On my desk I have 3 devices. I built what should be a 0.7 coil and popped it in my subtank.
On my Smok Xpro II is is showing at 0.97ohm On my Istick it shows as 0.7 which is what it should be On my Mr's Smok Xpro II it is showing as 1.32
I haven't done any firmware updates on the Smok's yet, could that be the problem?
Edit:
Think it's my subtank, just tried the dripper on all 3 and all 3 read it at around 0.5 which is right.
So what the heck is wrong with my subtank please???

If it`s the tank I am thinking about, the spring in the 510 tank base can give similar problems to that. They are a bit on the weak side so dont contact as firmly as they ought to. It`s possible to change it for a slightly stronger spring. A strip down of the base and clean up of everything can cure it, but no guarantee that it wont come back. Another thing I found on mine was that if the coil unit is not screwed in pretty tightly, it can do the same thing

It looks like there isn't a spring, just a post. I think the problem is that the screw threads on the smok are longer and the subtank just isn't making proper contact because it isn't spring loaded the pin just pops back in once it's screwed down and it doesn't make proper contact once the pin is in.

I`m wondering how that coil head contacts the 510 pin inside the base, anything to clean in there? I would think the coil head needs to be pretty tight if it isn`t spring loaded inside.

The firmware shouldn`t make any difference collie2011

By the way, the SMOK XCUBE 2 and the SMOK XPRO M80plus do have a spring loaded 510s The plus is very stiff has a strong spring
