It has been very frustrating over the past couple of weeks. I have a K100 and shorted out 3 Sony VTC5's and 2 Orange batteries (not sure what they are called but my buddy at the vape shop said they are safe for sub ohming to .4 ohms). I has just gotten a Clone Magma from ebay (Item number 380998003613). When the Magma is screwed on too tight it shorts the battery. I had a Patriot before and this never happened. I am sure that it is the Magma but it might be. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a fix? Is there anything I should look out for? Should I play with the screw on the bottom of the magma? I just do not want to spend so much money on these batteries anymore.
Battery Keeps Shorting!

Screw on the bottom?
Turn it in at least past the outside edges of the threaded portion of the connector ...if it's too far out the screw will tilt to one side or the other and make contact (short out) when you tighten it.

Yeah, it's the pin at the bottom of the 510 connector on your magma. It's either screwed too far in or out.
Will try this thanks guys if not i guess its another 11.99 i will have to dish out for a battery lol
I havent had a chance to get the battery as yet but i will try to screw it out enough to where it is stable and does not curve. Do you think this is wise or should i screw it out just to the point where it is barely just passing the rim.
Even with the rim would be safer than farther out...slightly inside should also be fine
Farther in is better than farther out as what happens is this: The farther out it comes..the less threads are actually doing anything creating the wobble that makes it short out.

With the Magma, the 510 pin holds the positive post in place and you shouldn't need to make any adjustment at all unless the positive post becomes loose from tightening down your coils over time. There is an insulator which you will see looking down between the 2 posts in the juice well. If this is damaged or misaligned it could cause a short and is a common issue even with original magma's (ask me how I know). Might be worth taking a look.
