24g kenthal A1 at 3.0

I tried to copy a build on internet, but when I hit fire button it reads 0.11 Ohms I hit it again and it says 0.10 Ohms sometimes and fluctuates what is causing this?

I'm running IPv3 with a Pharaoh I can take pics of the build

We need a little more information on your build in order to be able to answer your question better:
How many wraps?
Dual or single Coil?
Have you checked all connections to be sure that everything is secure? The fluctuation in resistance of that range is definitely normal, but the resistance you are running is very very low for 24G kanthal, which is why I asked the first 2 questions.

Its on a regulated, IPV3 he stated, which that puts my mind a little more at ease until we can reconcile what is happening. That was my first concern is that build was on a mech.
i missed that part lol

The first thing I would suggest is to tighten down your screws.

A 0.10Ω-0.11Ω jump is normal The resistance of kanthal will vary slightly when heated. But to go from 0.10Ω-0.16Ω is a pretty big jump. Also, make sure the ONLY think touching metal is the ends of your leads.

make sure all the screws are tight and try it on an ohm meter if you have one. if not try both mods. should be around .29

.15 is pretty low. Your other build of .29 was fine. lower isn't always better. not with regulated mods where you can adjust things.

I read that lower resistance would make bigger clouds and I saw a build I liked and wanted to try it out I don't have a ohms reader

I was at exactly 29 on my other build that was just one coil with 5 wraps, but I'm not sure of the diameter, but it's boring haha I wanted to try something cool looking

I'm going to guess you're NOT really using kanthal

for mechs kinda but there is a little more to it then that. for regulated mods it's really more of a surface area and air flow. low resistance =/= clouds. For instance If i did 2 wraps of 20 guage kenthal 3mm i'd have a resistance of .1 but wouldn't get shit for vapor lol
the pharaoh is ok for clouds but more of a flavor RDA. i give it a 7/10 for clouds but a 10/10 for flavor. something with a smaller chamber and more air like a tsunami 24 is more for clouds. I'd give it a 9/10 for flavor and a 9/10 for clouds. I prefer the pharaoh as I'm more about flavor then clouds.

What build do you run on your Pharaoh?
I run mine with either a single fused clapton or dual fused claptons side by side.

Cool looking builds are fine for coil porn, but I think you're more interested in flavor and clouds. That being said... I happen to have a sort of "coll looking" cat track build in the Pharaoh right now. The flavor and vapor production are spectacular for a single coil install.

it's a SS316l fused clapton. 1/4 inch ID (about 6.3mm) 7 wraps. I think it ohmed out at about .35ish IIRC and the flavor was amazing as was the vapor production. and I could take long hits due to the massive amount of cotton in it

it's crazy how a 35 dollar RDA just kicks the ass out of these 150+ dollar RDAs out there. and has a huge juice well with no leaks.
If they made a taller one with a 5ml juice well that would be amazing. I wouldn't need an RTA then lol

I like that wide coil you have. I'll have to try something similar when I get tired of the current coil.

yeah the big fat coil works really well. i wanted to see how big i could fit. the 1/4 inch fit with room to spare. might be able to get away with 3/8. 1/2 might be too big though

I cant agree more , there's always that baby TFv8 I kinda wish I got alien kit , because I like dripping and I like building my own coils and usually I have no problem and it was weird.. I put my old build back on after trying that new build I wanted and my old build use to be .29. well when I put it back on it read .54 something, witch threw me off I kept playing with it and playing with it my batteries eventually died I threw new batteries in and it read .29 so Idk if my mod had to reset and "find new coil" or what, but it was all weird

Interesting yeah maybe it was something simple as resetting resistance
