Just curious..

Since I've started using the istick, I now can see the resistance continuously. I'm using 2.4? cartos and find they rise to 4.8? over a few days. They can then go up and down from 3.0? back to 4.8?, sometimes in a matter of minutes.

It's not a problem when the istick is set to watts, I'm more just curious as to the cause. Is it just gunk? or is something else going on?

Sounds like you have a coil problem. If one of the dual coils blows the resistance will double from 2.4 ohms to 4.8 ohms, perhaps you have an intermittent fault on one coil? prowler

As far as I can remember, it's a single coil cart I'm using atm. I'm using it now and it's showing 3.6?. ???
This means to get 5.5 W it's showing 4.4 V.
It may be an istick problem, perhaps.

Try using another cart, if the problem replicates then it could be the is tick, or try the same cart on another regulated device that can measure ohms? Following that I'm stumped if it is a single coil. prowler

Thanks, I'd forgot I had a testing tool, left over from my short experiment with dripping.
It's show 3.9?. I think it happens with all this batch of cartos.

As I said, not a problem, just curious.

Are You Using Liquids Notorious For Coil-Gunking? eg. House of Liquid/Nat. Ext. Tobacco or Custards/High Sugar... Asking 'cos I Sometimes Get This on Clearos/MVP...Esp. if They've Stood for a While. A Dry Burn of Coil & a Re-Wick Sorts Mine....Tho' Dunno if This Helps for 'Stock' Coils!..............
