. The one I am using now started at 2.2 and now its 1.8. I had some that's shown a decrease but has gone back to original reading as Oneday has said after a wash and dry burn.

Great question Denis.

As Oneday says, gunk will increase resistance. A drop in resistance can sometimes be an intermittent short.

Thanks everyone for replying,
Would tend to agree about the gunking up as would make sense, maybe a good indicator for cleaning rather than waiting for the crap taste to arrive. Lol
