Sig V3 9..9 and puzzled

[JayJ]

Hi all hoping one of resident geniuses can help me out. My sig zmax v3 is displaying all sorts of different ohms readings. It starts at 2ohms which is what the head in my aerotank is then seems to change on every firing. 2.9, 4.5, 7.5, 9.9 all over the place. I've changed the head 3 times on the aerotank so it's not that. I've also tweaked the contact pin up and down to various positions and still the same.

I'm also wondering if this could effect the taste of my juice ? I love my red astaire but this last day or 2 it's been having a bit of a metallicy slightly burnt taste. I like red astaire at 6.5w and I've checked I haven't accidentally bumped up the watts.

Advice much appreciated

Edit: my current tank of red astaire tastes just fine but in a couple of hours I'm anticipating the metallic burnt taste.

Sounds like a bad connection somewhere, causing high resistance readings and
Confusing the chip inside.
Positive pin connection is always the first place to chock, but it could anywhere.

^^^^^^^ what markm said, defo 9.9 means no connection.

Seems odd that adjusting the centre pin isn't helping. I've had the problem before and a quick tweak sorted it in seconds. It's doing the same with my evods aswell so I'm sure it's the mod.

Right, I'm of the opinion it's where the battery positive end sits. I've just tightened the zmax a little more than I usually would and more often than not it's displaying 2.0 ohms with the occasional high reading, 9.9 or short displaying but not random readings every time like before.

Try cleaning the battery connector inside the mod with a cotton bud soaked in isopropyl alcohol (or vodka). Also clean the ends of your batteries. It's amazing how gunked they can get.
