Wrong ohms

[Dai1510]

I've bought a pack of fused claptons from a company called steam shark and they are 28GA wrapped in 32GA and the packaging says 0.45ohms which I'm assuming is for single coil builds, I'm using a duel build which should in theory be 0.22 or there about but it's actually reading between 0.34 and 0.4ohms, any ideas what could be wrong

Hi there and welcome to the forum.

What material, what ID and how many wraps?

You've either got a loose post screw, or they're not what they claim to be. It's not uncommon for pre made coils to be out, but that does seem a long way off.

I've made sure my screws are nice and tight, but I did buy these from amazon and they were cheap for a pack of 20, can't remember the price but were cheap especially for 20, even I was sceptical at first

If it helps that say kernel on the back of the pack

maybe kanthal?

Anyways, assuming 3mm ID, they check out as kanthal, around 0.8 ohms each coil, so half for a pair, the reading you are seeing is about right, ie around 0.4
