Oh The Ohms

[Hein510]

Ok so 2x 2Ohms coils in parallel makes 1Ohm!

So will a quad coil be
(2x 2Ohms) x (2x 2 Ohms) = 0.5Ohms

Is that right?

Jip. exactly.

Correct, you can use online Resistor calculator: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-paralresist.htm

or use the formulas:

Coils in Parallel:

Rtotal = 1/((1/R1) + (1/R2) + (1/R3) + (1/R4))

Coils in Series

Rtotal = R1 + R2 +R3 +R4

Its actually nice to have something where maths comes in handy! Always loved maths!

Quick question! Put a new coil in the PT2! Got a 1.8Ohms coil, tested it, shows 1.8Ohms, put it in the juice and it shows 2.3Ohms! Is that normal?

Now that I've got the SVD I'm testing everything!

I have also noticed that a juiced up coil sometimes makes the resistance slightly higher. Not always though. But to go from 1.8 to 2.3 does sound like a very high jump indeed. Haven't seen that before. If it changes it's usually by 0.1 or so

Same thing happened with my bro-in-law. Bought the same 1.8 kangertech coil. Shows 2.4 in the juice.

I tested 3 kanger evod coils on my SVD and my findings were 1) 1.9ohms, 2) 2ohms and 3) 2.1 ohms
