Here is a question for you guys in the know. last week I made a micro coil which worked out about right at 2.6 ohms, stuck it in my davide with some cotton wool in it and very happy with it. its been working great on my evic with my minted up tobacco juice but what I have noticed is for the last couple of times that I have topped up with liquid that the ohms reading is getting higher an higher. It's now up to 3.1 ohms Its still vaping fine, lots of vape an flavour is good. anyone got a clue why it would increase like that? Going to make another one tonight to replace it but would like to know why it's doing it. Cheers in advance

Could be that the coil has clogged up as when they do the resistance gets higher, take the head out and give it a clean and dry burn it and re-wick it with cotton.

Sounds right. Maybe too much cotton. When I first started using cotton wool I was given a tip. "Take how much cotton you think you need. Now put 75% back" It works a treat. My sack of cotton is going to last forever.

For future reference, remove the cotton wool before dry burning it! Cotton wool ignites quite quickly and smells rather rank - as you can probably guess, I've done it - but only once!!
