Atomizer not Reading

[UglyAdonis]

I have a velocity clone and I know it's cheap for a reason but when I put it onto a regulated box or ohms reader sometimes it will read and other times it gives wonky readings or 0.00 or says atomized short.

I've put multiple builds on it with the same results. If I put it on a mech it will fire no problems. My question is is that safe?

If it is wonky on a regulated mod and an ohm reader, I definitely wouldn't use it on a mech, not until I figured out why.

Which clone is it, not all are created equal.

I believe it is the Velocity V1 by Tobecco. I'm thinking about unscrewing the 510 and putting another one in, is that something doable, or should I not try that. I just know I have a handful of attys in the graveyard that work fine and could be sacrificed. Worst comes to worst I can just buy a new one because they are relatively cheap just trying to avoid that.

The Tobecco is a quality clone, V1 is the same I have had since it came out. Swapping the pin is an option, but I would make sure you are not shorting it out on the inside somehow. Maybe the coil is making contact with the top cap, or a screw is out too far. Maybe the insulator for the positive post is not right, with the V1 I know there is VERY little room for error for that insulator.
