mvp and ohms - vapor low

[clivealive1]

hi

my mvp2 hasnt seemed quite right last day or so.
tried iclear30 and iclear30 s and couldnt put finger on way but didnt seem right.
not getting normal vapor etc.
so checked ohms levels of heads
iclear30 showing as 2.3 ohms   (head is 2.1)
iclear30s showing as 2.5 ohms   (head is 2.0 i think)
never use or buy above 2.2 so something weird ?

both heads were working fine days before ?
is it a pin think, but doesnt seem like it?

any idea ?????

Don't have an iclear but it sounds like your coils need cleaned. Dry burn them or take the head out and clean it

[lairey]

What erik514 said - as your coils gunk up, the resistance increases - Although, I had an iClear30s register : 3.5ohms... think one of the coils had blown

Coils are rarely spot on so but they are generally a little closer to spec.
I would give connections a good clean which should improve matters.
But that shouldn't make any difference if you are using watts to set the power.
You should still get the same vape as the MVP will calculate the correct voltage
After it reads your coil resistance.

Sounds like the heads/wicks/coils whatever you want to call them need cleaning or replacing. Whilst they last much longer than anything else they don't last forever and sweet juices can kill an iclear30s head pretty quickly.

It is worth cleaning the pins too. Rub with Qtip should do.

I doubt the rise in resistance has been caused by a gunked coil. Too much of a coincidence it happening to both tanks simultaneously..

Cleaning out the firing pin on the mvp should be your first step.

Kitchen roll is your best bet as q-tips will miss the gap around the pin. Kitchen roll is also more absorbant.

also give the I clear pins a quick wipe.

I recently bought some of this to clean all the contacts on my mods. Keeps everything nice and efficient.

You should keep in practice of keeping the pin free of juice. Don't want it failing due to juice ingress..

thanks for info
i can confirm i am using watts and the vap is definately worse then normal and have to suck a lot harder.
i have now cleaned the pin with no change.
both heads are fairly new and were correct ohms originally.

hmm tried both on vamo and same issue same ohms on both.

ok that makes it both iclear30 and 30s tanks playing up at the same time hmmmmmmmmmm
I will clear out tanks , clear wicks and dry burn both see what happens.
dont really wanna have to put new head on both unless i have to as only got 1 of each left.

oh a thought, i have been using protank mainly last 2 days since i got it and not used the tanks as much as normal.
would them just sitting there with juice in have caused this

No, it will be the juice caramelising on the coils as others have said. Someone commented on another thread recently that they only get 2 days out of a coil with sweet juices. My home made custard destroys a coil after about 3ml

oh ok thanks, fair enough.

had cappachino and vanilla in one and
cherry and menthol in the other.
