I bought the eleaf istick tc 40w bundle and after using it for a couple puffs I put it down, come back to it later telling me "atomizer low". Ive tried cleaning and switching coils and no luck, still says low atomizer whenever I push the " puff button". Wondering if anyone knows of this dark magic and how to counter act the spell.

Check to be sure the 510 pin on it isn't stuck down. If it is, it may not be making a connection with your atomizer, and that could cause the atty low warning. If it is stuck down, just turn the mod off and press the pin down a few times with a sewing needle or bent paperclip. This should get it to spring back up and hopefully make a proper connection.
I had the same problem after i dropped my set. Before that it was all working fine. After trouble shooting afew times, all i can do is not to screw the tank too tight.loosen it abit until u can see ur ohm at the display.

I tried both of those and neither worked. The 510 pin seems to be in the right place. For more information I have the GS air tank with .15 coils and my ohms keep showing on the device at .13
Any other ideas??

The iStick 40 w only reads down to .15 ohms. At .13 ohms it won't fire because the coil is reading too low. Swap out the coil and try again.
I would guess you have a bad set of coils. But... do you have another tank to put on it and try? A higher resistance coil?
Nope. Plan on buying more stuff though. What do you recommend so this doesn't happen?
I'm not a fan of pushing the limits, so I would suggest a higher ohm coil..."if that is the problem". Most coils upon use get higher resistance, I don't know what is really causing the problem. You might try plugging the mod into it's charge cable. I remember reading about something that it has helped some iStick products, but I don't remember the issue. Try turning it on and off, plugging it in both on and off. Also there is some method where it asks to read a new coil, or make an adjustment, where you can set the coil reading or something. I am not up to date on the tc stuff as yet.
Thanks for all the info. I'm still going to buy a decently priced tank and probably another box mod around the same wattage. Any ideas what to go for?
I like the reviews of the Joyetech Evic Vtc Mini. I prefer mods which use replaceable external batteries. It seems such a shame that mods which use internal non-removeable batteries need to be thrown away when the battery dies of old age. Plus, I get to choose which battery to put in the mod. Removeable IMR batteries are safe chemistry; internal non-removeable batteries are Li-Po (not safe chemistry).

There's a hundred different options. For tanks I use the Kanger Subtank Mini's and build my own coils. I have a Smok TVF4 tank on it's way in the mail from a contest win here on ecf (already purchased the build deck for it so I can wrap my own coils). It's touted as a cloud machine and described as a tank with flavor similar to dripping. I am also waiting for the Cube II 160 watt mod from Smok as well. It will be my first TC mod.
I have been looking at comparable mods as well.. Sigelei 150 w tc, Snow Wolf, and ipv4s all use dual 18650 batteries (which is the direction I moved when I got my Sig 150 w VW mod.) Also I like the internal battery mods for grab and go, as well as the Cloupor Mini tc mod(single 18650 battery) that ECF is giving away in the contest (top of every page, enter it if you haven't).
Once I experience the Smok Cube tc I should know which direction I'll go. Good luck in your decisions.

I've got the same setup and had the same problem - or so I thought. I'd accidentally clicked the middle button and gone to wattage mode when using a TC head which is too low for wattage mode. Have you done the same?
Even in temperature mode it says temperature protection and won't fire
