Does the tank work if you try it on another mod?
- Status
I've tested it on 2 different AL85's. One that I've been using for about 3 years, and one that is brand new that I bought a while back and a backup. Doesn't work on either one.
Is there any way to take a pic or two of the tank in question?
Some people I know have good experience with AL85s and I actually think it's still a good mod.
It seems something wrong with the tank itself. Can you take it apart and check if there's some metal shaving or somehing shorting out?
Good luck.

If the original tank works fine, and the new one won't work on other mods either, I would suspect a short somewhere in that new tank. Since you have checked the 510 insulator, check the coil head, closely.
You don't happen to have any other way to check resistance of the tank do you?

The biggest issue with SMOK seems to be quality control. It's possible to have a good experience (or two) with them, but you can't count on it. That said, I agree that the problem in this case probably has more to do with the tank than the mod.
@Bill54, when you looked at the insulator, did you check it carefully for cracks or other irregularities? If so, my first suggestion would be to return it as faulty. If that's not an option, I'd second @RuiG's advice. Take it apart and check for shavings or burrs, give it a good clean and put it back together.
