Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!
1. What does you Atlantis coil read when you measure it on an ohm reader?
2. Have you tried any other atomizer on your mod ?
3. How long have you had your mod?
4. Has you mod ever worked?
Here are some getting started links for you.

I don't have a voltohm meter but I have heard about problems with Atlantis atomizers , and I've had it for about two months and it had done it once about two weeks after I got it, purchased a new vct4 and it has blown out three batteries in the last three days, it's like a runaway short where the battery gets to hot to hold and I can't hit the mod
Do you have another tank you can put on your mod it to try and isolate the problem? Or do you have another coil you can put in your Atlantis?
I have never heard of anyone having problems with the Atlantis coils. I have an Atlantis, no problems with any of my coils.

Remove the hybrid cap and check if it has an insulator.
If it has one, make sure it is in good condition and not melted.
If it doesn't have one, do not tighten the hybrid cap to eliminate battery rattle as it will cause a short. You have to leave it loose.
Check your batteries for tears in the wrapper, especially the ends. Tears will cause shorts.
Check the 510 pin on the atty(s) you are using. If they do not protrude far enough out you will short when you screw them on the hybrid cap.
Do not tighten your atty(s) and try to make them sit flush on the apollo, they will short. Only tighten them until you feel slight resistance.
Check the screw on the switch. It must be tightened all the way down. It cannit be loosened to adjust for battery rattle.
These are what have learned using the apollo. Mine overheated once, that was because I screwed down my atty too far creating a short. Following the above before using my apollo, I have had no problems since.
Hope this helps.

What am I looking for on the insulator? I'm new to mods so any tips will help, and is a tear in the bottom ok if I have patched with electrical tape? It's flush with the battery and leaves nothing exposed, it also does not catch on the casing of the Apollo at all
the atlantis wont work with hybrid mods. the pin is to short and flush with the 510 part.
I don't have an Atlantis, so we'll have to go with what was said above. If the pin is not adjustable, it more than likely is too short. I have a few attys like that and can't and won't use them on my apollo.
As for the insulator, make sure it is in one piece, not melted, deformed, etc. It's there to prevent direct shorts. Very easy to do in a hybrid since the battery is right there.
The only thing I will say on tears on the battery is that I make my own determination and either scrap the battery, or re-wrap it. Others may and will do what they want with tears....

Evanguilbean, I don't have your hardware, but I have been vaping mechanical mods for about two years now. You've got some really great responses to this post now from a bunch of people who know what they are doing with this stuff.
Just wanted to add one thing. You are blowing apart VTC4 batts and so far you have not been hurt from that. Every once in a while when a good battery vents it burns or explodes. Please stop vaping that gear and figure out what is wrong before you continue. Until you know what's wrong and fix it, the same thing is likely to keep happening but the result could get nasty.
Best of luck with it and vape safe

A digital multimeter like this one is a great tool to troubleshoot problems with mods. Here's a video on; Multi-Meter How to for Electronic Cigarette users.
This is very similar to the first DMM I bought when I started vaping. That $10 investment served me well until I decided to get something that had more accuracy.
