Why do my coils in the istick 60w always show a higher number then rated? I have 1.6 ohm Atomizors and the istick sees it as 1.75 ohm, why is that?? Thanks, Rob

That is not very much of a difference. The coils could just be that ohm or just the mod is off a little on the reading. But not a issue, you should always go by what you like vaping, and forget about what it reads.
Ok, Thank you
1. iStick isn't known as the standard bearer as far as quality control goes - the built-in reader could be off.
2. Manufactured throwaway coils don't tend to be the most accurate, either - I've ran them in a half dozen different tanks from different manufacturers, readings from 0.05-0.1 off of what they advertise is pretty typical.
But like @SMOKIE says, just go with how the vape feels and for the most part ignore the numbers - turn your power up or down to compensate for the bad readings/off coils/whatever's causing the problem that really isn't one...

All my Isticks read 1 ohm higher.
