What does it mean if my vape blinks a lot when I tried to change the coil

[Brian Hale]

I was at my head shop one day and I spoke to the owner and we tried to change the coil out with one supposedly made for it and all of a sudden my vape was blinking. I have a tsunami Vpower. Then we took the coil out and put the coil that was in the kit and it works fine. I don't know if the coil that is made for it wrong or what it means. I'm a newbie with vaping.

Hi and welcomes,
You atomizer looks like a re-branded Kanger Protank II.
Did the shop try more than one coil?
Do you know the resistance of the original coil and the resistance of the new one?
Did the shop test the "failed" coil for continuity/correct resistance?
Do you have any dedicated VAPE stores local to you?

Cheers
I

the new coil was probably too low in ohms....

Try to check isolation, your coil must not short the atomizer body.

Check your O-rings first, than change them if some is injured, check AFC!

Why did you remove the coil in the first place?
Any markings on the powerhead?
Did you look in owners manual for 'blink' error codes?..

What you have @Brian Hale is

A Kamry X6 battery with a Kanger Protank 3.

Once upon a time, there were vendors charging $99.99 for this set-up.

So, you did quite well. However, Tsunami Premium Vapor charge you $15.99 for 5 new coils, when you can actually buy them for $8.95.

.. and they also say they last 4-6 weeks, which is not true... so maybe don't go back for more when you need more.

i know mine will blink repeatedly when the coil is too low for my kangers...

It's trying to hold back the tears.

The original X6 almost certainly can't do modern resistances, no.
The new one can go mega-low..... good for Kamry..... move with the times my people.

lol .1 is what it can do... but if you put the watts too high... yeah it blinks.

Welcome and glad you joined. Yep, "Dance With The One (coil) That Brought You". Since you are just still learning (see below), you might want to stay away from sub-ohm vaping.
