i just did my first build on an rda and the ohms are fluctuating from .4-.6 and my mod is rated for .1ohms and im trying find out if this has happened to anyone and if i should be concerned about using it, it puts out vapor alright and everything but the ohm jump around is something i did not expect would happen as far as i can tell it is built right this is a pre-wicked picture

Ohms will change with the heat applied, not so much with kanthal but especially with stainless wire.

316 stainless steel 26 gauge i made sure the ohms matched at .72 each and it starts at .36ohm half of each coil but it jumps around up to .2 ohms

Hmmm.. SS definitely fluctuates but that seems like a wide variance.

should i just wick it wet it and go for it and see how much it jumps around? if its fluctuating more than .1 ohm then im just going to try kanthal next

SS should only be pulsed at very low wattages - it cannot take the serious blasts kanthal requires

Make sure the clamps are tightened down fairly snug.

well ive vaped it a few times and it only fluctuated .03 ohms so I think im good now and its giving off clouds that 60-70w give with my baby beast .16 ohm coil

.03 is negligible and to be expected :)

IMG_0958.JPG IMG_0958.JPG Puts out pretty good for such a small build and that wasn't that big of an inhale maybe half of how long I normally do when I'm trying to get a big cloud
