20w iStick problem

[tammie467]

My 20w istick LED screen keeps giving me Protection and Atomizer Low readings. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or what is causing the readings? I love my istick and am needing to get it going again.

What is the resistance (ohms) of the coils of your juice delivery device?

Have you thoroughly cleaned the 510 connector(s) lately?
If it won't read the resistance / ohms most likely the coil/head is shorted or your 510 isn't making proper connection.

It could be that the grommet that insulates the 510 center pin is bad and allowing it to short on the 510 body. 20w iSticks have been known to do that.

I don't know. I'm using the same atomizer that I've always used with it.

So it seems that the problem lies with the 510 connector. I'll give it a good cleaning and see if that helps. I'll call my local vape shop and see if they carry the connectors. Thanks everyone!

The istick 20 should show the resistance / ohms on the display screen.

Should be the numbers in front of the Ω.

It's reading .9
Obviously, I know very little about this stuff. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The istick 20 won't fire a resistance that low that is why it is giving you the error message.
Clean the 510 connections & try again, probably end up needing to change the head.
What delivery device / topper / thingy you put the juice in are you using?

Oops! Missed that your resistance was 0.9Ω. The iStick won't fire anything below 1.0Ω

Aspire mini, CE
What do you mean by changing the head?

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Is this it? ---> Aspire - Aspire CE5-S clearomizer

If not look around at the others to figure out what you're using.

The head is sometimes called a coil, the head has the coil & wicking material in one replaceable part.

Be a good time to upgrade your delivery device.

THANKS everyone!!! I'm headed to the vape shop after work to make some purchases.

If you are looking to purchase a new tank consider the Mini Nautilus. It is a glass tank (so you don't have to worry about using tank cracking juice) and it has adjustable airflow.

I had a Mini Nautilus and loved it until it started leaking! What a mess. Spent a lot of money trying to find a small tank then gave up and went back to the Aspire CE.
